The detection chamber is sized for the photodiode, not for packaging. This means the optical path is precisely calibrated for early smoke detection — reducing the time between ignition and alarm activation.
A proprietary fire detection algorithm with analogue system-level precision. Developed in-house and tuned for the CORE chamber — not adapted from a generic alarm platform.
Every internal component is specified for long-term performance at the 78mm scale. Selected for thermal stability and consistent signal output across the full 10-year service life.
Two levels of mesh screening and humidity protection reduce nuisance alarms — important in Australian coastal, tropical, and high-humidity environments where standard alarms often false-trigger.

One smoke alarm is rarely enough. The Wireless Family alarms communicate via radio frequency. When any alarm triggers — smoke or heat — every alarm in the home sounds simultaneously. No wiring. No panels. No installation fees for battery models. Up to 12 alarms per network. Mix smoke and heat alarms. Mix battery and mains-powered models. The system works as one.
Yes. All CAVIUS smoke alarms comply with Australian Standard AS 3786:2014, the national standard for smoke and heat alarms. This compliance is required for all alarms sold for residential use in Australia.
