The ARC uses artificial intelligence to sort and classify reports and determine in a matter of seconds whether or not civil defence intervention is required.
In villas, the fully automated system detects smoke, heat or fire round-the-clock and does not require WiFi. It works via sensors on radio frequency. Any hazard, including disruption in elctricity, triggers an alarm to occupants and civil defence.
Hassantuk runs two projects — Hassantuk for Homes and Hassantuk for Buildings. The ministry is working to connect more than 500,000 buildings and villas to the system by 2021.
In October last year, the ministry signed a partnership with Injazat Data Systems to link over 150,000 existing buildings. In October this year, the ministry officially launched the project in villas in partnership with etisalat.
Hassantuk aims to connect existing and upcoming buildings and facilities round-the-clock to ensure the highest levels of maintenance and safety and protect life and property.
What is Hassantuk?
Hassantuk (‘protect you’ in Arabic) is a cutting-edge villa and building safety solution that optimises fire and emergency responses through a smart alarm system.
■ In case of fire, the system first raises alarms to allow occupants to evacuate.
■ It then automatically sends an alarm to the Alarm Receiving Centre where operators will verify if an alarm is genuine or false in less than 120 seconds.
■ Finally, it automatically informs emergency services control rooms and nearest civil defence centres to dispatch urgent assistance to the scene. It then maps the exact location of the fire and the fastest route to reach it.
