Between service visits, most fire systems are a closed box — you find out about last month’s fault at next quarter’s meeting. Nimbus Connect opens the box. Gemini AMPM’s platform gives you 24/7 real-time visibility of your fire alarm panels: live status, instant event alerts and cloud-held test history, from any desk or phone.
Nimbus Connect links your fire alarm panels to a secure cloud platform, so the events a panel logs internally — fires, faults, disablements, tests — become visible the moment they happen. You choose which events matter and who hears about them: a plant fault might email the facilities inbox, while a fire event pushes instantly to every phone on the list. Across a portfolio, one dashboard shows every panel’s live status side by side.
That changes the economics of response. A detector head disabled by a contractor on Friday no longer stays disabled all weekend unnoticed. A panel running on batteries after a power trip gets attention within the hour. And when something does need an engineer, we arrive already knowing what the panel knows — remote diagnostics mean the first visit is usually the fixing visit, with our 24-hour named-engineer response behind it.
Nimbus Connect pairs with nimbusGo, the portable panel interface our engineers carry on site. It guides accurate, repeatable fire panel tests, captures each result automatically — including photos where evidence helps — and logs everything straight to the cloud. No transcribed clipboards, no gap between what was tested and what was recorded. Because nimbusGo works with panels from all major manufacturers, a mixed estate ends up with one consistent, searchable testing record.
For anyone answerable to an auditor, insurer or building safety regulator, that record is the point. System status, test history and event logs sit in one place, accessible from anywhere, ready to export as detailed proof-of-testing reports. Compliance stops depending on a binder in a plant room. Nimbus Connect comes into its own across healthcare, education, hospitality, residential and commercial portfolios — ask us for a demonstration on your own buildings.
Nimbus Connect is a real-time fire safety management platform that connects your fire alarm panels to the cloud. It gives 24/7 visibility of system status, sends customised instant notifications when panel events occur — fires, faults, disablements — and holds your event and test history where you can reach it from desktop or mobile. In short, it turns the fire panel from a box you check occasionally into a system that tells you when something needs attention.
In almost every case, yes. The platform is built for broad panel integration, and the nimbusGo testing device is designed for universal compatibility with equipment from all major manufacturers — so a mixed estate assembled over years of different installers is exactly the situation it suits. We confirm compatibility panel by panel during a site survey, connect each one, and set up the notification rules with your team before anything goes live.
No — it strengthens both. An alarm receiving centre still provides the formal emergency response, and BS 5839-1 still requires physical six-monthly servicing; Nimbus Connect is the visibility layer that sits alongside them. It tells you and us about faults, disablements and events the moment they happen, evidences every test in the cloud, and lets engineers diagnose before travelling. Think of it as the difference between a system that is checked and a system that is watched.
A named engineer, not a call centre, comes back within 24 hours. Tell us the building and what you’re dealing with, and we’ll scope it properly.
