Smoke & Motion Detector
VMI Direct sells smoke detectors and motion sensors in the Philippines from ₱339, including battery-powered Daytech photoelectric smoke alarms with 10-year batteries and WiFi motion sensors that send alerts to your phone.
What to check before you buy
- Battery life and low-battery alerts: A detector that's silently dead defeats the purpose. Look for a clear low-battery chirp, or a sealed 10-year battery like the SM06TA.
- Standalone or connected: Standalone detectors sound and flash on their own. Wireless models like the SM02 can link to a Daytech alarm panel for phone, call and SMS alerts.
- Placement: Smoke detectors go on the ceiling outside bedrooms and on each floor, not inside kitchens or bathrooms. Motion sensors work best covering hallways and entry paths.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a smoke detector in the Philippines?
At VMI Direct, Daytech photoelectric smoke detectors cost ₱339 to ₱649. The ₱535 SM06TA has a sealed 10-year battery, and the ₱649 SM20 sends a wireless alert signal when it senses smoke.
Do these smoke detectors work during a brownout?
Yes. Every smoke detector we stock runs on its own battery, so it keeps protecting you through brownouts. The SM21 runs over 2 years on a 9V battery, and the SM06TA has a sealed 10-year lithium battery.
Where should I put a smoke detector at home?
On the ceiling outside every sleeping area and on each floor, including the stair landing. Keep detectors out of kitchens and bathrooms, where cooking smoke and steam cause false alarms, and away from aircon vents.
What is a photoelectric smoke detector?
It shines infrared light inside a shielded chamber. Smoke particles reflect that light onto a sensor and trigger the alarm. It reacts quickly to visible smoke from smoldering fires, such as overheating wiring or a cigarette.
Can a motion sensor send alerts to my phone?
Yes. The ₱669 Daytech TY-PIR15 connects to WiFi and pushes alerts through the Smart Life or Tuya app with no hub. The HW03 and HW06 instead chime a receiver up to 500 ft away, with no WiFi.
How do I test a smoke detector?
Press the test button once a month; the alarm should sound and the LED flash. Replace the battery as soon as it chirps, and vacuum dust off the vents every few months to prevent false alarms.
Is there warranty support in the Philippines?
Yes. Daytech products bought from VMI Direct carry a 1-year warranty handled locally, with nationwide shipping. Keep your order details so our team can process a warranty claim quickly if needed.
