FAQs About Door and Window Sensors, Motion Detection, and Glass Break Technology
How does a glassbreak sensor work?
A glassbreak sensor detects the specific frequency of breaking glass. When triggered, it sends an alert or activates your alarm. Sensitivity can be adjusted to prevent false alarms from ambient noise or audio recordings.
Where should door/window sensors be installed?
Install door and window sensors on all accessible entry points, including front or back doors, basement windows, and side entrances. They’re also helpful for monitoring private storage areas or rooms with valuables.
What are the benefits of incorporating motion sensors in your home security system?
A motion sensor can detect intruders inside your home, trigger alarms, send mobile alerts, and pair with other devices for smart home automation (like turning on lights when motion is detected)—enhancing both safety and convenience.
What is the difference between window sensors and glassbreak sensors?
Window alarm sensors detect if a window is opened, while glass break sensors detect the sound of breaking glass. Used together, they provide layered protection.
Why is it best to combine multiple sensor types in a system?
Combining motion sensors, door and window sensors, and glassbreak sensors gives you full perimeter and interior coverage, minimizes blind spots, and increases your home’s overall security.
