How It Works - Smoke Heat Freeze
This piece of equipment is critical for life and property protection. Unlike traditional smoke detectors, our Smoke Heat Freeze Detector alerts you and the monitoring station automatically in the event of a fire. If your alarm is disarmed, this sensor remains ready to diligently protect you and your loved ones.
