Equipment for Home Safety
| Bogus Caller Button |
This alarm provides reassurance to vulnerable people living alone in the event of an unexpected caller. It is also ideal for individuals in a domestic violence situation or people suffering hate crime. |

| Carbon Monoxide Detector (CO) |
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is produced when domestic fuels such as gas, coal, wood and charcoal are burned without sufficient ventilation. This sensor alerts to a build up of Carbon Monoxide (CO) in the
property. |

| Gas detector with shut-off valve |
These sensors are connected to a gas appliance and will raise an alarm if the appliance is turned on and left unlit. The system will detect a build up of gas and shut the gas off on the appliance.
