Abstract (en)

Apparatus for monitoring a building having a plurality of rooms. A plurality of beacons is each arranged to transmit a light output signal. The apparatus also comprises a plurality of waveguides suitable for deployment in the building so that each of the plurality of rooms has at least one of the waveguides arranged to receive the light output signal from one or more of the beacons when said one or more of the beacons is active in that room. There is at least one signal capture unit arranged to receive, via the waveguides, the light output signals resulting from the beacons in the rooms. A signal processor is arranged to distinguish, in use, the light output signal from a first beacon in a first room from the light output signal from a second beacon in a second, different, room.
