Do you have a brand and model #?

It`s a smoke detector hidden camera uploading video every 24 hours to base.

6 to 10 years is the life for a smoke detector. It could be that the sensor is going out, or in need of cleaning with a can of compressed air. The same time every day thing could be a strange coincidence.

Are you sure it isn’t an alarm clock?

Mean spirited reply.

At least I didn’t post under News/Activism.

Ionic or photoelectric?

I have a relatively new house (built in 2004) and all the detectors are wired into the central alarm console. When one starts chirping, they all start chirping. It’s always fun trying to figure out which one is the one with the low battery.

I have no FM so can’t read it.

I am very close to police and fire though.

Is there another device in the house on a timer? A set back thermostat timed to start your furnace in the moning? A kitchen device? The precise daily repetition says it is external to the detector under consideration.

“I have a case of jock itch lately. Maybe I’ll look for advice on FR.”

“Teaspoon of bleach for 16oz of water. Clean area once a day and try not to get any of it on Mr. Johnson. Itch will go away in 2 days.”

But what about toenail fungus? That’s a really tough nut to crack!

Same time every day?

Sounds like you hit set the self ‘test’ diagnostic function when you changed the battery. Mine runs once a week during the daytime.

Check manufacture instructions for details and resolutions.

Cruex, and then find a personality. Yours is disordered.

Thanks. I’ll have our building manager check that out tomorrow-——he’s the one that changed the batteries for me.

Today he has the holiday off.

It might be the batteries in one of the other detectors.

All the batteries are new,but of course these days that means nothing since most products are inferior when compared to what we used to get.

“Made in China” says it all.
