What You Need to Know About Monitored Smoke Detectors

If you do not have monitored smoke detectors in your business, you are vulnerable to a fire emergency many hours of each day.  This is because only monitored smoke detectors can be watched by your monitoring company.

During the day while you are at your business, your hardwired or battery operated smoke detectors offer some protection, because you are there to hear them if they sound an alert.

But what if you are not there when the alarm is triggered?  Who will hear it then and call the fire department?

No one, unless your smoke detectors are monitored.  And that is what you can have with monitored smoke detectors from Honeywell. 

Smoke detectors are a logical extension to your business 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 dealer.

When smoke is sensed at any one of the protected locations in your business, 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 monitoring center may call to verify the alarm. The local fire department is then notified, so that help is on the way, whether you are at the office or away.

Honeywell offers state-of-the-art fire security systems.  Whether you need a complete system or a few components to upgrade your current system, Best Security Products can work with you to secure your business from fire and theft.
