Relating to the incident I had last week where the glass break sensor failed to activate the alarm. I am attaching photos of the glass breaks and placement in my house.
The question is whether there is a better sensor, and/or better placement to ensure it works properly.
Placement is not likely an issue, based on the photos. Going off your other posts the question looks like it would be whether they are powered and working properly.
On the off chance do you have any window film on those windows? Window film used for UV protection or security can cause problems for audio glass break detectors.
Have they been tested? Glass break detector manuals will typically call out a tester device in the manual that should be used. Do you know the model of those? It may be on a label somewhere inside the detector.
I can’t compare the sensors in the image to other options without knowing the exact model, I am having trouble identifying that model from the images, however it is pretty clear that unless there was something covering the window muffling the sound the detector in that first image should have activated if that glass was smashed.
If you have any window film on the glass it may be better to use shock sensors instead for those cases.
Can you confirm those wired glass break detectors are powered and connected correctly to the wired to wireless translator? Can you provide an image of the wiring inside the translator?
If you plan to replace them, the PowerG version would be a good option.
There is no window film.
There is a solid chance that the glass break is either non-functional due to power/wiring issues or internal defect then. That placement shouldn’t be an issue for a properly functioning sensor.
