Glass Break Detectors and How They Work

---

What's are glass break detectors you ask? Well glass break detectors are a device that sends a stream of electrons into the glass and then the break detectors reads the beam when it returns. If the break detectors notices a difference in the beam, break detectors trigger the home security system. The difference in the beam must be drastic for the break detectors to sound the home security system.

Two Other Types Of Glass Break Detectors

A less reliable form of break detectors is often called a bug. These glass break detectors sense the amount of vibration that would cause an impact to glass. They are inefficient and cause false alarms due to the number of noises which can trigger the glass break detectors. This type of home security is being phased out.

The latest in glass break detectors use sensors that monitor for the sound of glass breaking. The best of these break detectors sense the acoustics of sounds. When the break detectors sense the exact acoustics of glass breaking it activates the home security system. Keep in mind these detectors will trigger the home security system anytime a glass is broken in the house not just a window.
