Residential Security Cameras What is Legal?If you are installing a video surveillance system to monitor your home, it can be difficult to place the cameras legally. As a general rule, monitoring someone without their knowledge or consent is illegal when they are in an area that provides a reasonable expectation of privacy. This includes but may not be limited to bathrooms, bedrooms or changing rooms. It may also be illegal to record video or audio in public areas without a sign designating that you are doing so. These laws vary by state, so be sure you're familiar with the laws regarding covert video recording in your state. It is often legal to record someone without their consent if only video is involved; audio recording without a party s knowledge has far more regulations than video under wiretap laws.

It is best to replace smoke detectors every 10 years. Like most devices, the store or company should allow a return policy and issue warranty when buying smoke detectors. Limited warranties range from 2 10 years and return policies are permissible up to 90 days. Smoke detectors must indicate that it has met Underwriters Laboratories UL Standard 217 and carbon dioxide detectors must meet UL Standard 2034. UL conducts certification training on every electrical appliance. Smoke detectors can only alert you if there’s fire. The rest depends on the homeowner’s preparation and other fire prevention safety measures. Equip yourself with fire extinguishers and sprinklers, too, if necessary. Photo Electric or Optical Sensors They are triggered by smoke disturbing an existing beam of light inside the detector. When smoke is not present, the beam from a light source inside the device travels in a straight line to a detector, but when smoke particles enter, some of the light is scattered and triggers the electrical circuit that sounds the alarm. Air Sampling Detectors These have sensors that are capable of detecting microscopic smoke particles in the air.
