Brian Foster, C-Tec’s UK Sales Manager said: “Adding an Envision Gateway Hub to a Cast powered landlord system unlocks a host of features perfect for installers, maintainers, end users, duty holders and building safety managers.

As all ‘events’ are stored in the cloud, checking the status of a system from a remote location is simple. The software also allows users to generate powerful site-specific reports that can be scheduled to arrive daily, weekly, or monthly to help demonstrate due diligence via a verifiable audit trail.”

Envision’s IOS and Android compatible Engineer App saves time and money by allowing authorised personnel to interrogate a Cast system prior to visiting site to determine if there are any contaminated devices or other issues. Fires, faults, tests, and other system notifications can also be sent in real time to a PC or smart phone.

The system’s powerful graphics module also allows the progress of a fire to be monitored in real time anywhere with an internet connection on a user-uploaded site plan. If the fire service can see the fire spreading, they can evacuate dwellings at the turn of a switch.

Brian said: “Envision strengthens C-Tec’s position as a complete systems provider as it allows engineers and responsible people to access pertinent information relating to our Cast fire system, our Evac-Alert BS 8629 evacuation alert system and our Hush Pro domestic fire system which are currently protecting thousands of people in high-rise residential buildings worldwide.”
