Overview
24/7 professional monitoring sends the fire department
It sounds silly but some flashy and expensive “smart” fire detectors can’t do the single most important thing you need after sounding an audible alarm – call the fire department. With Surety professional monitoring the PowerG heat detector sends the fire department whether you’re away from home, unconsious, or overwhelmed.
Life safety devices should not depend on WIFI
Your alarm panel connects through cellular so it’s more reliable and doesn’t depend on WIFI. Add WIFI in addition to cellular for maximum reliability with dual path communication.
Reduce false alarms
Provide fire detection coverage in areas where false alarm hazards hinder smoke detector use such as kitchens and unfinished basements.
Whole home integration
As a part of the larger smart security system, the PowerG heat detector can do things like automatically turn off your HVAC fan when fire is detected, preventing smoke from circulating around the house and giving you more time to get out.
Why should I use PowerG sensors?
PowerG sensors work at longer distances and are more reliable, energy efficient, and secure than traditional security sensors. They even save you money in the long run. Learn more about PowerG
