Smoke alarms work by detecting small particles of combustion (smoke) that must travel into the smoke alarm’s sensing chamber before alarming. If those particles cannot or do not find their way into the sensing chamber, it will not alarm.

Eye Detekt, on the other hand, constantly monitors for the presence of flame in your home and works by detecting a narrow band of ultraviolet light produced by the flame. The moment the flame is seen, you’re notified. It’s that simple!

It’s easy. You can test it with both feet safely on the ground using a real flame so you know it’s a realistic test (a lighter works great).

Unlike smoke alarms, dust, insects, and steam have no effect on the performance of Eye Detekt. In fact, we have thousands of hours of testing with no false alarms.

Yes. For many years NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has recommended that smoke alarms be installed inside and outside bedrooms and on every level of the home (even for existing homes). Consult your local codes for more information.

Eye Detekt utilizes an ultraviolet sensor that responds to the ultraviolet light produced by a flame. There is no other residential product on the market today that uses this technology.

Eye Detekt is intended for any indoor space where you never want a flame. Some good examples include bedrooms, bonus rooms, playrooms, and laundry rooms.

There are numerous mounting options. You can decide which fits best for your space, but we’ve designed Eye Detekt with utmost flexibility.

Sitting it on a shelf or bookcase or using the supplied bracket invites additional mounting options. The bracket can be installed on any flat surface horizontally or vertically. It can even be used on an inside corner (where two walls meet) for a vertical mount or, where the ceiling meets the wall for a horizontal mount. Eye Detekt has built-in magnets that allow for a secure connection to the bracket if you choose wall mounting.

Generally, you will achieve a wider field of view in a space when mounted horizontal instead of vertical. Pretend you are looking through the center “Eye” and pick a spot that provides the greatest view of the space.

The best way to know about your coverage is to test Eye Detekt using a real flame. It’s that easy – but make sure you’re careful. A Bic^® lighter or a match works well for this test.

Eye Detekt has approximately a 130-degree field of view and can detect a ¾” flame in less than 2 seconds at around 20 feet away. The larger the flame, the further away Eye Detekt will detect it.

Eye Detekt periodically reports a health status to the cloud and if the sensor malfunctions, you will receive a push notification.

Eye Detekt will still alarm, but you will not receive push notifications.

Currently, there is no UL standard for a residential flame detector.

We’ve cut the cord – the 3 AA included batteries will power Eye Detekt for at least a year. Don’t worry about remembering to replace them though – Eye Detekt will send your smart device a push notification once they need changing and will even speak to you (but not in the middle of the night like smoke alarms often do).

You only need one Eye Detekt per room, but you can certainly install more than one device in the same space to obtain maximum coverage.

Aside from changing the batteries as needed, maintenance is simple. Be sure to keep the center “eye” free of dust and fingerprints and test the unit monthly by simply lighting a match or lighter.

Eye Detekt will be free from defects in material and workmanship or design under normal use and service for a period of one year from the date of purchase. The obligation limited to repairing or replacing the unit or any part which we find to be defective in material, workmanship, or design, free of charge to the customer. This warranty shall not apply to the unit if it has been damaged, modified, abused, or altered after the date of purchase.
