Carbon monoxide detector unboxing and review. This can SAVE your LIFE! Be prepared!

hey friends welcome to another unboxing video checking out this Co carbon monoxide gas alarm so this is a portable one it's battery operated and on the top we have some instructions and then here you have this so this has a nice little chain there you can hang it like on a rear view mirror or something in your vehicle or wherever you need to this has a little case here also a little 3M tape on the back and this can just be placed on a wall or something if you need to so this has a little power button on here and right here so you can press it hold it down and it'll calculate the air it takes about three minutes on the back here we have the sensor and also a battery it's one of those coin batteries you take that off so this takes about three minutes to calibrate and then it'll tell you so it figures out basically how many how much carbon monoxide parts per million there is I know this but like 420 people die in the US every year from carbon monoxide and like a hundred thousand people visit the hospital for it so it can be uh it's a gas that kind of Rises up so you want if you're going to mount it in your house or whatever you want to up a little bit higher on the floor it doesn't sink to the ground but um yeah carbon monoxide you can't you can't see it you can't taste it you can't smell it it's like it basically invisible so you need something to detect it if you have like a fire anywhere where there's like unburned like carbon left over from like that it can release this gas and it's very toxic or can be quite deadly so it's a good idea to have one of these I think there was not too long ago an actor was like in I think it was on Africa had their truck basically like idling or something like that while they're waiting maybe have their air conditioner running or something like that and somehow the carbon monoxide got inside from like the exhaust and they were both like found dead in their vehicle or something so um it can be kind of tragic so it's good to be able to detect these things actually I'm going to kind of test this out also to see how it works this should be done here calculating and then we'll actually do a little live test on it as well so I'll give a couple minutes here all right so it's done calculating and we're currently at zero percent so that's good but I'm gonna go actually try to capture some carbon monoxide and show you that's what the reading is on that hi friends so here we go I have my car running and this is kind of like down by the exhaust here [Music] we are out in the open so see right here carbon monoxide levels quite a bit higher so where this is most dangerous obviously is in a closed area where the carbon monoxide is going to displace the oxygen if I hang it up here in my van have the back door open you can kind of see we're at 16 parts per million with the exhaust coming up here but if you have like a leak inside your vehicle where it's allowing that in and you don't have anywhere for it to go right here I'm out my the back door's open I got a breeze going and stuff like that so it's measuring at that but once this reaches a certain level it's going to just flash that light to let you know hey this is not good right now and then once it reaches like uh I think 200 parts per million then it sets off the alarm as well and gets that going so a good idea to have this in you're in your vehicle or in your house or wherever just as a protection thing especially if you have a fireplace or gas stove or other things that burn uh that use fire to heat or or whatever so anyways a really handy device I like that it's portable the battery lasts like six months or longer and just a really something good to have and you can never be too safe with your family so thanks so much for watching this video my friends have a great day and I'll see you next time
