Home Security Systems $39.99

4.7/5 1,488 ratings

SimpliSafe Glassbreak Sensor - 20ft. Range - Sound Detection Technology - Compatible with The SimpliSafe Home Security System - Latest Gen

The SimpliSafe Glassbreak Sensor is designed to detect the unique sound of breaking glass (up to a 20 ft range) and trigger your SimpliSafe alarm. It supports instant phone alerts through the SimpliSafe app, uses a battery expected to last about 4 years, and installs with peel-and-stick plus optional screws.

4.6/5 2,157 ratings

It’s built for everyday carry (keys, purse, backpack) with a pin-pull activation and a long standby battery life, plus a weather-resistant build for outdoor use. The main tradeoff is that some users report accidental activation risk if the device or pin is disturbed, so it may not be ideal if it will jostle freely in a pocket or bag.
