Overview

BRK Electronics lists the PR700B as a photoelectric, battery-operated smoke detector. The title is abbreviated, and nothing further is given about size, battery or mounting.

Photoelectric sensing and battery power mean no wiring to run, so it can go where a cable is awkward. The limitation is the near-empty data: the battery, the alarm sound and any approvals are not described.

Who it's for

Renters and homeowners adding a simple alarm to a bedroom or hallway can start here, once they confirm the battery type with the seller. Buyers who need voice alerts, interconnection or hardwired power must look at other models.

Performance notes
