The “Interconnected Smoke Detector” is an innovative smoke alarm that combines smoke detection with over-temperature detection, preventing incidents where smoke alarms fail to trigger due to smokeless combustion or smoldering. It not only features high-precision monitoring and real-time alerts but also offers network connectivity, allowing users to monitor their home’s safety anytime via a mobile app.

It integrates fire precaution, warning, and alarm, providing real-time monitoring of smoke concentration. It triggers an alert at the first sign of an anomaly, allowing for preventive measures, and quickly reports any fire incidents. Additionally, it can connect to network, seamlessly interfacing with the fire control center for instantly notifying the alarm information to users. This enhances the overall intelligence of fire control, building an efficient and comprehensive social fire prevention and control network.

We have meticulously arranged the product's layout, concealing the low-frequency yet essential power switch deep within the body. This design ensures stable operation while reducing the risk of accidental misuse. The self-check switch and mute button are intuitively placed on the front of the device, making them easy to operate. With a single press, the device powers on, accompanied by a crisp sound alert, instantly bringing the device to life. Notably, each type of malfunction and alert is equipped with a dedicated sound and light indicator, making issues immediately apparent and enabling quicker resolution.

It adheres to the principles of minimalist aesthetics, featuring a design based on a circular form combined with triangular elements. The overall color scheme is a pure white, creating a clean and elegant visual impression. This design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also provides a sense of cohesion, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into various interior environments. Additionally, departing from the traditional perforated design around the edges, we have adopted a central hollow design, making smoke detection more focused and precise.

For its materials, we have carefully selected eco-friendly flame-retardant materials. These materials offer exceptional high-temperature resistance, ensuring the stable operation of critical equipment and minimizing fire damage. Additionally, they significantly reduce the release of harmful gases during combustion, thereby lowering environmental pollution.
