Alerting devices work by detecting specific conditions such as smoke, carbon monoxide, or unauthorized entry, and then triggering an alarm or notification. These devices often use sensors, such as heat, motion, or chemical detectors, to monitor their environment. When the sensors detect a potential threat, they activate an alert mechanism, which can include sound, light, or sending notifications to your phone or security service.
