Making fire alarm engineering faster, safer and more professional
Incognito Fire & Security Professional was built to solve a problem every engineer knows — turning up to a panel fault you've never seen before, with no quick way to look it up.
Engineers were on their own at the panel
Fire alarm engineering spans dozens of manufacturers, hundreds of panel variants, and thousands of possible fault codes. Fault codes vary between firmware versions. Panel behaviour changes after software updates. A fault you clear on one site's MxPro 5 might present differently on another.
Before Incognito F&S, the options were: call the manufacturer helpline (often queued), search forums and hope, or rely on institutional knowledge that walks out the door when experienced engineers move on.
There was no centralised, searchable, up-to-date knowledge base. No AI that understood the difference between an Apollo XP95 and an Apollo Discovery. No tool built specifically for the way engineers actually work — standing at a panel, phone in hand, under time pressure.
AI and fault knowledge in one place, on your phone
Incognito F&S puts two tools in your pocket: a structured, filterable fault database covering 17 manufacturers and 49 panel systems, and an AI assistant that's been trained on those systems and understands EN 54 and BS 5839-1.
You can type a fault code and get the record directly — or describe what you're seeing in plain English and get ranked probable causes with an ordered diagnostic procedure. Both tools are fast, mobile-optimised, and usable at the panel with one hand.
The result: fewer call-backs, higher first-fix rates, and a more confident engineering team — whether you're a sole trader attending your first unfamiliar panel, or an operations manager who wants consistent fault-handling across a team of eight.
Built by engineers, for engineers
Every decision we make is shaped by how fire alarm engineering actually works on the ground.
Safety above everything
The AI assistant is guidance only — it sits below the manufacturer manual, BS 5839-1, and your site-specific cause & effect document in the authority chain. It will never suggest procedures that could impair life-safety coverage.
Standards compliance
Every diagnostic response is tuned to EN 54 and BS 5839-1:2025. Where a standard applies, we cite it. Where current documentation should be deferred to, we say so. The assistant knows the difference between guidance and instruction.
Accuracy over speed
Provisional data is clearly flagged until verified by our engineering team. We would rather show you a smaller, accurate database than a large one with errors. Every fault record gets reviewed before it's published.
Built for the field
We design every screen for one-handed use on a phone, standing at a panel. No dense tables, no tiny buttons, no interfaces that require a desktop. If it doesn't work in the field, it doesn't ship.
Engineer-first
We're not a software company that happened to pick fire alarms. We built this tool because we understood the problem from the inside. Feedback from engineers shapes every update.
Continuously updated
The fault database grows every month as we add manufacturers, panel variants, and verified records. When manufacturers release new panel firmware, we update the database. The tool gets more useful over time.
Aligned with UK fire safety standards
Every AI response and fault record is developed with UK fire safety standards in mind. We don't replace the standards — we help engineers apply them faster.
The core product standard covering components used in fire alarm systems. Our AI assistant understands component classifications and references the relevant part where applicable.
The UK code of practice for system design, installation, commissioning and maintenance. The assistant is tuned to this standard and will cite it when relevant.
Covers fire door controls, suppression systems, and other ancillary protection measures. Referenced where cause & effect relationships are involved.
Manufacturers covered
17 manufacturers, 49 panel systems, 833+ fault records
