It is quickly becoming the standard, but I have seen many houses that do not connect their fire alarm system into their sercurity system.

And, the NRC says that it would take over 10,000 ion smoke detectors to make a dirty bomb.! :shock:

What does the "other unknown model" look like? A good description is key here, picture preferred.

in our apt we have the smoke detectors + 2 pull stations + 3 FCI alarms in the hallways + 1 heat detector in the laundry room.

in our individual apt the only component that is connected to da fire alarm 5ystem is on lone heat dectector.
in each apt there is three smoke detectors that are connected to each other so when one goes off they all go off but in the heat detector hasn't set the alarm off you do.

Heat detector? I've heard of Smoke detectors, but what exactly is the purpose of a heat detector?
Is this really what it sounds like?

A heat detector's purpose is its name. It detects heat in a place where smoke might be pulled somewhere else such as an air duct. However System Sensor has "air duct detectors". Heat detectors are commonly found in smoke detectors now, though they are hard to spot.
They are also used in places like garages, kitchens, places with the potential for false alarms in a traditional smoke alarm.

The heat detector is supposidly designed for warehouses were it aint heated in the winter, if a fire broke out they would trigger an alarm the ones in my place say

"HEAT DETECTOR
NOT A LIFE SAVING DEVICE"

but they are in the apt around here

Touching on the subject of radioactivity, there is a small amount of material in the mantles of camping lanterns ( Primarily Coleman brand, and I believe it is Thorium). Supposedly the newer Aladdin brand does not. Anywho, a generic lightning detector can be built with the burnt mantle material. Check this out:
