Optical smoke alarms are more effective at detecting smoldering fires, which produce larger smoke particles. This makes them less likely to be triggered by cooking fumes or steam, reducing false alarms. Additionally, optical smoke alarms are generally more sensitive and provide earlier detection of fires, potentially saving lives and property.
Optical smoke alarms are effective at detecting smoldering fires, providing early warning to occupants. They are less prone to false alarms from cooking or steam, making them reliable for home safety. Additionally, optical smoke alarms are easy to install and maintain, offering peace of mind to homeowners.

No, because store alarms are not metal detectors.
No, because store alarms are not metal detectors.
Optical smoke alarms can be less effective in high-humidity environments, as moisture can cause false alarms or reduce sensitivity. They may also be more prone to dirt and dust accumulation, which can interfere with their operation and require regular maintenance. Additionally, optical alarms can be slower to respond to certain types of fires, such as those involving flames, compared to ionization smoke alarms. Lastly, they tend to be more expensive than traditional smoke alarms.
Nope... Only smoke for smoke detectors!

NAPCO Security manufactures intrusion security keypads and alarms, video surveillance and cameras, fire alarms with fire and carbon monoxide detectors,
Photoelectric smoke alarms are also called optical alarms. They are more expensive than regular alarms. They are also more accurate and less likely to go off unnecessarily.
Cheap and effective when maintained properly. Smoke detectors will run out of battery over time as they are not wired in to the houses electrical system. Statistics show that far fewer people die in house fires when smoke alarms are present. When the smoke alarms are placed to close to bathrooms steam may interfere with the detector, triggering false alarms. Ionization detectors seem to respond better with high flames which could be a problem under certain circumstances.
Photoelectric smoke detectors are advantageous because they are more effective at detecting smoldering fires, they are less prone to false alarms from cooking or steam, and they have a longer lifespan compared to other types of smoke detectors.
Interlinked smoke detectors are smoke detectors wirelessly connected to one another. This is a good system for larger homes, and can be found at http://www.safelincs.co.uk/Radio-Interlinked-Smoke-Alarms/.
