Glass Break Sensors for Added Window Protection

Detect Intrusions Before They Enter

Doors aren't the only way intruders break in. Windows are often the weakest link in home security—especially basement and first-floor windows out of view. With Ackerman Security's glass break sensors, you'll be instantly alerted the moment a window is shattered, so your system can respond before the intruder ever steps inside.

These specialized sensors add a powerful layer of defense that works in real-time and integrates seamlessly into your overall security system.

Call Ackerman Security or schedule an appointment for a free in-home consultation to learn more about how a smart door lock can transform your home.

How Glass Break Sensors Work

Ackerman offers two types of glass break detection:

Acoustic Glass Break Sensors

  • Mounted on ceilings or walls
  • Detect the specific frequency of breaking glass
  • Cover a wide area (up to 30-40 feet), making them ideal for rooms with multiple windows
  • Perfect for living rooms, sunrooms, and open floor plans

Shock Glass Break Sensors

  • Installed directly on windows
  • Detect vibrations caused by physical impact or breakage
  • Offer precision with fewer false alarms
  • Ideal for high-risk or isolated windows

Why Add Glass Break Sensors?
