How a monitored smoke detector works with your security system.

   Smoke detectors are a logical extension to your home security system. Whether they are installed with a new system or added to an existing one, the smoke detectors can be connected directly to the security control panel monitored by your security service.

   When smoke is sensed at any one of the protected locations in your home, the detector will send a message to your control panel which will then cause all the evacuation horns to sound. The panel will then relay the emergency signal to your monitoring service where the message is received and a response made. The local fire department is then notified, so that help is on the way, whether you are home or away.

Do I have enough smoke detectors?

Listen to what the National Fire Protection Association's 1993 "National Fire Alarm Code" specifies for adequate household protection.

"Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke detector also shall be installed in each sleeping room." NFPA,1993
