Perhaps I am on a smoke alarm kick but today’s Gizmo of the Day is a vocal smoke alarm. This is a great idea for families with smaller children in the horrible case that you have a house fire.
The Vocal Smoke Alarm allows you to record your child’s name as well as using the standard alarm tone and bright light flashes sending out three different triggers. In addition to your child’s name you can issue instructions about leaving the house and gathering outside in the event of a fire as well as standard safety messages like covering your face if smoke is present and not to open hot doors.
The KidSmartâ„¢ Vocal Smoke Alarm lets you record a message specific to your child. While a child might sleep through a high-pitched alarm, hearing his own name spoken loudly by his parent is a more likely trigger to awaken him. Since the Vocal Smoke Alarm includes an alarm tone, a vocal message, and a bright light ring that illuminates during drills and in case of an alarm, your child is three times more likely to respond.
Recording your message is easy on the Vocal Smoke Alarm. In addition to repeating your child’s name, you can issue instructions about leaving the home in the event of a fire, reminding your child not to open a hot door or to cover his face if smoke is present. There’s even a fire drill button on the Vocal Smoke Alarm so that you and your family can practice exiting the home as you would in the event of a real fire.
The Vocal Smoke Alarm is a battery-operated photoelectric smoke detector, which excels in detecting slow, smoldering fires. These fires produce a substantial amount of smoke before bursting into flame.
