Big space. Big question: how many detectors do you really need?

In warehouses, halls and other large open areas, covering every square metre with point detectors can mean a lot of devices, a lot of cabling and a lot of time on site.

Beam detection takes a different approach. A single beam can protect a wide stretch of open space, which can mean fewer devices to install, wire and maintain.

Fit less. Cover more.

Talk to our team about the FIREbeam smoke beam detection range from Hochiki for your next large-space project.
