smoke detector
Ceiling-mounted safety sensor
A smoke detector is a device that senses the presence of smoke in the air and sounds an alarm to warn of possible fire.
Most homes and commercial buildings are required by code to have them installed, typically on ceilings or high on walls where smoke naturally rises.
The smoke detector started beeping because the battery was low.
Smoke detectors may use ionization technology, photoelectric sensors, or both to detect smoke particles.
