Securitas Technology smoke detector: A technology you'll hopefully never use.
Ideally, you’d go your whole life without ever needing to be saved by a smoke alarm or fire alarm. But fires start too easily and spread too quickly not to be prepared for the worst, which is why having the best smoke alarms and fire alarms installed is a good idea. According to SGI Canada, 24,000 residential and commercial fires break out every year in Canada, leading to 3048 injuries and 377 deaths. An efficient smoke detector/fire detector will be there to limit any kind of damage.
In just three minutes, the heat from a small fire can turn into a catastrophic disaster by causing what firefighters call a “flashover” (where everything in the room bursts into flames). But before that happens, the poisonous gases created by fire, like carbon monoxide, can quickly cause confusion and disorientation, impeding your ability to either extinguish the fire pre-flashover or get out in time to save yourself and your family. This is why it’s so critical to have a functional smart home smoke detector and fire alarm installed in your home, and why some provinces (like Ontario) have mandated that all houses are equipped with fire and smoke detectors.

Fire prevention solution: Smart home photoelectric smoke detector
Securitas Technology takes fire prevention a step further with Smart Smoke Detectors that connect to our monitoring station and your smartphone, so we can take immediate action and you can be immediately notified if you’re not home.
A Securitas Technology smoke alarm security system technician will come to your home and install your smoke and fire alarm detectors as required, following the recommended guidelines to not install them in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. They’ll then set up the technology, connecting your smart devices and our monitors. Should your alarm go off, you’ll immediately get a call. If you either don’t answer the phone or you answer and confirm the presence of a fire, we’ll call the fire department for you so you can focus on getting yourself and your family to safety. Then, we’ll call whoever you’ve listed as your emergency contact to let them know what’s going on.
With Securitas Technology, you have more than a fire alarm or a smoke and gas detector. You have actual support to get you to safety and help you protect what really matters. Your smart smoke detector is also linked to our monitoring centre to ensure quick action if the fire monitoring system is triggered. Equip your home today with the best smoke detectors on the market.

FAQs
Your regular home smoke detector is most likely a smoke detector that uses ionization technology that is very sensitive to smoke that could potentially start a cooking fire. A photoelectric smoke detector is much more precise and will not trigger in response to this kind of smoke. The photoelectric smoke sensor is more precise to detect smoke coming from an actual fire. The photoelectric smart smoke detector will also detect a real fire quicker on average. We only sell photoelectric smoke detectors.
Within three to five minutes, a fire can get out of control without the support of firefighters. After 12 minutes, the building could become a total loss. It is essential to be equipped with a smoke detector system connected to an alarm center to evacuate your family and help ensure a faster reaction from the firefighters.
A smoke fire can easily have between 6,400 and 12,800 PPM (Particles Per Million) of carbon monoxide (CO) in the air. At this point, the human falls unconscious and can die within three minutes. The risk of dying from gas suffocation is therefore more likely than the risk of dying from burns. Our photoelectric detectors will help detect this type of smoke faster than ionic detectors.
