Garage door tilt sensors are essential components in modern security systems, designed to detect the open or closed status of a garage door. These sensors are typically mounted on the inside of the garage door and use a tilt mechanism to determine the door's position. When the door is opened, the sensor detects the change in angle and sends a signal to the security system, alerting the homeowner or triggering an alarm if the system is armed. This functionality is crucial for ensuring the security of a home, as garage doors are often a vulnerable entry point for intruders.
GeoArm, a well-known provider of security solutions, offers a range of garage door tilt sensors from reputable manufacturers such as 2GIG, Alula, Qolsys, and Resideo.
