Fire Alarm Systems
A home fire alarm system is usually part of a total security system
providing burglary protection in addition to fire protection. Such a system
supervises doors, windows, and spaces within the home for break-in and may
provide monitoring services by dialing your telephone to report a fire or
intrusion to a security office, where it will be reported to your local
police or fire department.
Due to their relatively high cost, these systems are generally found only in
larger homes. The system can cost $1000 or more to install, with 24-hour
monitoring service adding $15 to $20 per month.
Components of the System
These systems consist of a central control panel to which smoke alarms and
heat detectors are connected, along with bells or horns that are activated
when the system triggers an alarm. Other sensors associated with the
burglary functions connect to doors and windows or monitor rooms for motion
or body heat. The control panel operates from house power but also usually
contains an emergency battery which can operate the system for about 24
hours during a power outage.
Fire alarm systems that provide remote monitoring services can also be used
to provide medical alert services. Here a person with health problems who
lives alone carries a radio transmitter that can trigger the system in case
they need assistance. Signals received at the monitoring station are
identified by type (fire, burglary, medical alert) so that the proper
response can be made. |
