Monitored Smoke Detector
A smoke detector for a compatible telecare system can send an alert to our monitoring service when smoke is detected. This provides another route to assistance if the person cannot reach their alarm button.

Smoke detection linked to monitored support
The current monitored smoke device combines an audible smoke alarm with a radio alert to a compatible receiving system. It has a test button, indicator light and silence function. We will confirm the supplied model and arrange connection and testing with your telecare system.
A compatible monitored smoke detector works with the registered telecare base unit. When it detects smoke, the system can pass an alert to the monitoring centre for the agreed response.
This may be useful where someone could struggle to hear an alarm, respond to it or press a personal alarm button. Suitability depends on the person, the property and the equipment installed.
The detector must be positioned, fitted and tested according to the current manufacturer’s instructions. Monitored alerts form part of wider fire safety arrangements and do not replace a suitable fire safety plan.
What to check before ordering
- The telecare base unit and monitoring service used in the property.
- The current detector model and suitable installation arrangements.
- How regular testing will be carried out.
- The customer’s response contacts and agreed alert arrangements.
Equipment should be selected around the person, their routine and the response available.
