My old boss swore by glass break sensors - I said they were overkill
About 2 years ago at a job in Phoenix, my boss insisted I install glass break sensors in every single room of a 3,000 sq ft house. I thought he was crazy, told him the motion detectors were enough. Well, the homeowner's kid managed to break a back window and the motion detector didn't catch it because they were a tiny kid crawling through. The glass break sensor from the next room over picked it up and the alarm went off. Has anyone else had a situation where a sensor you thought was unnecessary actually saved the day?

Yeah I heard about a similar thing on a security podcast a while back. They said glass breaks catch stuff motion sensors miss, especially with pets or small kids setting them off.

Buddy of mine found that out when his dog kept setting off the motion sensor in the living room.
