The origin of Orrigen

What started as a frustrated homeowner with a beeping smoke detector battery at 2 a.m. has transpired into patented technology. We engaged electrical and mechanical engineers in June 2018 and quickly learned just how much of a difference this device can make. We’ve decided that if Orrigen saves just one life, it will be worth the journey. This device will transform the way emergency personnel respond to events and will put the most anxious mind to rest. We are Orrigen and we are where safety begins.
