Govt mandates IoT-based real-time monitoring system in buildings

The Delhi Government has mandated the installation of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based automated continuous monitoring system (ACMS) in specified buildings to digitally monitor fire prevention and life safety systems in real time by sending alerts through SMS, according to a recent gazette notification.

The new provision, introduced under the Delhi Fire Service (Amendment) Rules, aims to ensure that both active and passive fire safety measures in buildings remain functional, well-maintained and capable of responding during emergencies.
