  3. Enhance Security With Our "Glass Break Detectors"
July, 2022

Glass break detectors complement door and window sensors by monitoring sound or vibration (shocks). They sound an alarm when they detect a particular frequency or shock waves associated with glass shattering. These devices are great additions to security, as they can always be active. This is not true with motion detectors and sensors, as they must be turned off when people are inside the establishments.

A glass break sensor detects the glass surface vibrations to which it is connected. The device will trigger an alarm if an intruder breaks the glass and tries to enter your facility. There are two main types of glass break alarms – vibration (shock) type and an acoustic type. These detectors are popular due to their compatibility in the business security ecosystem. Their acceptance lies in their ability to coordinate with intrusion detection sensors, security cameras, and access control.

Essential facts about Glass Break Detectors

Although these sensors can't prevent the glass window from breaking but can be very useful in discouraging further damage by drawing attention with a loud alarm and alerting the incident to the monitoring centre to contact the local authorities for immediate assistance;

however, they should not be considered as the primary protection in a business security alarm system. Let us understand some facts. Firstly, not all intrusions involve breaking a glass window. The glass break sensors can't be helpful if no glass is damaged during an intrusion. Secondly, glass break sensors are not cent-per cent foolproof. Factors such as the glass thickness and construction or noise-dampening materials inside the business can prevent glass break sensors from operating reliably.

For these critical reasons, glass break sensors are supplementary protection to a well-designed business security system. They represent the ultimate security level regarding the peripheral defence of your facility. In some cases, door and window sensors might be enough to get a satisfying level of security. However, when it comes to human-accessible doors and windows, it is best to protect them with glass break sensors.

The glass break sensor provides an additional layer of security due to its capability of monitoring sound and/or vibrations on a glass surface. These devices activate by shock waves or sounds. The central component is a small microphone that detects a sound exceeding an adjustable noise threshold or a sound pattern typically associated with a glass breaking. The system incorporates advanced and intelligent technology to filter unwanted noises. This avoids system malfunctioning.Glass break detectors are available in hardwired and wireless forms. However, wired models are more reliable, less prone to interference and do not require maintenance.

Our glass break detectors are available in four variants - STEKLO-2 STEKLO-4, ZVON-1, and ZVON-1 Vers. 1. The essential advantage of glass break detectors is that they are active round the clock. Thus, they ensure unparallel security and vigilant performance.
