What distinguishes the category “Other Alarms”?

This is a section dedicated to specialized alarm sensors that complement the classic SSWiN system. You will find vibration detectors, glass breakers, vibrations and other sensors that allow you to detect physical attacks on windows, doors, window or building structure.

Sensor types in this category

• Glass-Break sensors: They react to the sound of glass cracking or vibrations formed during the break of the glass.
• Vibration/shock sensors: Mounted on windows, doors or structural elements, they detect drilling, breaking, or other physical interference. ([turn0search8])
• Inertial sensors: They detect acceleration, vibration, which allows to react to mechanical attacks even without direct contact with the glass. ([turn0search8])

Why use these detectors?

• Increasing the level of protection: Vibration and glass break sensors detect interference where traditional PIR sensors can be less effective.
• Installation flexibility: They can be installed on windows, doors, windows, frames – without complicated changes in the existing alarm system.
• SSWiN Synergy: They act as part of a central alarm system — they send a signal to the control panel that reacts according to a programmed alarm scenario.
• Security against sabotage: Vibration sensors may signal physical damage or manipulation tests.

What should we pay attention to when choosing the detector?

• Type of detection: Whether you need to detect glass cracking sound or mechanical vibrations (or both).
• Installation method: Whether the device will be attached to the window, window frame or wall.
• Communication type: A wired or wireless solution, depending on the alarm system architecture.
• Power supply: Check the power requirements (e.g. 12 V, battery) and possible tamper (signalization of the opening of the housing). ([turn0search6])
• Sensitivity adjustment: The ability to calibrate detector sensitivity to reduce false alarms.

Most common questions (FAQ)

Can a vibration sensor replace a traditional motion detector?

Not always — the vibration sensor detects physical vibration (e.g. glass crack, shock), while the motion detector (PIR) detects the presence of an object based on infrared radiation. It is best to use both types for better protection.

Where is the best place to install a glass break detector?

Ideally on the window frame or directly on the window (as specified by the manufacturer) to detect the contusion as effectively as possible.

Do vibration sensors generate a lot of false alarms?

This may happen if sensitivity is not calibrated properly. Therefore, it is worth choosing a model for adjusting sensitivity and testing it after installation.
