How does this device work? Is it attached to a conductive tape on the window or does it use an audio system to determine glass breakage?

It is a glassbreak sensor and not a vibration sensor so it works by detecting sound and compares it to a digital representation of what breaking glass should sound like. Some glass break sensors do not work for saftey glass (like the glass in sliding doors) and some do. The manufacturer or maybe this reseller would know.

We use it on our porch that is enclosed with plastic film windows. Works great but it is recommended that you crack a few windows to get some fresh air if room is tightly sealed. We normally just open the door to the house after the porch gets warm.

Hello, I have no idea, was just curious about the item and thought I could use it to possibly track down a wall switch that goes nowhere in our house. turn off all breakers but the circuit the switch is on and check for a signal thru the wall with the switch on and follow it, have not tried yet. Just checked around a few wires and it does sense the electricity. I think the deal on it detecting cameras is that you can see the infrared with it or something. Have not had time to really check, it may just be a barely useful gimmick. But I hope I can trace the wire. It may make a cool kinda selective sensitivity signal tracer.Peace!

I have tried to pair this glass break detector (as well as non-Iris motion detectors) with Iris and was not successful. I'm not aware of a solution, but am interested in a glass break detector for Iris as well.

I think this device is for repairing auto safety glass. Two panes of glass molded and glued together. Mirror glass is usually single pane and the pressure of the sealant might even spread the crack. I would say no. Buy a new mirror.

thieves can easily break windows without sending a large enough shock wave to set off the alarm. (usually they use porcelain pieces 1/4th inch spark plug fragments) To protect your self from that, grab a 508D proximity sensor. It will warn if they get too close (and notify you) and if they reach in the alarm goes off. Look it up. Its about 25.00 .

The glass break sensor itself doesn't make a sound. It activates an alarm on the system when triggered just as opening a door does if the system is armed.

Put your ear to the window. Can you hear faint traces of conversation? If so, then this device will have something to amplify so yes-maybe but it still may be too weak to understand clearly. Half the value of this listener is the directional isolation against a noisy environment.If you can get direct physical access to the window, you might get better results from another device called a Mechanic's Ear, that takes vibrations directly off a solid surface via a transducer. Skips the loss of the vibrations having to convert back to atmosphere.

Probably not. Sounds like you damaged the actual computer, not just the glass.

You need a phantom voltage from a recording interface. For measurements REW works with Windows.

The same as the old fashioned way, just push the glass. It will click as it moves but won't break.

It is AC powered so you have to plug it in to AC outlet or extension cord. The motion detect is done via dvr. It will work during the day from behind a window but not at night since IR will reflect off the glass and washout the picture

Interesting. I never tried one inside glass. Cannot see any reason it would not work since it views optical. I have some outside but under a roof. I have a wireless one taped to a tree in front of the house. It tells me when the mail goes.

This is a great thermometer. The cord certainly cannot pass through the glass, but the cord is quite small & flexible and if the window does not fit too tightly, the window may be able to close with the cord in the crack. Try closing the window on a small cord, such as a thin shoe string.

Thank God I haven't needed to break a window out of my car...so, the answer to your question is NO---but try it on an old piece of glass, auto glass would be best, to simulate a real automobile window. I've spoken with people familiar with how auto glass breaks and the blunt force from a hard, pointed object will break the glass in an instant. Bank on it!

My guess is it would make it slightly more difficult to break if the tint is the aftermarket film type. That's basically colored tape covering your window so even thought the glass might bread it will still be held loosely by the tape. You might have to hit it in more than one place and then tear or cut the tint film. I would think this tool would still be effective in getting the glass to a point where you can pull apart the tint film. You might even use the cutting blade to cut the film? Hope this helps.

It depends on what your definition of "easily" is. It can be peeled from the glass window pane and it does not damage the glass. But, it takes a little effort; otherwise, the film would be falling off the window when you do not want it to come off. Loosening the edge with a single edge razor blade or a scraper used to remove paint from glass and then using a spray bottle of water that includes a little dish-wash detergent will help to re-wet the adhesive holding the film to the glass. Glass has much greater hardness/resistance to tearing or scratching than the plastic film.
