Fire Alarm Monitoring
Smoke and heat events reported to a monitoring station the same way a break-in would be — added alongside your burglar alarm.
A standalone smoke detector does one thing: make noise in the room it's in. Monitored fire alarm detection goes further — a smoke or heat event gets reported to a central monitoring station, so help can be dispatched even if nobody's home to hear the alarm.
Because our burglar alarm panels already support multi-carrier cellular monitoring, adding fire detection is usually a matter of adding the right detectors to an existing or new system rather than starting from scratch.
This applies to both homes and businesses — commercial properties in particular often have code or insurance reasons to have monitored fire detection in place, not just a battery-powered detector on the ceiling.
Benefits
- Smoke/heat events reported to a monitoring station automatically
- Faster response than a standalone battery-powered detector
- Combined with burglar alarm monitoring on the same panel
- Available for both residential and commercial properties
- Works over the same 5G multi-carrier connection as burglar monitoring
How Installation Works
Assessment
We review the property and any existing alarm system to see what's already in place.
Detector Placement
Smoke and heat detectors placed to match the property's layout and code requirements.
Installation
Detection devices installed and wired into the monitored panel.
Monitoring Activation
We confirm the fire monitoring line is active and reporting correctly before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be added to my existing burglar alarm system?
In many cases yes — contact us and we can evaluate your current panel to see what's possible without a full system replacement.
How is this different from a regular smoke detector?
A standalone smoke detector only sounds locally. A monitored fire alarm reports the event to a central monitoring station, so help can be dispatched even if no one is home to hear it.
Is this required for businesses, or just recommended?
Depends on the property and local code — some commercial spaces have specific requirements. We can talk through what applies to your building during the assessment.
Maintenance & Support
Detector testing, panel servicing, and monitoring-line checks as part of ongoing system support.
