Description
The Ajax GlassProtect is a wireless glass break detector that uses an electret microphone and a two-stage audio analysis algorithm to identify the sound of breaking glass up to nine metres away. It monitors a 180-degree arc in front of the detector, covering an entire wall of windows from a single mounting point, and it does so without requiring any contact with the glass itself. Fitting it to the ceiling or a nearby wall is enough.
This listing is for the Ajax GlassProtect in White, professionally supplied and installed by CCTV Aware, Ajax Certified Specialists covering Essex, London, Hertfordshire, and Kent.
DualTone glass break verification
The GlassProtect uses Ajax’s DualTone algorithm, which cross-references two distinct frequency signatures, a low-frequency thud and a high-frequency shatter, before raising an alarm. Both must be present and within the correct time window for the detector to confirm a genuine glass break event. This significantly reduces false alarms from other sudden loud sounds such as dropped objects, slammed doors, or vehicle impacts outside, which typically produce only one of the two signatures. Sensitivity is adjustable across three levels through the Ajax app.
Wired detector input and installation notes
Like several Ajax sensors, the GlassProtect includes a terminal for connecting a third-party NC-type wired detector, useful for bringing an existing contact or vibration sensor into the same alarm zone without adding a separate device. One installation note worth knowing: the GlassProtect will not detect breakage through glass that has been fitted with shockproof, sunscreen, or decorative film. If any of your glazing has this type of film applied, discuss it with us at the point of installation so we can plan the right sensor arrangement for each opening.
Seven-year battery life
The GlassProtect runs on a single pre-installed CR123A battery with a calculated life of up to seven years, one of the longest in the Ajax range. It connects to your Ajax Hub 2 or range extender at a radio range of up to 1,000 metres, with tamper protection active at all times.

The GlassProtect is particularly effective in rooms with large areas of glazing such as conservatories, bi-fold door openings, and street-facing shop fronts. If you are not sure whether glass break detection is the right choice for a specific location, get in touch and we will advise on the best approach for each zone.

Yes. We can install CCTV as discreetly as possible, depending on your property and coverage requirements.
Options can include:
- Compact camera styles
- Higher mounting positions where appropriate
- Tidy cable routes and minimal visible trunking
- Recorder installed out of sight in a secure location
If your priority is a low profile install, tell us at quotation stage so we can recommend the best approach for your layout.
The recorder (DVR or NVR) is normally installed indoors in a secure, sensible location with good ventilation.
Common locations include:
- A cupboard or utility area
- An office
- A comms cabinet or rack
We typically install it near your internet router if you want remote viewing on your phone, as it needs a network connection.
If you have a preferred location, let us know during the quote stage and we will advise if it is suitable.
In many cases, yes.
Whether you can add cameras later depends on:
- How many spare channels your recorder has
- Whether the recorder has spare capacity on the hard drive
- Whether cable routes and power options are available
If you think you might expand in future, we can design the system with this in mind, for example fitting an 8 channel recorder for a 4 camera install, or leaving suitable cable routes.
Yes. Your CCTV system records locally to the recorder (DVR or NVR). If your broadband drops out, it will still continue recording as normal.
What you will lose during an internet outage is:
- Remote viewing from your phone or PC
- Push notifications and alerts to your phone
- Remote playback access
Once the internet comes back online, remote viewing and notifications will resume.
Recording time, also known as retention, depends on a few things:
- Number of cameras
- Camera resolution (for example 6MP, 8MP)
- Recording mode (continuous 24/7, motion only, or a mix)
- Frame rate and bitrate settings
- The hard drive size fitted to your recorder
As a rough guide, higher resolution and 24/7 recording will reduce retention. Motion based recording can greatly increase retention, but it depends on how busy the scene is.
We generally specify our systems to give you a retention period of 21 days.
Hikvision CCTV systems can support a multitude of notifications that can be configured to perform various actions from alerting your mobile phone to activating a parking barrier.
That being said, this guide talks about the three main notification options.
Motion Detection
In its simplest form, this is when an object enters the camera view area and a motion is triggered.
Line Crossing
An invisible line can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view area, for example the driveway threshold or the garden boundary. Once an object crosses over that line (from either way) - a line crossing is triggered.
Intrusion Detection
This is similar to Motion Detection but more specific. With Intrusion Detection an invisible quadrilateral shape can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view, for example directly outside your front door. Once an object then enters that area - an intrusion detection is triggered.
With all of the options above, the system is unable to detect the difference between a human, pet or other object. This can often result in false notifications being triggered to the user. In addition to this, if the system generates the notification - it is then down to your broadband provider (router) to push the notification out to your mobile device. This will often fail if your provider is not quite up to scratch or your mobile phone is currently in an area with poor coverage.
Because of this, we do not provide support on notifications that are sent to your mobile device.
Unfortunately, no.
We are authorised and Certified by Hikvision UK to supply and install their products.
We are unable to provide you with an installation only service if you have purchased your own equipment as we are not insured to do so.
In addition to this, we would be unable to provide you with our comprehensive support and warranty for three years that our systems come with.
