The interface additionally lets you view water supplies, evacuation and access routes, and utility shut-offs. Precise Touch is designed for use with Fike's Precise Vision "event-management system" but is likely workable with other software — the company's page on the product isn't too clear on that. One way or another, though, the device is part of a system meant to generate activity reports and to automatically alert personnel via e-mail when alarms are triggered.
Not only that, but when you're not having a fire — which is, we hope, like, always — the Precise Touch can be programed for non-emergency use, such as building/board announcements, rotating advertising, or a digital resident directory. (See at left.) With something as spiffy as this in your command center, you'll be to the manor Bourne.
