Is Your Smoke Detector Being Monitored?

Why a Regular Smoke Detector May Not Be Enough

If you're home when a fire breaks out, a smoke detector's loud beeping can be a lifesaver. But if you're away, that sound doesn’t do much. Unmonitored smoke detectors can’t call for help. They won’t notify the fire department or alert you when you’re not on the property. By the time neighbors notice smoke, it could be too late to save your home—or what’s inside.

How Monitored Smoke Detectors Work

Monitored smoke detectors connect to your existing security system and provide round-the-clock fire protection. If smoke or fire is detected, your system sends a signal to our 24/7 central monitoring station, which immediately alerts your local fire department. Even if your alarm system isn’t armed, your smoke detectors still report the emergency.

If you have an interactive system, you’ll also receive real-time alerts on your phone, so you’re informed no matter where you are.

Protection from Dead Batteries and Malfunctions

According to the NFPA, dead batteries cause nearly a quarter of smoke alarm failures. With monitored smoke detectors, the system alerts our central station if batteries are low or if a detector isn’t working properly.

Want to skip the hassle of replacing batteries? We can hard-wire your smoke detectors into your system so you’re always covered without lifting a finger.

The Real Benefit: Fast Fire Department Dispatch

The biggest advantage of a monitored smoke detector system is immediate response. When a real fire happens, every second counts. Our central station dispatches the fire department right away—potentially saving your home and your family’s safety.

The only drawback? Occasionally, false alarms happen. But if they do, simply call our central station to cancel the dispatch. It’s a small trade-off for full-time protection.
