What is a Window Sensor?
A window sensor is a small multi-unit home security device where a contact sensor is installed onto the window frame and a magnet onto the sash. Users can open the window normally using the handle but if the window opens due to force from intruders, this will trigger a switch and send a signal to smart devices or the chosen programmed alarm.
Contact sensors are therefore a great asset to make the most of security systems as they immediately alert homeowners of unusual activity and attempted break-ins, via a window alarm.
Authorities can then be contacted quickly as the sensor provides an initial warning and works well with interior motion sensors which are triggered upon potential intruder entry.
Window sensors can also be effectively installed on a door frame to act as a door sensor or door alarm for door window panels.
A Wide Variety of Alarm Triggers
A wide range of different alarm types can be triggered by the door or window sensor impulse. The window security sensor can be programmed and connected to different alerts. Forced access into a house through a window or door window panel would then cause a loud blaring alarm, phone app alert or lights to go off, for example. A unique sound could also be chosen as a smart home notification.
Connecting to Smart Home Systems
You can connect a door and window sensor from Neuffer to a smart home hub and app system with a little professional help and our expert team on hand to answer questions.
A pass-by or program command can be created, for example, so that your smart window sensors can sound a loud alarm or send mobile alerts across multiple smart home devices.
Whether you are away and can alert neighbors or contact someone at home, building security and time to act is increased.
Add-ons and Design Possibilities
Although our window alarm sensor may be highly functional, given its sleek shape and inconspicuous size, design is not compromised.
Smart sensors from Neuffer can also be customised in a colour of your choice, such as silver, white or bronze to match other fittings and the door or window frame.
Moreover, further add-ons can be chosen from our range of home security system products, including alarms and additional door locks or laminated safety door window glass, for example.
You may also decide to purchase a roller shutter to go with your new door and window alarm sensor. In this case an extra layer of protection is added, and a smart home system can be purchased from us directly.
The Cost of Products with Home Security Window Sensors
As products from Neuffer can be personalized to suit customer needs, prices differ depending on the product type, colour choices and add-ons selected. Sliding doors which have a sensor system and a large glazed door window will cost more than a smaller front door with a digital peep door camera and sensors, for example. A basic uPVC window with an alarm and a few extra options would then be cheaper again – just contact the team today to discuss your preferences and receive a free quote.
