If we call for the password and do not get the correct password for any reason, we immediately dispatch the police and call your emergency contact numbers.

Once the authorities have been dispatched, we then call your emergency contact list and provide notification of the alarm.

Q:
How does the glass break detector work?
A: The glass break detector is designed to trigger the alarm when a window breaks on your premises. It is a sensor that detects the low frequency caused by the vibration of a window breaking and the high frequency sound of the glass breaking. Both the high and low frequency sounds must occur simultaneously in order to trigger the alarm. The glass break detector is designed to protect any windows that are within a line of site and within a 15-foot radius of the glass break detector's location. Generally speaking, to get maximum protection from a glass break detector, it is best to assume that it will only protect the windows that are in the same room as the device. It is important to understand that the use of window coverings (curtains, blinds, etc) may cause the range limitations of the glass break detector to be diminished. If you have questions, you can reach a representative at 1-212-989-1700.
