Mountain Home · SampleAcknowledgeExample alertWhy it matters
Traditional smoke detectors cannot reach a remote owner
A local siren is essential for occupants, but it cannot call you when the property is vacant. By the time a neighbor notices, the event may already be severe.
Make critical feel critical
Use the CHIRP Alerts mobile experience for persistent, acknowledged alarms.
Reduce routine visits
Choose a documented low-maintenance detector and check its stated battery life before buying.
From alert to outcome
Add remote smoke detector alerts to the response
Connect the smoke or fire signal to CHIRP and send a full-screen critical mobile alert, email, or escalation. A trusted nearby person can be included for only the property they support.

Keep the onsite alarm—and add the alert that reaches you

CHIRP does not replace code-compliant smoke alarms, professional fire systems, emergency services, maintenance, or evacuation planning.
