Avoid Georgia Home Insurance Claims with Window Shatter Sensors

A wireless glass-break sensor

Apart from investing in Georgia home insurance to help financially protect your home you may also have installed window locks, motion sensor lighting, and robust external doors. These security steps may be an excellent deterrent for some potential home burglars but for others you’ve left them no choice but to smash a window to gain entry to your home.

Many people think burglars avoid breaking windows and glass doors due to the sound of breaking glass potentially drawing unwanted attention. Unfortunately, when a single loud crash is heard, followed by no other suspicious noise neighbors often dismiss it as being unimportant.

Adding quality glass-break and shatter sensors at strategic places around your home may be a great way to help overcome this gap in your home security. There are two main types of glass-break sensors: one is triggered by the specific acoustic frequency of shattering glass and the other senses the vibration of shattering glass.

Glass-break and shatter systems come in numerous sizes and shapes and may be suitable for specific types of glass. Different sensors have different ranges, some cover a whole room and others a few feet, some are portable and battery operated while others are more complex and should be installed by professionals.

With such a wide range of sensors available it’s a smart idea to talk to your local security professional about which ones are right for your home. Also, inform your Georgia home insurance company about your security upgrade as it may qualify you for a discount on your premiums.
