Heat and Temperature Detector

Smart heat detection – wireless, reliable, and designed for safer independent living

The Possum Heat Detector monitors rapid rises in temperature, providing early warning of fire risk without the false alarms common with smoke detectors. Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and environments where steam or smoke may trigger unwanted alerts, this sensor sends a wireless signal to a Novo Carephone or Info Pager, ensuring immediate response. Integrated with telecare systems, it can escalate alerts to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), which can contact emergency services on the user’s behalf.
