Smoke detectorThis wireless device links to the Lifeline Base Unit and if triggered will send an alert through to our 24/7 monitoring centre, who will take the appropriate action, as well as sounding within the premises as well. This base unit runs on the cellular network and therefore does not require a landline and is fully Digital Switchover compatible.

Normally you are advised not to put smoke detectors in the kitchen, but for users who for example may either struggle to remember timescales or become tired easily when waiting for food to cook, this advice should be superseded.

How can it be used?

  • To alert a user that there is smoke in the property and urgent action needs to be taken
  • Can be linked to a 24/7 monitoring centre who can make contact and arrange support (where required)
