Independent Home Safety System Audit & De-convolution Service/Resource

Homeowners often inherit complex or poorly understood integrated security and fire alarm systems. The statement "if I disable it the smoke detectors will no longer work" raises significant safety concerns and points to a lack of trustworthy information. An independent service or comprehensive DIY guide (book/online course) that helps homeowners audit their current safety system, identify potential code violations, and understand how to safely manage or separate integrated components without compromising essential life safety functions (like smoke detectors) would be highly valuable.
