What is the logic behind not having glass break in the kitchen? If the GB are only on in 'away' mode, then it should not be a problem? or in 'night' mode, the risk would be reduced (unless someone drops a glass and shatters in middle of the night.)
the only thing i could think of was particulates/grease in the air could mess up the microphone sensor.
Thanks.
The real question you should be asking is: Do you have the correct spacing, distance, and mounting location to effectively use a glass break detector??
1. Follow the manufacturers recommended installation guide lines with respect to distance, and orientation.
2. Avoid areas of heavy drapery or materials which will mask the detection.
3. Know the limits of your sensor as some will not detect the sound of broken glass which is plated, wired, or tempered.
4. Some sensors do not provide full audio and infrasonic spectrum analysis.
5. Many sensors are directional so proper orientation is paramount. Others are provide true 360' detection but mounting is critical for these sensors.
6. Always perform a walk test, and test the sensor in real world conditions. Some brands offer testing rigs to ensure the full spectrum is tuned 100% for reliability.
7. Rattling of the key ring, clapping your hands, and other forms of testing show you a low grade sensor.
