Door and Window Sensors for Complete Entry Monitoring

Sensor types and quantities are selected during the site assessment based on your facility layout, security priorities, and compliance requirements. Entry point door window sensors cover every exterior door and ground-level window. Interior motion detectors cover hallways and sensitive areas. Additional sensors including glass break detectors and environmental monitors are added based on risk assessment and the specific threats your facility faces.

Wired door window sensors are largely maintenance-free after professional installation, with annual testing recommended to verify proper operation. Wireless sensors require battery replacement every three to five years depending on the sensor type and how frequently it activates. Our team can include sensor testing in your regular maintenance schedule to ensure every device in your security system performs reliably year after year.

Usually yes, provided your alarm panel has available zones and supports the sensor types you want to add. Compatible panels integrate with our access control and camera systems for coordinated event response when door window sensors trigger. Incompatible or end-of-life panels are identified during the assessment with upgrade recommendations and honest cost comparisons for your review.

PIR sensors detect heat signatures from body movement and work well in most indoor environments. Dual-technology sensors combine PIR with microwave detection and require both technologies to trigger simultaneously before activating an alarm. This dual-tech approach dramatically reduces false alarms from HVAC airflow, animals, or temperature fluctuations while maintaining reliable detection of actual intrusion events in your facility.

Supervised door window sensors send regular check-in signals to your alarm panel so the system knows every sensor is functioning and connected. If a sensor goes offline due to tampering, damage, or battery failure, the panel reports the loss immediately. Consumer-grade wireless sensors do not send check-in signals, meaning they can fail silently without anyone knowing until an event occurs and the sensor fails to detect it.

Yes. Outdoor-rated motion detectors and weatherproof door window sensors are available for loading docks, parking areas, building perimeters, and other exterior locations. Weather-resistant enclosures protect electronics from rain, dust, temperature extremes, and direct sunlight. Outdoor sensor placement is determined during the site assessment to provide perimeter detection while accounting for environmental conditions that can cause false alarms.
