Intrusion is not the only risk homeowners and business managers face. Fire is a leading cause of accidental death, with 70% of fire-related fatalities occurring at night. By installing smoke detectors that are managed around the clock through the intruder alarm system, tragedies could be halved - a fact which is proven in countries where 80% of homes are equipped with smoke detectors.

The DFS8M is a wireless photo-electronic smoke detector suitable for residential and commercial applications. It detects all types of smoke and has a built-in siren for compliance with the EN14604 European standard. When the DFS8M is triggered, its integral sounder notifies occupants, and the control panel sends a signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or the end users enabling swift action. Other messages which can be relayed to the ARC include tamper, maintenance, and battery condition.

End users benefit from the peace of mind of knowing that their smoke detectors are monitored round the clock for maintenance and smoke detection, and service calls are automatically scheduled should the detector require cleaning or a replacement battery. Because the detector is wireless, it can easily be added to existing wireless and hybrid intruder alarm systems without disrupting business operations or home decor.
