jjpearce05 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Hi, Last week my parents were woke in the night by a large kick to their front door - a foot print was found the next morning on the door. They have an alarm - what are peoples views on impact/vibration sensors on the door or door frame - are they worthwhile or do they create more false alarms than they are worth ? The door is a composite door. Thanks
PeterJames Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Perimitter security is worthwhile but it does add a cost to installs, so unless the risk is high they are not used as much as they could be.
Oxo Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Well it seems this bloke was testing, so I would in this situation.

Oxo Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 They can still be set to a lower level, grouped or even left in a seerate group as a chime only if only to warn there is detection.
jjpearce05 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Thanks for your responses - if we did go down this route, which ones do I avoid or which ones do people recommend ? Would you fix it to the door or frame ?
PeterJames Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Vibros on front doors can be problematic, people legitimately knocking the door letter boxes etc People knocking the door?? Door slamming, and birds flying into windows, cause problems but if knocking on the door activates it there is something wrong with the way its set up
Oxo Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 On the frame, just below the bottom deadbolt is a good spot. Away from the (knocker and) letterbox.
