If you have a fire alarm in the apartment, you can not be afraid for the safety of your family, since this type of systems are characterized by high efficiency.
To protect your home, you can choose the address-subject, target -an -an or threshold alarm. Each of the listed systems is intended for timely recognition of the ignition sites with the subsequent transfer of the alarm to the security remote control. The differences between them are the functionality and, accordingly, the level of effectiveness.

Before installing a fire alarm in the apartment, it would be nice to understand the varieties of such systems.
Address -an -analogue – practically no shortcomings. She reacts perfectly to all changes, due to which it is possible to reduce expenditure costs. With the help of systems of this type, it is possible to ensure complete safety of housing. However, they are very, very expensive.
Address -subject – represents the optimal ratio of quality and price. Characterized by the stability of the control of the performance of each sensor in the circuit, as well as the high information content of the displayed warnings. Provides an excellent level of fire safety of apartments and private houses. The only famous drawback is a somewhat belated reaction of sensors in the event of an interior elements fire.
Threshold – budget option. In the full sense of the word. He copes with his tasks quite tolerable. In addition to apartments, it is sometimes installed in office and storage facilities. Of the shortcomings, one can note the inability to control the performance of the sensors. True, this is compensated by low cost.
How the sensors are located?
The task of any sensor (regardless of the type of system in which it is included) is the timely detection of the fire, as well as the operational transmission of the alarm signal. Most often, sensors respond to sudden release of heat, smoke, light. In a word, on the signs of a starting fire. To exclude the slightest possibility of false works, you should properly place the sensors on the apartment.
In a room where lighting devices are concentrated in large numbers, you should make sure that direct streams of light, glare and so on do not fall on the sensitive sensor. Temperature sensors do not need to be installed next to heating appliances. It is better for smokers to abandon the smoke sensors immediately.
Regardless of the type of installed sensor, access to it should be fast and simple. Accordingly, placing it behind a hinged ceiling or closing a plasterboard with a plate. Violation of this requirement can lead to the fact that the device will respond to a fire with a very great delay. False works are also possible. For example, a smoke sensor known for its high sensitivity, for ordinary dust.
The price of equipment
It is calculated as the amount of the cost of installing alarm, the commissioning of the commissioning, as well as low-current work. Of course, in each case, the price will have its own.
However, in order to have at least some idea, you can use a special calculator on one of the sites of organizations professionally performing, commissioning and maintenance of alarm systems. The main determining factor in calculation is the total area of the room. For example, the owner of an apartment of 75 “squares” will pay about 38-40 thousand rubles for installing an targeted (radio channel) alarm. The payment for its service will be about 3,800 rubles per month.
