Koduhäire

Koduhäire is an Estonian term that translates to "home alarm" or "household alarm." It refers to any system or device designed to detect and alert occupants or authorities to potential dangers within a residential property. These alarms are primarily installed to enhance security and safety.

Common types of koduhäire systems include smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and security alarm systems. Smoke detectors are crucial for early detection of fires, emitting a loud audible signal to wake residents and allow for timely evacuation. Carbon monoxide detectors warn of the presence of this odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas, often produced by faulty heating appliances. Security alarm systems typically involve sensors on doors and windows, motion detectors, and a central control panel that can alert a monitoring service or directly notify the homeowner and/or police in case of a break-in.

The primary purpose of a koduhäire is to provide peace of mind and protection against various household hazards. Modern systems can often be integrated with smart home technology, allowing for remote monitoring and control via smartphones. The installation and maintenance of these systems are considered important measures for safeguarding individuals and property.
