What Are Wireless Interconnect Smoke Alarms?

 An interconnected smoke alarm that detects smoke in the basement will alert all other linked devices in the home. When one detector detects smoke, high temperatures, or carbon monoxide, all detectors in the system will sound an alarm simultaneously. This ensures you receive timely warnings no matter where a fire is occurring.
The installation of a fully operational smoke alarm continues to play an integral role in providing homes the best defense against the many dangers attached to undetected smoke. One of the limiting factors of a basic smoke alarm is that it will only alert the surrounding area. This can potentially create a scenario where you may not even hear a smoke alarm sounding off. Think of a basic smoke detector sounding off in a basement. There’s really no guarantee that someone living in a two story home will be able to hear it from their upstairs bedroom. It’s one of the most glaring weaknesses of a standard smoke detector and one that a Wireless Interconnect Smoke Alarm immediately addresses.



How interconnected Smoke Alarms Work:

Wireless smoke alarms communicate via radio frequency. They have a signal unique to the model that will wirelessly connect with others in the same model series.
Whole House Alarm: In modern homes, fires can spread rapidly within minutes; therefore, early, unified alarms reduce the risk of people missing local alarms while asleep.
