What type of sensor should be installed in front of and within range of the windows they are designed to protect?

Glass break sensors are specifically designed to detect the sound or vibration associated with the breaking of glass. By being strategically installed in front of and within range of windows, these sensors effectively monitor for the unique acoustic signatures generated when glass is shattered. This targeted design enables them to trigger alarms or notifications, thereby providing an essential layer of security for windows, which are often vulnerable points of entry in a building.

While motion sensors can detect movement within a specific area, they may not provide the immediate response needed for window breaches. Photoelectric sensors generally function by detecting changes in light intensity, making them less suitable for window protection in terms of glass detection. Thermal sensors detect temperature changes and are primarily used in surveillance or environmental monitoring rather than specifically for glass protection.
