New from HKC are radio frequency (RF) miniature shock sensors with contacts. These devices are described by the manufacturer as low profile, for use on domestic properties against break ins. The RF miniature device comes with shock sensing technology using a low-power three-axis accelerometer. When positioned on perimeter doors and windows, these sensors can detect forced entry, attempted entry and even window/door tampering.
The miniature devices, like existing inertia sensors, have settings for Gross Attack and Pulse Count. The Gross Attack setting is designed to detect a window or door being smashed open; the alarm will sound to alert the user and deter an intruder. A Pulse Count is designed to detect when someone is trying to pry open a window or door and sounds the alarm, scaring them off before they’ve forced open a window or door. The sensor can be mounted vertically or horizontally without having to adjust any mechanical element of the sensor.
The devices come in three colours, white, brown, and grey and are in dimensions 64mm by 28mm by 9mm; and are compatible with legacy HKC RF systems. The devices are battery powered which can last for at least three years, HKC adds. Visit https://www.hkcsecurity.com/.
