- This is my first time writing a script. I may have been a little inaccurate on some of the things I mentioned here but the history is not really important in this video. In this video I talk about various models of smoke alarms specifically more well known ones and categorize them in 5 different categories. Those being common, uncommon, rare, ultra rare, and nearly extinct. I hope I did a good job lol. Let me know in comments what you thought of the video. If you guys find this enjoyable, I’ll make more videos like this.
I did use other people’s images and work like the random MrBeast image later in the video lol… so all credits given to: (@ symbol means Instagram account)

lots of valid information here. One thing I'd mention is the Dong Bang DB-SSA-77A, which is probably the rarest battery operated model to exist.
This is by far one of your greatest videos of all time. So much hard work put in!
This is a really good video. It will definitely help out newer collectors and for deciding rarity’s on alarms. Good job, keep up the good work!
Thank you
Very nice video! It's cool to see that you had the odds of using a script. You did good in this video and I do agree with a lot of your picks.
is no one gonna talk about the image near the end of the video of a dude pressing on the center of the 86rac but not the actual test button?
The fact you added like a star as thr ss718 music earns you a like.
Now i know what to collect now,
Thx for saying all the old alarms that are rare.
very detailed video
Nortron TR77 or TRBB at 0:36. I would love to know where that was. Somewhere in Canada likely. If found in the US that would be extrremely rare. I have yet to see one pop up on Ebay as I got my TR88 new and never used in box at a second hand shop. I will say one thing I am all for the vintage 1970s detectors. Ones of today don't even compare. Very cool video as well!!
That norton... the address was above the screen lol. Thank you
Also very descriptive. You rocked this video. You should do more stuff like this
Vintage collectors shouldn’t destroy modern smoke alarms. I know they look cool and all but if you bought the alarm just to smash it, then that’s wasting your money! 😠
Lol
That sears that was worth 100 dollars starting bid gives me an aneurysm.
7:31 i’m gonna be getting one of these
Interesting video! I've happened to have come across some rare units myself. My house used to have 2 FX104 alarms. Those suckers were 30 years old and STILL worked, but one had a busted test button. Both were replaced. I regret throwing them away now, as they were cool and still loud as hell. There was also a BRK FACO carbon monoxide alarm too, unfortunately the battery drawer broke, so we had to toss it(wish i kept it though).
Also, my grandparents used to have to have a sears "early one" 9-57002 smoke alarm, which to my knowledge are VERY RARE. Wish i got it from them, really kicking myself for that.
bruhhh lol. Yea 9-57002’s are probably in the Ultra Rare category in my terms. FX1014’s are also pretty rare too.
@@Photoelectric_Elevators seems like i wasn't far off. Also i didn't think the FX104s were that rare, but thinking back, I only remember seeing maybe 4 besides my old ones lol.
I own an unbranded DT-100 Carbon Monoxide alarm from my NEIGHBORS HOUSE who has a first gen SA67D, a bunch of Detech alarms, and 2 Kidde 0914s from 1998 and a Family Gard
Brilliant video! I did really enjoy this, and have learned quite alot more about rarety of smoke alarms and was also very descriptive. I do own a quite alot of alarms myself within my own collection like for example the FireX FADC230, Family Gard, and a First Alert SA150CEGN but as a UK collector getting hold of these rare alarms are alot more harder to get hold due to a fair amount being non-existent here and also very expensive shipping prices for ones in the states. While alarms in the 'ultra rare' category are basically impossible to get unless if I'm willing to pay more than £100 in shipping to get one here 😂 Even so keep up the good work and I'd love to see more videos like this in the future! :)
We have a Nortron rebrand of a FireX FX1218 type or style installed in our basement on the original hardwire system, it doesn't work anymore which is sad.. but I've never seen another like it, it has a brass squealer too
Oh cool! I love those FireX type rebrands. I think they're FXW-1 or FXB-1 rebrands
I’m a commercial fire alarm enthusiast and I also enjoy both vintage and modern. I am also into security, home alarms, emergency lights, fire suppression(agent systems, sprinklers, extinguishers, and hydrants), just not nearly as much.
Great vid! However, I do not believe TC49As started fires, on the picture, notice how the grey stuff is only near the sensor.
It's just dust sticking to the wall due to the higher amount of radiation, the early Honeywell detectors had a much larger amount of Americium.
I didn't believe that either. That's why I stated that with question...
Very well said and informative. As a beginner in the community, this video will definitely help me with my future acquisitions.
And yes while I’m mainly in the Vintage community I do appreciate the modern units, at least the less common ones and the ones not hated by everyone like the 900🤤⬛️⬛️⬛️.
Kidde nowadays suck with all the horrible units and recalls. First Alert never did us that dirty. Even X-Sense and Siterwell are not as bad when you include their entire lineup.
10:41 ah ha ha ha photo bomb of a Bosch. Uh….. D7050?
3:56 11:58 pov when you actually find a nearly extinct smoke alarm (brk ss74r) 6:51 what the fluff is that background music!?
modern simplified logos make everything ugly tbh, btw great video keep it up
I actually have the brk 1769ACI in my house I have been trying figure out what the hell it is thanks
I do have 2 BRK 83R smoke detectors (they were made in 2002
I’m surprised the BRK CO5120B CO alarm was listed in the ultra rare category at the 9:30 time mark instead of the nearly extinct stuff. The only one of those I have seen other than in this video is the one I have in my collection lol
My grandmother has a 6 bed 3 bath house and every room except bathrooms and they had smoke sirens in them
…but they are replacing them next week with the [PLEasE sEe MaNUels]
so like first alert?
What is a good smoke alarm server
Actually the Prototype 350 is actually made by Norelco!
Those I found out a while ago. When Adam found it he saw a document of one that had Dicon. I did not catch the Norelco models yet when I made this video along with a lot of other models like the Dong Bang, Hochiki, Ademco, etc.
Did anyone catch Roxy flooring it at the end of this video? Because I did
I'd figure you'd use one of my tynix songs lol
well they really good…
i found an ESL 906 with a brown base. i dont know if its painted but i dont think so because the front is still white.
How rare is an FADC without ramp up test?
Does anybody know if the EMDEKO heat detection device is uncommon or not
How rare would the kidde home hero and the kidde rf-snd be?
Homehero's are ultra rare
RF-SND's are nearly extinct
Hi! I am asking for assistance identifying an alarm which I believe may hold some rarity- it looks IDENTICAL to the masterguard fire alarm- (There is one shown on S.E.R Safety that is the master guard one) the only difference is that on the sticker, it has a logo that says "Responsive" (the logo is in orange and the "o" is in the shape of the earth) its from 1988- do you have any clue why it has a different logo or anything about it? I cannot find a single trace of the brand "responsive" existing anywhere on the internet.
Sounds like some rebrand of an Masterguard MGB-380. May hold a decent level of rarity.
@@Photoelectric_Elevators Oh, cool.
are nutone s-180s considered rare??
Sa150lt? Easy to find? I have not seen one on eBay for my whole life. Until last month. I snatched it up before anyone else could grab it.
ebay is a lot different. 86RAC's are most impossible. SA150LT's pop up every so often. Also golden test button right?
@@Photoelectric_Elevators yeah
There's a smokegard 907a2 at my grandmas friends house I'm gonna remove
Can I call dibs on it?
@@Photoelectric_Elevators I'm not sure if I'm gonna sell it or keep it I'm considering keep it sorry
@@firealarm2903_ Of course
what's the rarity of my Kidde i9040
We used to have a 8201-301
Hearing that smoke alarm go off hurt my ears and I would usually go outside if it went off
Is my ten-tek il930 rare
Hmm. I'm not familiar with that model. It may be.
@@Photoelectric_Elevators it’s a Dicon rebrand
Please see manual 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
