Ghana has been facing devastating fire outbreaks which sometimes lead to loss of lives, destruction of property and severe ...

However, it requires a hardwired connection. All smoke detectors use one of two types of sensors to detect fires. Ionization-type sensors are best at detecting fast-burning fires, while ...

Installing and maintaining smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors can save your life. Fortunately, they’re inexpensive and easy to put in place. Basic smoke detectors cost as little as $15 and ...

it’s everything you need to build an Internet-connected smoke alarm. Smoke alarms, or at least ionization-based alarms with a tiny amount of radioactive americium, are very simple devices.

Through my testing, I found the Kidde smoke detector to be better performer when it comes to fast detection. It has both sensor types: Ionization and photoelectric which is why it was bale to ...

They can save your life, or go off when nothing's wrong. Here's what to do if your smoke alarm is giving you fits.

It’s widely known that a smoke detector is a good ionizing radiation source, as they contain a small amount of americium-241, a side product of nuclear reactors. But what about other sources?
