Kidde Commercial’s Evolve fire alarm platform is a next-generation control panel that introduces enterprise-level fire safety capabilities for small- to mid-sized environments. Evolve is designed to be easily installed and maintained and is backwards compatible.
Evolve comes with a 10-inch touchscreen for ease of operation. The base panel comes with six fully programmable virtual switches, all controlled through the touchscreen display. Organizations can add up to 72 programmable switches, each assigned to its own five-color programmable LED to enable quick status appraisals. These switches allow the user to enable or disable multiple zones, functionalities, and alerts as needed.
The new offering is designed to future-proof alarm systems via software upgrades to increase functionality and panel life. Initial upgrades to enable networking features and integrated audio capabilities are planned soon.
Kidde Commercial introduced Evolve to dealers at the Kidde Commercial Dealer Summit on May 22, 2025. The system is available for purchase immediately.
