A heat alarm responds to temperature increases, while a smoke alarm detects smoke particles. Heat alarms are ideal for areas where smoke alarms might be triggered by cooking fumes or dust.

Install the Ei3014 in areas prone to rapid temperature increases but less likely to have significant smoke, such as kitchens, garages, and boiler rooms. Avoid installing it near vents, fans, or windows.

Test your alarm weekly by pressing the test button to ensure it is functioning correctly.

The Ei3014 Heat Alarm usually has a lifespan of around 10 years. Check the manufacturing date and replace the unit as recommended.

Installing a CCTV system can deter criminal activity, provide evidence in the event of a crime, and enhance overall home security.

High-definition (HD) video quality, night vision, motion detection, remote access via smartphone or computer, wide-angle lens, weatherproofing for outdoor cameras, and storage options (cloud or local).

Key entry points (front and back doors), ground-floor windows, driveways, garages, and other vulnerable areas such as side entrances.

No permission is required for installing CCTV on your own property. However, if your cameras cover areas outside your property boundary, such as public streets or neighbours’ properties, you must comply with data protection laws.

If your CCTV system captures footage outside your property boundary, you must put up signs indicating CCTV is in use, ensure footage is not misused, and comply with the Data Protection Act. Respect the privacy of your neighbours and ensure cameras are not intrusive.
