Know Who Is on Site When It Matters Most

Instant roll calls. Real-time accountability. Clear decisions under pressure.

Fire roll, lockdown and evacuation reporting

When an alarm sounds, there’s no time for guesswork. Synel gives you immediate visibility of who is on site, so you can act quickly and with confidence.

Employees, visitors and contractors are included automatically, using live access and attendance data. Fire marshals and responsible staff can mark people safe via a mobile app, while a central dashboard shows who has been accounted for and who is still missing, in real time.

Fire rolls, lockdown and evacuation reports are generated automatically, creating a clear audit trail for compliance and post-incident review.

Why Synel

Service & Support You Can Rely On

When access control, time & attendance or safeguarding systems fail, it's rarely a software issue alone. It's the gap between design, installation and support. Synel removes that gap by owning the whole job, end to end.

In-House UK Engineering

Installations are carried out by Synel's own UK-based engineers, not subcontractors. That means consistent quality, clear accountability and people on site who understand how the hardware connects to the platform behind it.

End-to-End Responsibility

Synel designs, installs, commissions and supports every system we deploy. There's no handover between vendors and no blame shifting between hardware and software. One supplier, one standard, one point of contact.

Built for Real Sites

We handle the full on-site infrastructure, from cabling and door hardware to barriers, gates, turnstiles and biometric readers. Our engineers work in live environments every day and design systems that work in the real world, not just on paper.

Emergency Mustering FAQs

Common questions about emergency mustering answered.

How does emergency mustering work?

Emergency mustering provides instant roll call during evacuations. When a fire alarm activates, the system generates a real-time list of everyone on site based on access control and clocking data.

Fire marshals can mark individuals as safe using mobile devices or muster point readers. A central dashboard shows who is accounted for (Safe), who has not checked in (At Risk), and last known locations.

This replaces paper-based roll calls with real-time, accurate headcount data.

What is the difference between lockdown and invacuation?

Fire evacuation gets people out. Lockdown and invacuation keep them safe inside.

Invacuation moves people to interior safe zones away from an external threat, such as a chemical spill or hostile person outside. Lockdown secures perimeter doors while potentially allowing internal movement, or isolates specific zones to contain a threat.

Martyn's Law requires venues to have procedures for all three scenarios. Synel's access control can execute any of these protocols automatically.

Can access control integrate with fire alarm systems?

Yes. Synel access control systems connect directly to building fire panels via the Adam Link controller.

Upon alarm activation, the system automatically unlocks designated doors, gates and turnstiles. Power is cut to magnetic locks, ensuring they fail-safe (unlock) instantly.

The system also generates instant roll call reports showing who is on site, supporting fire safety compliance and speeding up evacuation accountability.
