Vibration & Shock Sensors — Specs, Brands & Hong Kong Installation
Shock and seismic detectors for windows, walls, safes, and forced-entry on solid structures.

What this sensor does
Vibration sensors pick up impact and attack patterns before a door opens or glass fully breaks. Residential jobs use wireless shock on aluminium window frames; commercial cash offices and jewellery rooms use seismic detectors on safes and masonry.
Honeywell 5819S is the 5800 wireless shock processor. Bosch ISN-SM-50 is the seismic detector we specify for high-value enclosures.
- Adjustable sensitivity / pulse counting
- Window-frame shock and safe seismic options
- Surface mount, tamper protected
- Wired Bosch and wireless Honeywell

Hong Kong / local context
Nearby MTR, traffic, and renovation next door can trip over-sensitive shock sensors. We set thresholds on site, not from a datasheet default.
For street-level glass, acoustic glass-break is often cleaner than vibration alone.
Other sensor types
Complete coverage usually mixes several detector types on one panel.
PIR Motion Sensors
Passive infrared and dual-technology motion detectors for rooms, corridors, and shop floors.
View modelsDoor & Window Contacts
Magnetic reed contacts for metal gates, aluminium windows, shutters, and internal doors.
View modelsGlass Break Detectors
Acoustic detectors that listen for breaking glass across a room — useful for shopfronts and glazed offices.
View modelsSmoke & Heat Detectors
Photoelectric smoke and heat detectors that report fire warning on the same alarm panel as intrusion.
View modelsFlood & Temperature Sensors
Water-leak probes and temperature sensors for kitchens, plant rooms, and compact IT cupboards.
