Experimental Study on the Performance of an Enhanced Smoke Detector

Abstract

Fire accidents continue to pose significant risks to households, schools, and communities, making early detection essential for minimizing damage and saving lives. This study introduces an enhanced prototype smoke detector designed to integrate multiple sensing capabilities—smoke, gas, and fire detection—into a single unit. The system is equipped with LED indicators and sound alarms, providing both visual and auditory alerts to ensure timely awareness. By combining these features, the prototype offers a more affordable and comprehensive safety solution compared to conventional single-sensor devices.
