When it comes to building safety, fire alarm systems are one of the top priorities for investors, property managers, and factory owners. However, with so many options on the market, finding truly high-quality fire alarm devices—those that are durable, reliable, and reasonably priced—can be a real challenge.
Many people often wonder: Should I go for domestic or imported products? Which smoke detectors are sensitive yet resistant to false alarms? Which control panels are user-friendly and scalable for future expansion?
If you’re also looking for answers, this article by Bao Tin Steel will provide helpful insights and suggestions to save you time and help you make informed decisions. We’ll explore key selection criteria and highlight some of the most highly rated fire alarm devices available today, suitable for a wide range of projects, from residential homes and office buildings to large-scale industrial facilities.
Criteria for Choosing High-Quality Fire Alarm Devices
Not all fire alarm devices are created equal. Some are designed for residential environments, while others are specialised for industrial settings. Some products may look impressive on the outside but tend to fail quickly in real-world use. To ensure both safety and cost-effectiveness, here are five key criteria you should consider:

Meet international quality standards
- Prioritise devices with reputable certifications such as UL (USA), EN54 (Europe), or at least TCVN (Vietnam).
Clear Brand Identity & Transparent Origin
- Choose products from well-established and reputable brands such as Hochiki (Japan), Horing (Taiwan), GST (China), Siemens (Germany), and Edwards (USA) to ensure durability, compatibility, and reliable customer support policies.
Stable operation – limited false alarms
- One of the biggest annoyances is false alarms, which cause confusion and reduce vigilance. High-quality fire alarm devices are often equipped with noise-filtering technology and self-adjusting sensitivity to minimise unwanted alarms.
Easy to install – easy to replace – easy to expand
- A good device is not only about features but also about suitability for actual installation conditions. Prioritise products with standard designs that support flexible installation and offer the ability to expand the system in the future, in case the building undergoes changes or new areas need protection.

Comparison Between Imported and Domestic Fire Alarm Devices
Currently on the market, fire alarm devices can be broadly divided into two main groups: imported products (from Japan, Taiwan, China, etc.) and domestic products (manufactured or assembled locally, often with less well-known brands). Each type has its own advantages and limitations, depending on the intended use and investment budget.
Below is a comparison table highlighting some basic aspects:

Advice from Bao Tin Steel:
- If you are investing in factories, office buildings, or apartment complexes, it is recommended to prioritise genuine imported fire alarm devices to ensure stability, easier inspection approval, and long-term maintenance.
- For smaller projects with less strict fire safety requirements, you can consider reputable domestic devices, as long as they come with clear and complete technical specifications.
