Both The National Waterfront Museum in Swansea and The Assembly Building in Cardiff sought an integrated security system.
Following Vision Systems’ recent acquisition of voice product firm Millbank, the system designed by Chubb’s Scott Philips and project managed by Barry Parker uses Vision Systems’ fire protection and security video product offerings, which now incorporates Millbank’s voice response systems.
Working to Parker’s specifications, Vision Systems says it provided an integrated systems solution. Featuring a combination of VESDA LaserCOMPACT and LaserPLUS early warning smoke detectors, and the ADPRO remote video surveillance system, plus a Millbank VeriFIRE voice alarm system, Chubb reports has providing a multi-purpose system. The £30.8m National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, designed by Wilkenson Eyre Architects, is due to open in August 2005.
What they say
Barry Parker said: “Having worked with Millbank for many years, its integration into the Vision Systems’ portfolio made perfect sense. Sitting alongside ADPRO and VESDA, it provides the voice response, an increasing essential element of any security system, which is becoming mandatory for public venues in line with the recent BS8418 legislation. Streamlining operations by offering a complementary range of advanced solutions in house, Visions Systems’ product offering is in line with the future demands of modern installations."
Neil Voce, Sales and Business Development Director of Voice Response Systems at Vision Systems added: "We are responding to a need amongst our customers to supply a truly integrated early warning solution and look forward to working with specifiers and installers to develop our approach." Vision Systems has also recently collaborated with Scott Philips of Chubb to offer a multi-purpose system for Cardiff’s £50m Welsh Assembly Building.
