While conventional fire alarm systems are effective in providing a basic level of fire detection, they may have limitations in larger or more complex structures where more detailed information about the location of a fire is crucial. In such cases, addressable fire alarm systems, which offer individual addressing of devices, may be preferred for their enhanced capabilities.
