Be in the know

The Nimbus Notify app from FireMate (Android or iOS) delivers location-specific event notifications as they happen. You will receive notifications on your smartphone even when the screen is locked, and the application is closed.

Nimbus Notify is totally configurable with repeat alerts until cleared, selectable sounds and the ability for a user to feedback the cause of the event – ideal for recording false and/or unwanted alarms. All activity is recorded to an infinite log where you can access the information through any desktop or mobile internet connection, including your FireMate dashboard.
