The BRK Brands 7010B is a smoke alarm. This unit is popular in hotels and motels. This alarm is the best to use in areas prone to steam, like outside bathrooms or in kitchens. It has a photoelectric sensor which is better to detect fires that are smoldering. It is hardwired to 120 volts but also comes with a 9-volt battery as back-up. The 701B can be linked to 12 other smoke alarms and 6 other devices like bells and repeaters. When one sounds, they all sound that are connected. There is an indicator to let you know which one was the source of the sounding alarm. The unit plugs into the wall. It has a technology, Optipath 360, that reaches the top layer on the ceiling and walls by accessing it from 360 degrees. One of the features that makes it stand out from the rest is that it has a locking feature that is tamper resistant. Also, it comes with a 10 year limited warranty, whereas most have a 5 year limited warranty.
