Keeping your home or property safe is extremely important, which is why the security system experts from Alarming Ideas in North Stonington, CT, carry a wide range of security equipment. Security systems are made up of a number of different sensors, such as motion sensors and door/window sensors; these work in tandem to offer the best coverage possible. For an added layer of security, many people also choose to invest in glass break sensors.
Glass break sensors work a little differently than motion or door/window sensors. Instead of detecting when an area has been breached or entered, glass sensors are designed to respond to the specific frequency of breaking glass; in effect, these sensors listen for the sound of glass breaking. One of the benefits of such sensors is that, unlike doors or windows, glass break sensors have a detection radius of approximately 20 feet.
Many choose to use glass break sensors in areas that have a lot of glass panes, such as a sunroom or patio, where they can be a good first line of defense in the case of a home invasion. Additionally, if you have windows in your home that don’t open, and you aren’t able to install a window sensor, a glass break sensor is a good alternative. Ultimately, it comes down to your personal safety preferences, which the experts from Alarming Ideas are happy to discuss and explore with you.
