What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 7, 2026
This bundle combines a smoke/fire detector with a bright-flash receiver and a bed shaker vibrator to alert people who are deaf or hard of hearing to smoke and fire emergencies. When the detector triggers, the flash receiver strobes visibly and the bed shaker produces strong vibrations — covering people who are asleep or in a room where they might miss an audible alarm entirely. Everything needed is in the box: detector, flash receiver, and bed shaker. No Wi-Fi, no app pairing, and no professional installation required — the system is designed to work immediately after a straightforward plug-in setup. The tradeoff is coverage: this kit protects one room or sleeping area, so larger homes or multi-story layouts will need additional receivers or detectors purchased separately. It's also compatible with the broader Bellman Alerting System if you want to expand later.
