All of the indoor notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" lineup. The main notification appliances are System Sensor P2RA (red, wall mount, 2 wire) horn/strobes, which are all set to low volume, code-3, and 30cd. They are in place of the Genesis horn/strobes, even on the ceilings at Sobeys. For outdoor notification, there's a System Sensor SRKA (red, wall mount) weatherproof remote strobe outside of PetValu, which did not replace anything as there was no alarm there before. All of these alarms are operating independently, and were installed in 2017 along with the Mircom system.
