When it comes to burglary, some of the most vulnerable aspects of your business are the windows on your building.
Burglars can break through the class and then either climb through or simply reach around and unlock the door and let themselves in that way.
Even though the sound of breaking glass may be loud enough to alert those nearby that a burglary is in progress, it is not a good idea to depend on this and hope that neighbors or passers-by alert the authorities. They may not even hear the sound and if they do, there is no guarantee they will be motivated to get involved and call the police.
A good solution for taking your business security into your own hands is to use Honeywell’s FlexGuard Glassbreak Detectors.
These intelligent detectors are able to recognize the sound of breaking glass with a minimum of false alarms. If an intrusion occurs, the FlexGuard Glassbreak Detector will trigger your alarm system.
Here are a few features from Honeywell’s specifications. Read more here.
Dual Technology Flex-Audio Principle
Positively detects and confirms breaking glass by analyzing both "flex" (impact) and "audio" (shattering) frequencies. For an alarm to occur the flex signal must be followed by an audio signal within a prescribed time frame.
Signal Verification
Both flex and audio signals must register valid amplitude, duration and frequency for an alarm to occur.
Signal Filtering
Thorough filtering and processing of all signals provides greater immunity to false alarms.
Broad Range
Detects glass breakage from distances up to 30' (9 m). The FlexGuard FG-730 detector sets the industry standard in glassbreak detectors.
Dual Flex/Audio Technology
Provides excellent catch performance while virtually eliminating false alarms.
Indicator LEDs
LED alarm indicator for testing flex and audio technologies.
Circuit Protection
Prevents shorts, overloads and reverse-polarity connections from causing damage.
Alarm Memory
Alarm LED can be set to latch upon alarm; helps identify which unit alarmed in multiple detector applications.
Easy Installation and Set-Up
Mount within 9m (30') of the glass to be protected. (Can be adjusted to suit characteristics of each location.)
