Why would I want an alarm in my window screen?

Most people with home security systems choose to include door and window sensors to protect their homes from intrusion. That way, if a door or window is opened, the alarm will trigger. But what if you want to have your windows open while your system is activated, and still be protected? Screen sensors from WH Security can help you do just that!

Imagine it’s a nice cool evening and you’d like to leave the windows open while you sleep. The only problem is that you don’t want to risk someone attempting to enter your home through those open windows. Screen sensors have alarm mesh technology built into them that will trigger an alarm if the screen is cut. They also include a sensor that detects if the screen is popped out. This can provide you with the option of having your windows open without compromising any of your home’s security.

Another way we’ve seen our customers utilize this technology is to make sure people stay IN their rooms. If you’re worried about a child sleepwalking and trying to get outside during the night, or more likely, a teenager sneaking out at night, the screen alarm can work to your advantage. The sensors will alert you if your child accidentally knocks out your screen or if your teenager tries to cut it out.

Screen sensors are one of the many add-on options available for your home security system. Contact a representative today to find out more!
