When you need to update old, traditional smoke detectors in your home or business, wireless interconnected smoke detectors are a wise choice. In a home, you should install one of these outside of each bedroom and at least one on each level of the structure. It is also a good idea to install one in an attached garage if you have one.
These wireless smoke detectors are connected to each other through your home’s or building’s wireless internet service. Each of the devices has its identifier for connection. You can connect as many of these wireless smoke detectors as you need to. If the power goes out, these devices still work. They have built-in batteries so that they can be powered in case of an electrical outage.
The interconnected capacity of these smoke detectors enhances your safety. If one of them detects smoke in the air, all of the alarms will sound. This gives you time to evacuate before fire and smoke can spread into other parts of the home or building. For example, if a fire started in your attached garage, the interconnected smoke alarms would all sound as soon as the smoke detector in the garage detects the smoke. If you are upstairs sleeping, you would hear the alarm and have time to evacuate before the smoke makes its way into the upstairs part of your house.
These smoke alarms allow you to set passwords for enhanced security. You can use the app to check their status online when away from home.
