Smoke and Thermal Detectors

Fire is one of the most common and most devastating hazards a home can experience. With Signature Security Group you can rely on 24 hour alarm monitoring of your premises against fire through a smoke dectector or thermal detector. Upon receipt of a signal, we can then notify both you and the fire brigade to eliminate or minimise the effects fire can have on your property.
Smoke Detectors are mandatory
- In many regions local Councils determine whether smoke detectors are mandatory. Regardless, in the interest of safety, it is good practice to place smoke alarms in all places where people sleep, including houses, apartments, hostels
- Please check your Council bylaws before interfering with or removing a smoke alarm unless for the purpose of maintenance or replacement
You have the choice to purchase a low cost, battery run smoke detector that you can install yourself. However, you are therefore responsible for the ongoing checking and maintenance of this detector and the only way you will be alerted to smoke/fire will be via the detector itself.
Protect Your Family with a Monitored Smoke Detector
Alternatively you can have a smoke detector installed and linked to your monitored security system. Signature Security will then also be alerted should the detector be activated – this means an appropriate action plan can be carried out (as per the response plan for your burglar alarm). This greatly minimises the chances of a fire devastating your home and threatening your family and belongings.
Please remember an evacuation procedure, (particularly for families with small children), is also highly recommended. Families should draw an escape plan, clearly identifying at least two alternative ways out of their home. They should practice this procedure, agree on an assembly area and ensure everyone knows how to call for help should an emergency occur.
Smoke Detectors

Unlike battery-powered detectors available in hardware stores, hardwired smoke detectors use a more advanced analytical system to detect invisible or visible smoke particles in the area in which they are located. These detectors are also monitored to ensure effective operation, so you never have to worry about failure.
Signature Security Group offers two types of system smoke detectors. An ionisation detector reacts to gasses produced in the early stages of combustion. Secondly, a beam detector can be used to cover large areas that will signal when smoke obscures the light beam transmission to the receiver. Both of Signature Security's system smoke detectors are highly effective at detecting and signalling smoke at its earliest production.

Thermal Detectors
|
 |
These detectors will create an alarm condition when the area reaches a pre-determined temperature. Two types of thermal detectors are available; fixed temperature detectors measure the surrounding air temperature, and rate-of-rise detectors monitor changes in temperature. Thermal detectors have been proven successful in assisting in the early detection of fires which in turn helps to minimise or eliminate damage and/or loss.
