Fire panel log management system with environmental data integration, and related methods

Abstract

A fire panel log management system has a custom-made local computing device externally connected to the panel via an accessible port such as an RS232 printer port. The device captures binary encoded text logs, converts them into a standardized text format, and transmits to cloud-based data buckets. The device exchanges data with a remote computing device, or server, using an application layer communication protocol such as MQTT or HTTP, along with cryptographic communication protocol such as TLS/SSL to ensure secure communication. Real-time environmental data is collected such as weather, temperature, humidity, and solar radiation, including local temperature, humidity and air pressure. A web-based application provides a dashboard for visualizing logs, environmental data, and device status. Advanced log filtering by time and keywords, historical data review, with multi-tier user access control (Admin, Dealer, and Manager). The system is scalable and adaptable across various fire safety systems.
