Alarm Glass Break Sensor

The Ring Alarm Glass Break Sensor is a fantastic addition to my home security system. It was easy to install and integrates seamlessly with my Ring setup. The sensor is highly responsive and provides peace of mind by alerting me instantly to potential break-ins. The range and sensitivity are impressive, detecting glass breaks from a good distance. Highly recommended for added security!

Any room that has an expanse of glass will benefit from this sensor. Just please realise that it cannot be tested using YouTube videos of breaking glass! Until you witness a double-glazed unit failing, you will have no idea of the sound it makes. I have been unlucky enough to witness a £650 pane failing and I was scratching my head for a long time trying to work out what it was. It sounded nothing like you would expect and nothing like the sound of a breaking bottle or pane of single glass being hit with a hammer. Ideally this is the last line of defence, so ensure you cannot do more in the way of physical security first, security lighting second, Magnetic Door and Window Sensors third and this little beauty last for the full "belt and braces" effect. Added just like all other sensors to the Ring Alarm System, there is no setting up required. It is basically just a microphone carefully tuned to the frequency of failing double-glazed units. It affixes to most surfaces the same as PIR and Mag Sensors with double-sided tape (supplied) although screws can be used. I fitted mine into a high humidity Conservatory on a wood plinth with the tape supplied and it's still there a year later. Batteries are two very simple AA Alkalines and are easy to replace, though in a year, they're showing up as still good. You can set it to be active while at home, but you do risk the microphone picking up similar frequencies and sounding the alarm. Much better just to have it arm in Home (night) and Away modes only and not in Disarmed Mode. Now all we need is for Ring to sell their Fire and Co2 Listener and Water Sensors in the UK and we'll have a system that echos what the Americans have and not a poor neighbour's version we have now.

Installed with no issues. I then tested with YouTube videos and it did not detect anything. I wrote a hasty review and I initiated a return. Then I read that you have to break real glass. Did that and all was good again.

This is one of those items/products that you purchase and hope not to use. The item itself is very easy to setup as long as you already own a ring alarm system. This will not work as a free stand alone product. The sensor is easy to integrate with your current ring alarm, it's just a question of finding it under sensors, removing the battery tab then letting it be discovered by the ring app. Placement options are either fixing it to the wall/ceiling or high on a flat surface near to the window/s to be monitored. You then have the option of using the included screws or sticky pads to afix in place; there is also the usual options for how you want it to be configured and thus activate your house alarm. The only downside I've discovered is that there is no test button so there's no way to actually check that it works, instructions state prerecorded breaking glass sounds won't work; the app states its working/monitoring but without breaking any glass its hard to confirm this 100%. Hence possibly a great product.

Having invested in a Ring alarm system a few months ago to protect my garden room I was keen to expand the monitoring above and beyond motion and door / window sensors. The glass break sensor is pretty discrete (it blends well on a white ceiling), simple to add to the system via the Ring App and works well (I tested it by breaking a glass). I think that pretty much covers everything in the garden room now and it ties in well with the Ring camera!

It was nice and easy to put up, not too big, a great addition to my alarm system

All of 30 secs to connect to the Ring Alarm... Let's hope it's not used in anger 🤞

I bought this for our downstairs office to protect patio doors and window. Definitely works, a mirror fell off the wall and our ring alarm went off straight away

Wir haben inzwischen das gesamte Sortiment von Ring .Der Glasbruchsensor ist einfach in der Installation.Wur hatten bisher keinen Fehlalarm ((auch nicht bei zugefallen er aTür)

does what is suppose to do.

Sperando che non mi serva mai, e non particolarmente interessato dal testarne il funzionamento, devo dire che è fatto molto bene e integra il sistema ring.

Great sensor, small and compact. The Ring Alarm range has been solid for me in multiple properties over the last 10+ years. Flexible, easy to set up, great for remote access, easy to control, great flexibility to add and remove other people form the system even when I am away from the property and great to control remotely too.

Estoy muy contento con el sensor de rotura de cristal de Ring Alarm. Desde que lo instalé, ha brindado una capa adicional de seguridad a mi hogar, dándome una tranquilidad extra, especialmente cuando no estoy en casa. Aspectos destacados: Detección precisa y confiable: El sensor es increíblemente preciso en la detección del sonido característico de la rotura de cristales. Incluso en situaciones donde hay ruido de fondo, no ha dado falsas alarmas, lo que me parece clave para evitar interrupciones innecesarias. Cobertura amplia: A pesar de que lo tengo instalado en una habitación grande con varias ventanas, el sensor cubre todas las áreas sin problemas. No he tenido que instalar múltiples sensores, lo cual es un plus en términos de ahorro y simplicidad. Fácil integración con Ring Alarm: La instalación fue muy rápida y sencilla, y se integró perfectamente con mi sistema de seguridad Ring. A través de la app, puedo controlar y verificar el estado del sensor, así como recibir notificaciones inmediatas si detecta cualquier posible rotura. Diseño discreto y compacto: El sensor tiene un diseño minimalista que se adapta bien a cualquier espacio sin llamar la atención. Además, el tamaño compacto facilita su instalación en lugares estratégicos sin que sea invasivo visualmente.
