What fire alarms would you put in your house or dream house?

My current and real system

Here is my home alarm system. We built the house when I was pretty young but there is not much more that I would ever want in a house so I would have to say I am living in my dream home, alarm system aside I love where I live! Initially there was a conventional multi-zone FireLite sensiscan 2000 but I have upgraded the system completely. Questions? Ask away!

The system consists of
Qty Device

  1. MS-9200UD (Fire-Lite addressable control panel)

  2. 25/50X (Fire-Lite voice evacuation control)

  3. SP2W2415 (System Sensor speaker/strobe white)

  4. SP201W (System Sensor speaker white)

  5. RSS-2415W-FW (Wheelock remote strobe white)

  6. Wheelock White HSW

  7. Wheelock MIZ-24S-W

  8. SD355T (Addressable Smoke/heat detector) (Some have sounder bases, to eliminate the need for a separate sounder)

  9. H355 (Addressable heat detector)

  10. D355PL (Addressable duct detectors)

  11. BG-12LX (Addressable Pull station)

  12. BEAM355 (Beam type detectors)

  13. LCD-80F (LCD annunciator)

  14. Control, Monitor, and Relay modules (assorted types)

  • Used for Sprinkler flow, tamper, hvac shutdown, secondary device monitoring, and other assorted things.

The lack of pull stations are because they are not required by the LAHJ. This is just a very large home, not a business.

Pulls are located only in the basement, service kitchen, and by the private “service and delivery” entrance which would not be used by guests.

System is monitored by both a private alarm company using both conventional phone line as well as a cellular transmitter. Monitoring is backed up by a town monitored radio box.

There are devices I missed or miscounted I just based this off my documentation and did a count off the top of my head. I did a handful of updating and changes to it over the summer after some work was done around the house.

I like my work and the system to be as low profile, and as invisible as I can make it.
