What it is
Detectors that can report through your security system
Standalone smoke and CO alarms in the home are still foundational. Integrating compatible detectors with a monitored security system can add a reporting path when devices trip — depending on the equipment and the monitoring plan you choose.
We discuss smoke/heat combinations, dedicated CO detectors, and listener-style options where they fit. We do not invent listings, certifications, or response-time guarantees on this page.

Equipment & careful claims
What we will and will not say
Preferred new-install language leans on compatible eSeries smoke/heat and CO detectors for 2GIG Edge. Extended-range smoke options are Edge-firmware conversations when RF paths demand them. Interconnect behaviors between detector families are model-specific — we do not claim universal interconnect.
Code requirements for smoke and CO placement vary by jurisdiction and construction type. We help with security integration; your quote conversation will note when local code or inspector requirements need a separate check. Certification details and response expectations are confirmed during your quote and local requirements review — not invented on a webpage.

FAQ
Common questions
Do these replace the smoke alarms I already have?
Not automatically. Many homes keep required standalone alarms and add system-integrated detectors for monitoring. We clarify what your plan covers during the quote.
Can you guarantee fire department dispatch?
No website can responsibly guarantee dispatch outcomes. Monitoring plans and signal types are explained when you quote — without invented SLAs.
Will CO detectors work with Edge?
Compatible CO detectors are verified by model for your panel. We prefer current eSeries options for new installs.
Do you list certifications here?
We avoid inventing certification marks on marketing pages. Ask during the quote for the datasheet on the exact model proposed.
