The dual technology sensor is not designed to be more sensitive, but less so. It's designed to reduce false alarms by requiring both PIR and Microwave technologies to trigger together in order to activate the zone.

 

You need to look at break glass or vibration sensors to detect the brick. The Honeywell Flexguard glass detectors and Viper vibration sensors are decent devices.

 

Most alarm detection devices are 12v DC with clean contacts, so are interchangable. Only the wireless devices are vendor specific due to the varying protocols and frequencies being used.

I intend to connect these sensors to a 12v DC adapter and test their response on the bench and see what the difference is. It will be an interesting exercise. 

Have fun.

Looking at trip advisor,

 

Is the broken windows a comment on the customer service ?

Bench testing will hardly be beneficial for testing brick throwing but it's sensible wiring things up on a bench first before jumping into a project.

If it is going to work at all I would expect it to work with a ball,or something else, as well as a brick. It only has to be a moving object. i'm not going to be lobbing bricks around my lab.

I am just reading this: http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/privacy/

 

.. and wondering whether you can be trusted with members' private data. Who do I speak to about that?

Yes. This has been very helpful. Cleared up my initial question vis a vis the wiring. But I do need to take a look at the "breaking glass" option as well. I will be testing before implementing the final choice of sensor. Either on a bench or perhaps replace one sensor and test in situ.

 

 

Amazing, that you didn't get why I said what I said 

 

When will you post test results , do you have break glass detector yet?

 

And what's difference between break glass and shocks ?

 

Still don't get why you don't just spend a bit more but just the way it is

Thanks DD. Does John have an email address that I can send a private message to? Where can I find it?

"Amazing, that you didn't get why I said what I said" huh?

 

Not yet. Just heard about them from a member.

 

Break glass and shocks? Not sure what you mean.

 

I am spending a bit more.On sensors. :-)
