Glass Break Detectors
Magnetic sensors may not detect a break-in if the thief simply smashes a window or a glass door. Our acoustic glass breakage detectors respond to the actual cracking of the glass the moment someone tries to break in. The alarm will sound while the thief is still outside – not after he is already walking around inside the home.
Glass break detectors fall into two general categoris – Acoustic and Shock sensors. Acoustic detectors protect all of the windows in a room or area. Shock detectors protect a single expanse of glass.
Acoustic Sensors – Acoustic glassbreak sensors are an important part of an effective perimeter detection system. It is very important to choose the right sensor for a particular application or environment. We offer you a variety of choices for virtually any glassbreak application.
Shock Sensors – Breaking glass produces specific shock frequencies that travel through glass and window frames. When shock sensors feel the wave generated by breaking glass, they signal an alarm. These sensors mount directly on the glass or the frame and give you a product virtually immune to false alarms. Shock sensors can operate on windows with heavy drapes or shutters and they help prevent break-in attempts by providing a visual deterrent to intruders.
