window alarm

Glass breach alert

A window alarm is a security device that detects when a window is opened or broken, triggering an audible alert or notifying a monitoring system.

Most use magnetic contacts—when the window separates from the frame, the circuit breaks and the alarm sounds.

We installed window alarms on the ground floor after the break-in.
