I usually just use test spray to test my smoke alarms, but a fog machine works as well (I have 2 since I do an annual Halloween display every year). Would be cool to see more videos on that security system, though I understand if that’s not possible. Was always curious as to what siren that was in the basement, it’s the same one I have on my room system.
I enjoyed the video, just a word of advice if you can try using a hair dryer or a heat gun to test the heat detectors also heat detectors have a 15 year life span according to the NFPA.
Nice walkthrough! Just a quick safety tip for next time, use a stick lighter for testing heat detectors cuz if you leave one of those little Bic lighters on for too long you'll burn yourself.
@@thomaswilkins8168 Most hair dryers are not hot enough to set off heat detectors as they are usually set to activate at 60-70°C. There is something similar called a heat gun which is just like a hair dryer, but the forced air is a lot hotter.
I thought it was cool how you used a fog machine to set off your smoke alarms. I’m too afraid to do that in my house. Although I do have smoke spray cans I use instead on them. I have one of those COPE-IC’s outside my laundry room that goes off all the time along with the others in my house
Awesome mix of tests! I really like the Ademco code 3, for fire. Same with the other interior sounder, which I like more.
My house has First Alert slim smoke detectors and they’re standalone. My house is built in 1982 and doesn’t have interconnected devices.

That’s cool to do! My family would get pissed off if I did that.
Heh mine too
Same here lol

Or you could just use a hair dryer

I use the hairdryer to test the heat alarms.
2:25 My state (ND) only recently started requiring heat alarms in the garage. My house is from 2012 and there are no alarms in the garage.
Good requirement
Is your security system monitored
Nope

Just tested my smoke detectors earlier today before this video came out.
Awesome video! How do you make sure the Fire Department doesn't respond to your house with all of this?
Thanks. Fire departments are not summoned by residential smokes
How many smoke alarm? 😊
Has te fire department ever show up at your house? Might be that neighbors call them with all those sirens.
They have never
How often do you test your alarms?
Usually yearly like this
“Fire”
Is what the smoke alarms say I think it is interesting
Hi!! How can I get in touch with you for a potential collaboration? Thank you.
You can send me an email at firealarmdude5967@gmail.com

where did you get the fog machine?
Found it at a local dump
@@FireAlarmDude5967eliminator fog machine right?
Nice
Verisure tests it👍👍👍
Cool
Can I do a system request
Sure but it may not be granted
A part of the system is old and a part of the system is new.
