A vehicular emergency notification device mounted on a vehicle includes: a wireless communication unit wirelessly transmitting an emergency notification signal toward outside of the vehicle; and a rollover predicting unit acquiring a rollover-related quantity, which is a physical quantity for predicting a rollover of the vehicle, and predicting the rollover of the vehicle based on the acquired rollover-related quantity, wherein the wireless communication unit transmits the emergency notification signal in response to the rollover predicting unit predicting the rollover of the vehicle.

A voice alarm notification device of a fire alarm system, comprising: a network port for receiving an alarm notification signal; an audio file library in which the audio files include audio voice message files; a speaker; a processor unit connected to the network port for processing an alarm notification signal and for selecting one of the audio files from the library to be played through the speaker; and a Bluetooth module for establishing a Bluetooth communication link to the voice alarm notification device, via which link an audio voice file can be received. The device is arranged to add the audio voice file received via the Bluetooth communication link to the library so as to be available for selection by the processor unit when it receives an alarm notification signal.

A detection system for measuring one or more conditions within an area. At least one fiber optic cable transmits light wherein the at least one fiber optic cable defines a plurality of nodes arranged to measure the one or more conditions. A control system communicates with the at least one fiber optic cable such that scattered light and a time of flight record is transmitted from the at least one fiber optic cable to the control system. The control system includes a detection algorithm operable to identify a portion of the scattered light associated with each of the plurality of nodes. When determining an alert, the control system transmits data associated with a presence and magnitude of the one or more conditions at each of the plurality of nodes to a cloud computing environment and, in return, receives a notification based on the data transmitted.
