I have worked on Fire Alarm Systems in the UK and in Germany, and I would have to say that the UK fire alarm equipment appears to be far superior to what is available in Germany.
In the UK, a fire alarm manufacturer can make just the fire alarm panels, such as Kentec or Advance Electronics. The panels are then designed to work with various fire alarm protocols such as Apollo or Hochiki. Therefore, all there R&D resources are used to produce very advanced fire alarm panels.
However, in Germany, the manufacturer is responsible to making the complete fire alarm system. You cannot buy the fire alarm panel from one manufacturer and the fire detection from another.
As for the wireless fire alarm sector, once again the UK is way ahead of Germany and from what I can see, well ahead of China as well.
Being a London based fire alarm company Fire Systems Ltd, specialises in all types of fire alarms, especially wireless fire alarm systems and purchase the majority of our equipment from the UK.
Our selection of fire detection is usually Apollo or Argus protocol. We use Apollo for the wired fire alarms, and Argus for the wireless fire alarms, and are very happy with the results.
