How do I get smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alerts?

Smart Sound Recognition uses an advanced algorithm that recognizes the unique sound patterns of smoke alarms and CO monitors. With Smart Sound Recognitions turned on, alarms will generate a 12-second Event Video and send a push notification to your phone so that you can act quickly.

For smoke alarms, the camera listens for the Temporal-Three (T3) alarm signal, which produces 3 long beeps followed by a pause.

For carbon monoxide alarms, the camera listens for the T4 alarm signal which produces 4 long beeps followed by a pause.

Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms manufactured starting in 1996 have followed this standard set by the American National Standards Institute and National Fire Protection Association. The majority of alarms installed before 1996 produced a steady continuous sound.
