Glassbreak Detectors - GeoArm Security®

Senses Broken Glass

for Window Protection!

A glassbreak detector is a specialized sensor designed to identify the distinct sound frequencies and patterns associated with breaking glass. These detectors are integral components of security alarm systems, strategically placed in areas with windows or glass doors that could be potential entry points for unauthorized access. When a glassbreak detector picks up the sound of shattering glass, it triggers the alarm system, alerting the property owner and/or the GeoArm 24/7 monitoring center to a possible security breach. These detectors are engineered to be highly sensitive, capable of recognizing the unique acoustic signatures of breaking glass even when the sound is muffled or obscured by other ambient noises.

Wired glassbreak detectors require a direct physical connection to the control panel, offering stability and reduced susceptibility to interference, but necessitating professional installation and potential wiring modifications. In contrast, wireless glassbreak detectors communicate via radio frequency signals to the panel, providing greater installation flexibility and ease of modification. However, they require periodic battery replacements and can be more vulnerable to interference based on their operating frequency and environmental conditions. These detectors play a crucial role in deterring potential burglars and enhancing the overall effectiveness of a comprehensive security system.
