If you’ve ever heard the sound of glass shattering, you know it makes a very distinct sound. If you ever hear this scary sound in your home, ensure that it’s immediately followed by the sound of your home’s security system going off. You can help ensure that happens by installing glass break sensors from SafeStreets throughout your home.
Breaking a glass sliding door, glass doors, and windows is one of the most common ways for burglars to gain entry into your home, but you can help prevent this with glass break sensors. Keep reading to learn more about the advantages of installing glass break sensors.
How Do Glass Break Sensors Work?
SafeStreets offers two different types of glass break sensors – shock and acoustic. Although they work differently, they are both designed to do the same thing: detect the sound of shattering glass in your home.
Shock glass break sensors work by “feeling” the disruption caused by breaking glass. This type of glass break detector needs to be installed directly on the window in order for them to work properly. Acoustic glass break sensors, meanwhile, are designed to “hear” the sound when glass breaks. Because of this, acoustic glass break detectors do not need to be installed on the window and can instead be installed in locations throughout your home. SafeStreets’ glass break sensors have a radius of 25 feet, which means one glass break sensor can cover multiple windows and doors.
When one of the ultra-sensitive glass break detectors picks up the sound of shattering glass or feels a disruption, our 24/7 ADT-monitored glass break sensors will trigger an alarm. You’ll then receive an immediate notification to your smartphone or other smart devices, whether you’re at home or away at work, or on vacation. An ADT monitoring professional will also be notified immediately and can contact the authorities to send help right away.
When you work with a member of the SafeStreets’ team, they will help you find the best locations around your home to install our glass break sensors and help ensure total coverage throughout your home. The best locations to install acoustic glass break sensors are typically high on ceilings and walls and in areas that are not obstructed from the sound of glass breaking. They will also help you understand exactly how these sensors work to make sure you know how to properly use them.
