Frequently Asked Questions
How does a glassbreak sensor work?
A glassbreak sensor detects the sound frequency of breaking glass and triggers an alarm to alert you of potential intrusions. The sensor is specific to that particular sound, and sensitivity can be adjusted so that recordings, such as those in movies, are less likely to trigger an alarm.
Where should door/window sensors be installed?
Door/window sensors should be installed on all accessible entry points for enhanced security, including front doors, first-floor windows, and any other potential entry points. Additionally, many find these sensors useful for monitoring sensitive areas with off-limits items, such as liquor cabinets or documents secured in a drawer. Each sensor can be set to display an area you name, so alerts or notifications inform you which area has been accessed.
What are the benefits of incorporating motion sensors in your home security system?
Motion sensors enhance security by detecting movement within a designated area, triggering alarms, and providing real-time alerts to deter intruders. These sensors can also be used to trigger smart home devices automatically, such as turning on lights in a dark hallway.
What is the difference between window sensors and glassbreak sensors?
Window alarm sensors detect when a window is opened, while glass break sensors detect the sound of breaking glass, providing different layers of security. These sensors work in tandem with each other.
What are the benefits of having a combination of sensors for enhanced security?
Combining motion sensors, door/window sensors, and glassbreak sensors ensures comprehensive coverage across your home,reducing blind spots, and enhancing
overall security.
