A Professionally Installed Home Security System with Sensors Can Save Lives, Providing Early Detection and Emergency Response

A smart home furnishes you with many luxuries, each allowing you to shape your environment to fit the way you live, work, and play. Your home responds to your unique needs and desires - from lighting that balances circadian rhythms to motorized shades, temperature control, and multi-room audio and video.

A home security system is a vital component of luxury living, no matter where you live. While burglar alarms and surveillance cameras help prevent theft and vandalism and manage access at your doors, the insidious threat of fire can take all of this away in an instant.

Fire’s Considerable Cost

When flames consume a home, the destruction is devastating, leaving you to try and pick up the pieces over weeks or months. The most common causes of house fires are cooking-related, spilled oils, forgotten food on burners, and dirty venting. HVAC malfunctions, electrical failures, and even unattended fireplaces follow this.

More concerning is that the source of flames can smolder unseen for long periods of time, then consume an average room in less than 30 seconds. A study by The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) found that between 2015 and 2020, there were 360,000 private home fires resulting in 3,500 deaths and just over $7 billion in property damage.

Protect Proactively

Once a fire spreads, it can surround individuals before they can flee, consuming the usable oxygen in a flash. To proactively protect the people and property you love, you need a professionally installed and comprehensive security system.

At Bob’s Smart Home, we install systems that incorporate multiple levels of sensing and response. By combining localized detectors, AI-enabled alerts, and a certified design and support team, we ensure any trouble is identified early. Rather than rely on only standard thermal, ionization, and optical methods, we add highly sensitive aspirating smoke detectors (ASDs) to uncover the signs of combustion a thousand times more efficiently. In addition, when tied into your home automation platform, the system can shut off the HVAC, close off air handlers to prevent smoke spreading, trip breakers, and initiate a fire suppression system.

Our remote monitoring service incorporates artificial intelligence to reduce false alarms and missed alerts. In addition to generating signals for human verification, the system indicates potential outbreaks by monitoring the home system status. The result is a quick call to first responders and less damage from the fire.
