Systems and methods for archiving data, e.g., log files with live audio, corresponding to an emergency event is provided. Upon an occurrence of a safety event, a notification device, e.g., a smoke detector, detects smoke, and transmits an alert to a fire control panel (FACP). Upon receiving the alert, the FACP generates a log file with data corresponding to the devices responsive to the event. Additionally, a live audio file corresponding to the event is generated, via the FACP or other device. The FACP may then connect to a data controller, via a gateway application, for transmitting the log file and audio file for archiving the same. An audio message of the audio file may then be embedded, via an embedding means, into the log file.

History archive of live audio and methods of using the same

An approach is described for sending alert messages and notifications to individual devices and in a format understandable by a user of the communication device.

Wireless emergency alert notifications

Systems, methods, and devices for live paging from a mobile device in operable communication with a fire control panel are provided. Upon an occurrence of a stimulus activity at a fire control panel, e.g., an emergency event, an operator, remote from the fire control panel, may launch a control application from the mobile device. Upon launching the control application, a connection between the mobile device and the fire control panel may be established, and a microphone coupled to the mobile device may be activated for the operator to begin paging. The page may then be broadcasted in real-time via one or more annunciators operably connected to the fire control panel, or, as a recorded message.
