Detect danger before
you even smell smoke

Undetected fires can do serious damage in just a few minutes. The battery-operated Smoke & CO Combo Detector, equipped with photoelectric sensors, keeps you in the clear. If smoke or excessive heat is detected, an alarm will sound, potentially alerting you before you even smell smoke.

Keep your home and the people and pets you love safe
from carbon monoxide. While you can’t see, smell, or
taste this toxic gas, the intuitive Smoke & CO Combo
Detector uses electrochemical sensors that identify the
presence of CO right away, giving you time to take action.

Smarter home, smarter response to alarms

When your Smoke & CO Combo Detector alarm
sounds, your system takes action automatically: 

  • In the event of fire, your HVAC system shuts off to
    slow the spread of flames for elevated fire safety.

  • Doors unlock so family can quickly exit and first
    responders can enter.

Frequently asked smoke and carbon
monoxide detector questions

Are combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors good?

Absolutely. With a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector you get double protection with a device that identifies life-threatening fire and CO. Technologies that work together to identify smoke and CO makes sense, given that carbon monoxide often builds up as a result of fire.

With a combination detector from Vivint you get the added protection that comes with 24/7 Monitoring. Our specialists are ready to respond to an alarm day or night whether you’re away or asleep in bed to ensure the safety of your home and family. See it and our other products in action.

Is it better to have separate smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?

Installing combination smoke and CO detectors is a simple way to streamline the interior of your home without sacrificing safety. Our combo detector is not hardwired, making installation easier. And fewer battery changes are necessary, and one unit requires less space than two separate units—convenient especially for smaller living spaces. Distinct alarms indicate whether smoke or CO is detected to avoid confusion.

Where do you put a combination smoke CO detector?

Placement of your combination smoke and CO detectors is much the same as mounting individual detectors. And because the smoke CO detector is not hardwired, installation is easy. According to the National Fire Protection Association, you should install carbon monoxide and smoke alarms in the following spots:

  • On each level of a multilevel home

  • Near bedrooms and sleeping areas

  • Any other areas required by law

To make sure you’re protected again carbon monoxide, combination detectors should also be mounted in the following locations:

  • Near sources of CO.Place CO detectors 5-20 feet from common sources of carbon monoxide in the home, such as your water heater, furnace, or space heaters. Make sure you don’t place detectors too close to the sources, which could result in false alarms.

  • Near your attached garage. Running vehicles produce carbon monoxide through their exhaust systems. When a car is in motion or idling in an open space, carbon monoxide and other emissions dissipate and are released into the air as pollution. In enclosed spaces like a garage, however, the concentration of CO can quickly reach deadly levels and can seep into your home.

Try to place detectors approximately 6 inches above or below the ceiling. If ceiling mounted, the detector should be positioned at least 6 inches away from the wall. Other things to keep in mind:

  • Smoke and CO detectors should always be 5 to 15 feet away from fuel burning appliances.

  • Nothing should cover or obstruct the detector.

  • Avoid placing detectors next to exterior doors and windows.

Keep in mind that these are minimum requirements. Depending on the size of your home you may need additional detectors.

I really love the products and ingenuity of VIVINT. I love how VIVINT can integrate to make my life more simplistic however, I would like to add that. I think VIVINT should really look into having its own AI built into the system for example where you could say hey VIVINT turn on my lights or hey VIVINT arm my system so on and so forth I think this would be a great feature and you should also bring back being able to integrate Google products or Alexa and other services so that customer can get the full experience of having a SMART HOME system. Other than that I think David is a great company and I really admire the technicians and the hard work that they do.
