Security Sensors: Essential Layers of Home Security
Link Copied
There’s no one device that is a “fail-safe” way to protect every aspect of your home. That’s why it’s important to layer in security options so everywhere is covered. If you’ve got a doorbell camera or even an outdoor security camera–great! But is it enough?
Among the myriad of security solutions available, security sensors for your home stand out as a fundamental component of any effective security system. These sensors provide an extra layer of protection, offering peace of mind and serving as a deterrent to potential intruders.
In this article, we’ll look at why sensors are so crucial and how Cove home security's various sensors prove to be particularly effective in fortifying homes against unauthorized entry.
Understanding Security Sensors
While they may be small and unassuming, don’t underestimate security sensors when it comes to securing your home from potential intruders. Security sensors are devices designed to detect and respond to specific events or changes in the environment within a home.
Security sensors come in various forms, including motion sensors, glass break sensors and door sensors and window sensors. These sensors work by monitoring specific areas or entry points and triggering an alarm or notification when unauthorized activity is detected.
Importance of Security Sensors
Windows and doors are common entry points for intruders, making them crucial areas to secure. Window sensors and door sensors are simple yet highly effective devices that monitor these entry points. They consist of two main components: a sensor placed on the window or door frame and a magnet attached to the moving part (window or door). When the window or door is opened, breaking the connection between the two components, the sensor triggers an alarm, alerting the homeowner and deterring the intruder.
A glass break detector, on the other hand, is placed near or across from windows rather than on them. A glass break detector is the ultimate extra layer of protection by detecting the specific tone and frequency of shattering glass, so when a burglar (or a neighborhood kid) throws a rock at your window, you’ll know. With a range of 15 feet, one sensor can protect an entire wall of windows.
Cove’s motion sensor is typically installed in main living areas or high-traffic areas inside the home. Motion detectors use sensors to monitor movement within their field of view. They are designed to let you know if there is someone inside of your house who shouldn’t be there. If something interrupts the detector’s sensor, it will send a signal to alert you to potential danger inside of your home, ultimately sounding the alarm.
