Heads up mass notification

1. A notification system in an infrastructure, comprising:

a panel;

a hazard detector configured to detect a hazard and transmit an indication of said hazard to the panel; and

a notification device mounted on a surface and communicatively coupled with the panel via a retrofitted link and a terminal block of an alarm notification device;

wherein the panel is configured to:

receive the indication,

generate, based on the indication of the hazard, a message including a warning of the hazard,

transmit the message to the notification device; and

wherein the notification device is configured to:

receive the message from the panel, and

project an image including at least a portion of the message onto the surface.

2. The notification system of claim 1 , wherein the hazard detector is at least one of an optical smoke detector, a passive infra-red detector, an ionization smoke detector, a carbon-monoxide detector, an intrusion alarm, a water leak detector, an earthquake detector, or an active shooter detector.

3. The notification system of claim 1 , wherein the panel is configured to determine a plurality of messages including a plurality of recommendations to avoid the hazard, wherein at least a first recommendation of the plurality of recommendations is different from a second recommendation of the plurality of recommendations.

4. The notification system of claim 3 , further comprising a plurality of notification devices, wherein at least two of the plurality of notification devices receive different messages from the plurality of messages.

5. The notification system of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of notification devices are further configured to each project the message it receives.

6. The notification system of claim 1 , wherein the panel is configured to:

generate a non-emergency message; and

transmit the non-emergency message to the notification device.

7. The notification system of claim 1 , wherein the message includes at least one of a location of the hazard, emergency contact information, a recommended escape route, or a direction to a safe exit.

8. The notification system of claim 1 , wherein the notification device comprises at least one of a strobe light, siren, and audio speaker.

9. An emergency notification device configured for mounting on a surface, comprising:

a retrofitted link configured to provide a communication channel between a terminal block of an alarm notification device and a projection control module (PCM);

a projector configured to project light patterns on the surface; and

the PCM communicatively coupled with the projector and the retrofitted link, wherein the PCM is configured to:

receive, from a panel via the terminal block and the retrofitted link, a message including a warning of a hazard; and

cause the projector to project the message on the surface using the light patterns.

10. The emergency notification device of claim 9 , further comprises at least one of a strobe light, siren, and audio speaker.

11. The emergency notification device of claim 9 , wherein the emergency notification device is an alarm notification device.

12. A notification system in an infrastructure, comprising:

a panel configured to:

receive an indication of a hazard from a hazard detector,

determine the hazard based on the indication of the hazard,

generate, based on the hazard, a message including a warning of the hazard, and

transmit a message to a notification device; and

the notification device configured to:

receive the message from the panel via a retrofitted link and a terminal block of an alarm notification device, and

project the message on a surface.

13. The notification system of claim 12 , wherein the panel is configured to determine a plurality of messages including a plurality of recommendations to avoid the hazard, wherein at least a first recommendation of the plurality of recommendations is different from a second recommendation of the plurality of recommendations.

14. The notification system of claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of notification devices, wherein at least two of the plurality of notification devices receive different messages from the plurality of messages.

15. The notification system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of notification devices are further configured to each project the message it receives.

16. The notification system of claim 12 , wherein the panel is configured to:

generate a non-emergency message; and

transmit the non-emergency message to the notification device.

17. The notification system of claim 12 , wherein the message includes at least one of a location of the hazard, emergency contact information, a recommended escape route, or a direction to a safe exit.

18. The notification system of claim 12 , wherein the notification device comprises at least one of a strobe light, siren, and audio speaker.
