Kidde DETECT 30CUDR-VCA: The Ultimate 2-in-1 Voice Alert Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm

If you want a pro-grade fire safety without the "tradesperson" price tag, the Kidde 30CUDR-VCA DETECT series offers the smartest, most reliable protection for your home.

With advanced dual-sensing technology and crystal-clear voice alerts, you’ll never have to guess what a "beep" means.

Superior Protection with Voice Alerts: Hear the Danger, Take Action

Standard alarms just beep—leaving you to wonder if it’s a kitchen mishap or a life-threatening emergency. The Kidde 30CUDR-VCA changes that by speaking directly to you in English or French.

• Clear Voice Alerts: Instantly tells you "Fire!" or "Warning: Carbon Monoxide," giving your family precious seconds to react correctly.
• Dual-Sensing Technology: Combines Photoelectric sensors (faster at detecting slow, smoldering fires) and Electrochemical sensors (the gold standard for CO detection) into a single, sleek unit.
• Smart Nuisance Reduction: Features enhanced sensors that can tell the difference between "burnt toast" and a real fire, virtually eliminating frustrating false alarms.

• 100% Battery Powered: No wiring, no drywall cutting, and zero electrical knowledge required. It runs on two AA batteries, ensuring your family is protected even during power outages.
• Twist-and-Click Mounting: The included bracket installs with just a screwdriver. Once the plate is up, simply twist the alarm into place. It’s that easy.
• 10-Year Peace of Mind: This unit is built to last a full decade. It even features a self-testing system that verifies the internal components are working 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I install this in my home?

For maximum safety, install one on every level of your home, especially outside sleeping areas and in finished basements. Since this is battery-operated, it’s perfect for hallways and bedrooms where hardwiring isn't already present.

How often do I need to change the batteries?

While the unit lasts 10 years, we recommend replacing the AA batteries once a year (or whenever the low-battery voice alert triggers). The unit will proactively tell you when power is getting low.

Does this replace the need for separate detectors?

Yes! Because this is a "Combination" unit, it saves you money and ceiling space by doing the work of two separate devices.
