GBS-P Glass Break Detection Sensor

ENVIROMUX-GBS-P Glass Break Sensor – Acoustic Early Detection for Maximum Intrusion Protection

In modern server rooms, data centers, or technical facilities, windows are often the weakest point in the security concept. A single strike—and intruders can gain access to sensitive hardware, data, and infrastructure. 

The ENVIROMUX-GBS-P glass break sensor from NTI closes this gap: it acoustically and in real time detects the distinctive sound of breaking framed glass—whether single-pane, tempered, laminated, or insulated glass. With an impressive detection range of up to 7.6 meters, it reliably monitors large glass windows, doors, or showcases. 

Thanks to adjustable sensitivity and digital signal processing, it precisely distinguishes actual glass break sounds from ambient noise such as rain, wind, or tapping—ensuring maximum false-alarm immunity. When integrated into your ENVIROMUX monitoring system, it triggers alarms instantly via SMS, email, siren, or camera activation—before the intruder even steps inside.

The technology behind this sensor is advanced yet elegantly simple: 

A highly sensitive microphone captures acoustic waves in the typical glass break frequency band (3–5 kHz). Digital signal processing (DSP) analyzes the sound pattern within milliseconds and compares it with stored glass break signatures. An alarm is triggered only on a precise match—preventing false alerts from non-threatening noise. 

Imagine a data center with floor-to-ceiling windows: an intruder smashes a pane at night. The ENVIROMUX-GBS-P immediately recognizes the shattering sound and sends a signal to the ENVIROMUX system; within seconds, the alarm siren activates, lights go on, and doors lock automatically. The security team receives a push notification with location and timestamp. 

The sensitivity is easily adjustable via a potentiometer, allowing precise tuning to the environment—less sensitive in noisy offices, higher sensitivity in quiet server rooms. The sensor operates on a 12 V / 1 A power adapter (included) and connects via screw terminals or CAT5/6 with RJ45 (MINI-LXO)—cable length up to 305 m.

The ENVIROMUX‑GBS‑P is not only technologically advanced but also practical and versatile. It comes with full mounting hardware for wall or ceiling installation—set up in just minutes, even in large or high-ceiling spaces. With a detection range of 7.6 meters, it covers wide glass surfaces, which can be slightly reduced by curtains, blinds, or thick carpets—ideal for targeted protection. Whether in a small equipment room with an ENVIROMUX‑MINI‑LXO, a medium‑sized server room with MICRO‑TRH, or a large data center with E‑1W, this sensor scales effortlessly with your system. 

It is compatible with digital inputs, the E‑DI2‑1W expander, and remote power devices such as PWR‑RMT‑RBT‑C13. Customers particularly value its maintenance‑free operation, fast response time, and proven intrusion prevention—many insurers even offer premium discounts when such systems are installed.

Real‑World Applications

The ENVIROMUX‑GBS‑P is designed for environments where glass is a potential entry point:

• Server rooms with windows: Example: Floor‑to‑ceiling glass detected immediately—alarm and camera trigger before the intruder enters.
• Data centers with glass doors: Example: Attempted break‑in activates automatic door locks and alerts security.
• Office buildings with display cases: Example: Any tampering with glass enclosures triggers an instant notification.
• Technical enclosures with insulated glass: Example: At remote sites, a glass break triggers a remote alarm and dispatch alert.
• Co‑location environments with glass partitions: Example: Each section is individually monitored—customer data remains protected.
