Glass-break & shock detectors

Glass-break & shock detectors pick up an intrusion attempt at the window or door itself, before a motion sensor inside the room would trigger.

Acoustic detectors use a microphone tuned to the frequency pattern of shattering glass, while shock or vibration detectors mount directly on the frame and respond to the impact of an attempted break-in. Wireless models typically use the 868 MHz band shared with the alarm panel, wired units connect on the same zone loop as door contacts.

• Detection method — acoustic (microphone) covers the whole room, shock/vibration detects impact on the specific pane or frame it is mounted on
• Connection — wired detectors need a zone cable run, 868 MHz wireless models pair directly with a compatible panel
• Coverage range — match the detector's rated detection radius to the room or window size before placement
