This system, also made by Fire Sentry, uses cameras to distinguish the characteristic wisps of smoke, and alerts the facility.

Fire Alarm Test
This is my first test of my alarm on conduit and hooked up. This includes a Wheelock alarm with a modified horn, and a Fire-Lite BG-12 Dual-Action manual pull station connected to a 24V transformer.
Invisible Smoke Detector
The Art of Invisible Smoke Detection.
For high-end installations, particularly where a conventional smoke detector would disrupt the flow and design of a room, the Invisible detector discreetly does its job.

Smoke detector History
The first electric automatic fire alarm was invented in 1890 by Francis Upton and Fernando J. Robbins Dibble, (U.S. patent no. 436961). Upton was an associate of Thomas Edison, although there is no evidence that Edison has contributed to this project.
It is widely disseminated false information that the first electric fire alarm was patented in 1902 by George Andrew Darby, as it falls 10 years after the real first fire alarm was invented. It is a pleasure (and apparently unconfirmable) anecdote about the device Darby. Apparently, it indicated a temperature increase by closing an electric circuit to sound an alarm if the temperature has risen above the limit. The contact was made by filling a gap with a conductor or a plate which allows falling on another. The connection of the two plates was caused by a simple block of butter melted as the temperature rose.
While home smoke detectors were available for most of the years 1960, the price of these devices is fairly high (before that, alarms were so expensive that only large theaters and businesses could afford). The first true "affordable" home smoke detectors have been invented by Duane D. Pearsall in 1967. If this was not the first smoke detector, it was the first to feature individual battery units that could be easily installed and replaced. Although generally attributed to NASA, smoke detectors were not invented as a result of the space program, but a variant with adjustable sensitivity has been developed for Skylab.

Smoke Detector Test
A smoke detector or smoke alarm is a device that detects smoke and issues an alarm to alert nearby people that there is a potential fire.
A household smoke detector will typically be mounted in a disk-shaped plastic enclosure about 150 mm in diameter and 25 mm thick, but the shape can vary by manufacturer.
Smoke Detector Test
100% biomass pellets by NewEarth Renewable Energy, Inc. (patent pending), burn without emitting smoke, as demonstrated here with a smoke detector, set off by a smoldering match, but not by the burning pellet.
