This underscores the need for multiple smoke detectors in several places in your home.

Other smart smoke alarms have more traditional warranties that last only a couple years. This smoke detector also has a carbon monoxide sensor to further improve the safety of your home. If it detects a problem, you'll get three alerts: a loud tone, voice alerts and a mobile notification to help you respond to the situation accordingly. We found this unit easy to set up and connect to Wi Fi. First Alert has also created a standalone mobile app for this smoke detector that lets you test, control and monitor the battery. Unfortunately, it's not available for this product on Android devices, so you need an iPhone or iPad to use the app. Aside from HomeKit, this product doesn't work with any other smart home systems.

Some cameras were loud but the audio was distorted, while others cameras lacked distortion but were too quiet, making it harder to hear activity. The Foscam C2 was the only camera we tested with no audio distortion. Built in speakers on each camera we tested, except the Y cam Indoor HDS, let you use the mobile app to talk to anyone near the camera. Ease of UseTo test ease of use, we tracked setup issues and whether we had to contact customer support. Cameras that quickly connected to Wi Fi and had simple setup steps scored well. The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro had the easiest installation. Next, we looked for useful smartphone apps that show recordings, live streaming and basic settings on the first screen you see. The apps from Oco and D Link were the easiest to use. ConnectionOur final test evaluated the Wi Fi connection. To do this, we connected each camera to our Wi Fi network along with a video streaming service and a smartphone. If a camera had connection problems, while the other devices and the router still worked, we deducted points accordingly.
