- Fig. 1 is a simplified pictorial illustration of a glass breakage detection system, constructed and operative in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the glass breakage detection system 100 of Fig. 1 is preferably employed as part of an intrusion detection system 102 protecting a premises having breakable glass surfaces comprising at least part of an exterior thereof, such as glass doors and windows.
- the system 100 of Fig. 1 preferably includes a multiplicity of shock detectors 110 such as, for example, piezoelectric sensors which are operative to detect shock waves having an energy level higher than a pre-determined threshold, which shock waves are typically generated by glass breakage events. It is appreciated that piezoelectric sensors are typically mounted upon, or in close proximity to, glass surfaces which are protected by intrusion detection system 102.
- shock detectors 110 such as, for example, piezoelectric sensors which are operative to detect shock waves having an energy level higher than a pre-determined threshold, which shock waves are typically generated by glass breakage events. It is appreciated that piezoelectric sensors are typically mounted upon, or in close proximity to, glass surfaces which are protected by intrusion detection system 102.
- System 100 also preferably includes at least one acoustic detector 120 which is operative to receive acoustic events and for ascertaining whether the acoustic events are indicative of a glass breakage event.
- acoustic detectors typically suffer from inherent limitations which renders them inaccurate in detecting glass breakage events and prone to false positive and false negative alerts. These limitations include, for example, the inability to differentiate between acoustic events arising from glass breakage events and from other similar sudden acoustic events such as a door slamming shut.
- shock detectors 110 are also each operative, responsive to detecting a shock wave indicative of a particular glass breakage event, to communicate the occurrence of the glass breakage event by generating an acoustic event indicative of the particular glass breakage event. It is appreciated that shock detector 110 may generate the acoustic event after a predefined period of time after detecting the shock wave indicative of the particular glass breakage event. This delay in time allows for distinguishing between the generated acoustic event and the any acoustic events arising directly from the glass breakage event.
- Acoustic detector 120 is preferably operative, responsive to receiving an acoustic event generated by shock detector 110, to ascertain that the generated acoustic event is indicative of a glass breakage event. It is appreciated that the generated acoustic event may be, for example, a predefined encoded acoustic message indicating the occurrence of a glass breakage event, or an acoustic event which imitates an acoustic event resulting from an actual glass breakage event.
- acoustic detector 120 receiving, by acoustic detector 120, a glass breakage acoustic event resulting from a glass breakage event

Additionally or alternatively, as shown in Fig. 1, intrusion detection system 102 is preferably operative, responsive to receiving the indication of the glass breakage event, to communicate an alarm indication to a user of system 102 such as, for example, via a network such as the internet.
- shock detectors 110 may alternatively communicate an occurrence of a glass breakage event by employing any suitable transmission mechanism such as, for example, an acoustic-based transmission mechanism, an optical-based transmission mechanism or an electro-optic based transmission mechanism to transmit a signal indicative of said particular glass breakage event.
- detector 120 or with system 100 is operative to receive the transmitted signal and to ascertain whether the modulated infrared signal is indicative of a glass breakage event.
