Intelligent networked independent smoke detection alarm

Maybe you will be confused in front of the screen

Does a small device the size of a palm really work?

How does the rescue work after the alarm is issued?

What are the precautions for installation and use?

Let's first review a few cases and see how "it" has made great contributions.

At the end of last year, 35,000 networked intelligent smoke fire detection alarms were installed in the homes of the elderly who live alone and have difficulty moving, as well as in public areas such as corridors in old communities, and within half a year of installation, 5 fires have been successfully found and 5 families have been saved, of which 4 of the rescued people are over 75 years old.

At 1:53 a.m. on November 18, 2023, the micro fire station in Dagantang Village, Tongzhou District, suddenly received a fire alarm, which came from an independent intelligent photoelectric smoke detection fire detection alarm from a household in the village. After the firefighters arrived at the scene, they found that the bedding in the old man's bedroom was smoldered after being roasted by electric heating, and the smoke produced triggered the indoor smoke alarm.

When the old man's son heard the alarm, he immediately moved his parents to another room outside to take shelter, and pulled the power to cut off the electricity, while splashing water to extinguish the ignited bedding. Due to the timely treatment, the two elderly people were safe and sound.

How it saves people

Relative to people

It senses fires in advance

An audible alarm is issued by monitoring the smoke

And send the alarm information to the background

Connect your mobile terminal

Synchronize the location of the alarm

Maximize the likelihood of escape

Ionic smoke sensors

Lu Jinguang, the engineer in charge of installing the equipment, said that one of the key components of the equipment is the "ionic smoke sensor", which is able to monitor the concentration of smoke. Only when the smoke reaches a certain concentration and stays, the smoke alarm will alarm, not the more sensitive the better, otherwise a little smoke will alarm it, which will greatly increase the false alarm rate.

IoT phone card

Lu Jinguang said that if the alarm sound is to alert the party in danger, then the "Internet of Things phone card" is responsible for notifying others.

Each card can add five emergency contacts through the mobile phone software, including the person, relatives, community, property micro fire station, etc., to achieve "one alarm, multiple parties informed".

Two seconds after the alarm is triggered, the mobile phone number added in the equipment system will receive the call, and after the voice broadcasts the time and place, it prompts "Please confirm the alarm as soon as possible, please press the button to confirm the alarm, 1 verifying, 2 false alarms, 3 real fire alarms." ”

Civil air defense is fundamental

Any 'technical defense' needs 'civil air defense' to keep up, smoke alarms want to really play a role, after the alarm sounds, but also need the elderly family, property, community, village and fire department to cooperate.
