In addition, the residence guard 10-5 is installed also in the garage 26 built outdoors.

  Here, an example of the system configuration of the residential alarm 10 will be described. Each of the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 has a function of transmitting and receiving event signals wirelessly to each other, and the five home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 constitute one group. The entire house is being monitored for fire. In addition, it is not limited to a wireless type, but may be a wired connection type residential alarm system or a residential alarm system in which wireless communication and wired communication are mixed.

  For example, assuming that a fire has occurred in the child room of the house 24, the residence guard 10-4 detects the fire and starts an alarm. The detection of this fire and the start of an alarm is referred to as “reporting” in the residential alarm 10. When the resident alarm 10-4 is triggered, the resident guard 10-4 functions as a linkage source, and fires are issued to the other burglar alarms 10-1 to 10-3 and 10-5 that are linked destinations. An event signal indicating is transmitted by radio. In the other home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-3 and 10-5, when an event signal indicating a fire alarm is received from the home alarm device 10-4 as the interlock source, the alarm operation as the interlock destination is performed. Do.

  Here, as the alarm sound of the home alarm device 10-4 that is the link source, for example, “Please confirm that the Woo fire alarm has been activated” is continuously output by voice message. On the other hand, in the linked home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-3 and 10-5, a voice message such as “Please confirm that another fire alarm has been activated” is output continuously. . In addition, if the alarm stop switch 20 is operated in the state in which the house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 are emitting an alarm sound, an alarm sound stop process is performed.
