What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This ceiling-mounted smoke detector transmits a wireless radio signal to Bellman Visit system receivers when smoke is detected, triggering alerts through flashing lights, loud tones, and bed shakers. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing who may not reliably hear a standard smoke alarm — particularly those who sleep deeply or use hearing aids that come out at night. This is a transmitter only, not a complete safety system; you'll need at least one Bellman Visit receiver (sold separately) to actually receive the alerts, and a bed shaker if you want vibration notification during sleep. One practical note: the 98-foot radio range works well in most homes, but thick walls or multi-story layouts may reduce reliability, so placement and testing matter.

- Test the full alert chain — smoke detection, radio signal, and receiver response — to confirm reliable coverage in your specific space.
