Vibration Detection Reduces False Alarms
Unlike sound-activated alarms that can trigger from thunder or loud noises, vibration sensors detect the specific pattern of breaking glass. The sensor must be physically attached to the glass, so environmental sounds don’t cause false alerts. When the glass actually breaks, the 100 dB alarm activates instantly.
True DIY Installation
Peel the adhesive backing, press onto clean glass, and the alarm is active. No wiring, no drilling, no tools, no professional installation. The compact design (2.5″ x 0.75″) sits unobtrusively on any window or glass door. When you move, they remove cleanly without damaging property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will thunderstorms trigger the alarm?
Unlikely—the vibration sensor requires physical contact with breaking glass. Environmental sounds don’t cause false alarms because the sensor isn’t sound-activated.
How long do the batteries last?
Button cell batteries typically last 6-12 months under normal conditions. The unit only draws power when triggered, extending battery life significantly.
Can I use these on sliding glass doors?
Yes—they work on any glass surface. Place them on the glass panels of sliding doors for break-in protection.
