For minimum protection, install a smoke detector outside of each bedroom or sleeping area in your home.
Keep your bedroom doors closed while you are asleep. Better, install detectors on every level of your home.
Keep your smoke detectors properly maintained. Test them once a week to ensure that the detectors are working properly.
Every Fall & Spring when you change your clocks, remember to change your smoke alarm batteries. Use only the type of batteries recommended on the detector.

What Should a Security Alarm System Include?
Most systems rely on a combination of contacts placed at doors and windows and motion sensors. Motion sensors, however, do not detect someone until they are already in the house. Motion sensors should NOT be used as the primary means of detection. It is best that all exterior potential points of entry have contacts that sense when they are open. Glass break sensors are also available and recommended.
The basic elements of a standard home security system include:
Control Panel: This is the location where the system wiring terminates,
Keypad: This is where the system is armed and disarmed. Additional keypads can be installed. For example, a keypad can be installed next to the homeowner's bed. If the alarm sounds in the middle of the night and the security system had the capability, the keypad display could indicate which door, window, or motion detector caused the alarm.
Inside Motion Detector: Passive infrared, microwave, or photoelectric detectors sense changes in a room caused by human presence. Special motion detectors are available for people who have pets.
Door and Window Contacts: Magnetic contacts form a circuit between a door and doorframe or a window and a sill; when the door or window is opened (and the system is on), the circuit is broken and sounds the alarm.
