Cygnus ALERT monitoring platform addresses site safety issues
16 April 2024
CYGNUS ALERT is badged as the “perfect remote notification and monitoring complement” to Cygnus’ 100% wireless and EN 54-certified SmartNet range of fire detection and alarm systems.

The Cygnus ALERT notification and monitoring platform is a cloud-based solution designed to strengthen site safety. Using Cygnus ALERT, integrators and site administrators can receive event, fault or mesh information in real-time, thereby enabling swift responses to on-site situations.
Cygnus ALERT is a subscription-based cloud portal solution, accessed through a 2G and 4G cellular hardware module, with easy user management and notifications provided through the cloud portal via a windows browser or the intuitive user-friendly android app.
The ability for integrators to assign engineers and also end users provides enhanced support not only for the integrator, but also for on-site managers.
Configured for “seamless integration” with SmartNet, the Cygnus ALERT module can be fitted into the SmartNet control panel on-site during installation and can also be retrofitted into pre-existing installations.
Real-time information is automatically communicated to site administrators through the cloud portal to the app and via SMS, enabling prompt action to be taken.
Cloud portal
Each control panel allows for one module to be installed. The cloud portal can view and notify on multiple sites. This level of scalability ensures that the Cygnus ALERT platform is adaptable to a wide range of applications.
It can also remotely display system information once a fault is detected to provide more in-depth detail on issues including mesh status and fault history.
Cygnus ALERT is versatile and applicable to various settings such as residential and commercial buildings, industrial facilities, transport hubs, airports and construction sites, etc.
“We’re delighted to be introducing Cygnus ALERT to enhance user features for our SmartNet range,” commented Chris Bolger, CTO at Cygnus. “This allows for a new era of efficiency and responsiveness with remote monitoring for our systems. With its seamless hardware integration, easy-to-use cloud portal and app, the Cygnus ALERT system empowers organisations and individuals to stay one step ahead and ensure optimum safety and efficiency. It brings peace of mind to both site administrators and their clients.”
Cygnus ALERT users can enjoy a complementary subscription with their first purchase to provide immediate access. For continued access and uninterrupted benefits, a subscription is required beyond the initial period.
