Interconnected Smoke Alarms versus Standalone Smoke Alarms

Interconnected smoke alarms are smoke detection devices that communicate with each other. All devices that are interconnected sound an alarm when one or more alarms are triggered by smoke. Standalone smoke alarms operate individually, so only one smoke alarm is triggered and sounds when it is affected by smoke. Interconnected smoke alarms are safer than stand-alone smoke alarms because alarms sound all through the house, alerting all occupants about danger sooner.
