Case Study: Leading World-Class Cinema Exhibitor achieves reliable, low-maintenance smoke detection and cost savings with Xtralis OSID

Theatre franchise utilizes OSID smoke detectors to protect movie goers and venues

A long-established Mexican cinema franchise known for its Luxury Cinema experience—recliner seating and in-seat dining—operates hundreds of theatres across Mexico and worldwide. The chain struggled with frequent false alarms, high maintenance costs and access issues using traditional spot detectors in large, high-ceiling, high-humidity auditoriums, prompting a search for a more reliable, serviceable detection system.

They selected OSID by Xtralis beam smoke detection, whose battery-powered emitters and accessible Imager simplify installation, inspection and cleaning without disrupting screenings. Typical rooms now use about 10 OSID units in place of roughly 64 spot detectors, cutting wiring and maintenance labor, dramatically reducing false alarms, and are being rolled out across most locations with plans to update and equip new sites.
