Fire Monitoring
A decentralized alarm monitoring system, or commonly known as DECAMS
A decentralized alarm monitoring system, or commonly known as DECAMS, is a vital fire safety tool in keeping your building facilities and occupants safe from fire hazards.
DECAM: A Core Pillar of Singapore’s Fire Safety Since the 1980s
Our founding Managing Director, Mr. TC Koh, recognized that false alarms and unverified signals were causing unnecessary loss of lives and assets while straining fire service resources. Working closely with Singapore Fire Services, he supported the legislation and implementation of DECAM.
Today, Ademco is the leading DECAM provider in Singapore, achieving the lowest false alarm rates for many consecutive years and continuing to work closely with SCDF to elevate fire monitoring standards. We also extend similar Fire and Emergency Monitoring solutions across Asia as part of our Smart City initiatives.
Why Fire Monitoring Matters?
Effective fire monitoring ensures that alarm signals are verified before emergency services are deployed, allowing resources to be directed to real incidents. Since fire can double in size every 30 seconds, accurate and timely verification is critical to minimizing damage and protecting lives.
As an independent monitoring party, the system enhances credibility, identifies faulty building alarm systems, and serves as a reliable interface between the public and fire services. This strengthens operational efficiency, protects the morale of fire responders, and maintains public confidence in emergency response systems.
