Abstract: The invention relates to a safety reporting network 1 having a local area monitoring network 2 for a monitoring object 3, wherein the at least one local area monitoring network 2 has at least one monitoring camera 7, wherein the monitoring camera 7 is designed to output an event notice E, having a first network 5 and a central safety control device 13, wherein the local area monitoring network 2 is connected to the central safety control device 13 via the first network 5 for the purpose of data interchange, wherein the event notice E is transmitted to the central safety control device 13 via the first network 5, having a second network 18 and at least one agent device 19 that is connected to the central safety control device 13 via the second network 18, wherein the event notice E or an event notice E? processed on the basis of the event notice is transmitted to the agent device 19 as an alarm notice A, wherein the safety reporting network 1 has a plurality of local area monitoring networks 2, wherein the plu

Abstract: Alarm installations in buildings or other environments are used to notify people of particular events, particularly hazards. By way of example, fire alarm installations usually have visual signal generators which, in the event of an alert, bring a hazard situation to the attention of people in a building by means of visual signals. In this case, the aim is to use the visual signals to prompt the people to leave the building via the escape routes. A signal apparatus (1) for an alarm installation (2) is proposed, having a signal generator (3) for outputting a notification signal (6) to the environment of the signal apparatus (1), having a control device (4) for actuating the signal generator (3), and having an activation interface (5) for receiving an activation signal for triggering and/or synchronizing the control apparatus (1), wherein the activation interface (5) is designed to receive a notification signal (6) from a different signal generator than the activation signal.
