Abstract

A wireless fire detection and door bell system includes a smoke detector having a first transmitter; a door bell button having a second transmitter and a chime providing two different audio signals in response to the first and second transmitters respectively.

Claims

1. A wireless fire detection and door bell system comprising:

a wireless smoke detector having a first transmitter and a replaceable power source;

a wireless door bell having a button and a second transmitter activated by depressing the button, the door bell including a second replaceable power source; and

a chime having a receiver and means for producing a first audio signal in response to the first transmitter and a second audio signal in response to the second transmitter.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the wireless smoke detector includes an onboard alarm that provides a third audio signal.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the third audio signal is different than the first and second audio signals.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the chime is portable.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the chime is programmable to play different audio signals.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the chime receiver has means to receive a signal transmitted on a signal different than the first and second signals.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the smoke detector includes an onborad alarm.

9. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the onboard alarm produces an audio signal different than the first and second signals.

10. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein the chime is portable.

11. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the chime is programmable to play different audio signals.

12. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the chime receiver has means to receive a third signal transmitted from a third transmitter.

7. A security kit for sale in a retail outlet comprising:

a wireless smoke detector having a transmitter with a first frequency;

a wireless door bell having a second transmitter with a second frequency different than the first frequency;

a chime having a receiver and means for producing a first signal in response to the first transmitter and a second different signal in response to the second transmitter; and

fasteners for securing the wireless smoke detector and wireless door bell to a building.

13. A method of providing a security kit for sale in a retail outlet to a consumer:

providing a first smoke detector having a first wireless transmitter transmitting a first signal;

providing a door bell button having a second wireless transmitter transmitting a second signal different than the first signal; and

providing an alarm with a receiver configured to receive the first and second signals from the first and second transmitters and to provide a distinct audio signal in response to the first and second transmitters respectively.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein, the first and second signals are transmitted on the same frequency.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the first and second signals are transmitted on different frequencies.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein at least one of the signals is transmitted at a frequency of 315 Mhz.

17. The method of claim 14 further including the step of providing a second door bell button having a transmitter transmitting a signal different than the first signal.

19. The method of claim 13, further including programming the alarm to selectively provide different audio signals by the consumer.

18. The apparatus of claim, further including providing a light providing fasteners to secure the smoke detector and door bell button to a structure.
