Smoke Detector Sounding Every Night?

My smoke detectors (hardwired) have decided to start chirping (the sound when battery is low) at around 1:45 am every night. Then they go into full alarm mode. I have figured out which one of the 4 is the 'master' one so I can push the reset button to stop the alarm. However, it goes through the same cycle repeatedly. I've had to shut the circuit breaker and remove the batteries.

I have changed the batteries -- same thing happens. I have replaced all 4 of the smoke detectors w/new batteries -- and same thing happening. Always around 1:45 am.

Any ideas as to what to do next? I don't want to leave my condo unprotected. Nor have all the outlets connected with that circuit breaker not working in my home either.

Thanks!

The fact they're going off at 1:45 may have less to do with the time and more to do with the fact that they are for some reason periodically malfunctioning after a 24 hour stretch.

I am not sure anything can be done but to replace them. THis is clearly some sort of odd malfunction

Smoke alarms have a lifespan. Ours started doing that and we had to replace them with new ones.
