GB1 - Glassbreak

Overview

The glassbreak sensor offers protection for one or more windows or glass doors.  The sensor features a dual-stage detection technology meaning that it listens for the "thud" or shock of the window being hit AND the sound (frequency) of the glass shattering/breaking to trigger the alarm.  Glassbreak sensors offer one of the earliest forms of intrusion protection.
