Fire Detection
Protect the ones you love with professionally installed and monitored smoke detectors from DFT Security
System Sensor smoke detectors are a logical extension to your home 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 DFT's Central Monitoring Station.
When smoke is sensed at any one of the protected locations in you home, 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 DFT's Central Monitoring Station where the message is received and a response made. The local fire department is then notified, so that help is on the way, whether your are home or away.
According to 1997 National Fire Protection Association statistics:
- Every year, 81% of all people who die in fires, die at home.
- 45% of reported home fires and 60% of home fire deaths occureed in homes with no smoke detectors.
- There were 406,500 residential fires, 3,390 deaths and $7.0 billion in direct property damage in 1997.
"But I already have a smoke detector..."
You may already have a battery-operated or hard wired 120VAC smoke detector in your home, but how do they compare to a monitored system?
-
Battery-operated
Battery operated detectors have two major problems. First, they are rarely connected to other detectors, remote warning devices, or a central monitoring station. If they are located outside a bedroom, they may not be heard by a sound sleeper, especially if the bedroom door is closed or just partially open. If detectors are located on a different level of a residence than the bedroom level, then the likelihood they will wake up sleepers diminishes further. A second problem with battery operated detectors is their batteries- if they are not periodically replaced, detectors will not work! Too many fire deaths occur in homes where detectors fail to function because their batteries are dead, disconnected or removed.
-
AC Powered Detectors
Many AC powered detectors are not connected to other detectors or remote warning devices. Even those that are only connected to other devices can provide a local warning of fire. If no one is home, a fire can develop without anyone taking action to protect valuable property.
-
Monitored Detectors
Monitored Detectors, especially when located on all levels of a residence and in all bedrooms, provide the best kind of early warning fire protection. If monitored detectors sense a fire developing, they signal an alarm control which activates all evacuation horns throughout a residence and sends a fire alarm signal to a remote central station which can notify the fire department. They provide fire protection when you are home and away. As part of a home security system, monitored detectors provide both an AC primary power supply and a rechargeable back up battery.
