AKCP Glass Break and Vibration Sensor (VDS)

Physical security in data centers, server rooms, industrial facilities, and high-security environments requires specialized detection systems. The AKCP Glass Break and Vibration Sensor (VDS) is specifically designed to detect shocks, vibrations, and glass breakage with high precision. It plays a crucial role in early detection of tampering or intrusion attempts, protecting critical infrastructures from damage, downtime, or data loss.

Versatile Applications

The VDS is a universal security sensor designed for a wide range of uses, including:

• Monitoring IT racks and server cabinets in data centers
• Securing safes, vaults, and ATMs
• Protecting glass panels and windows against breakage or impact
• Detecting vibrations on walls, doors, and floors
• Early warning against intrusions using tools such as hammers, saws, or crowbars

The sensor protects both sensitive IT hardware and traditional physical security areas.

High-Precision Vibration Detection

At the core of the VDS sensor is an adjustable contact pressure mechanism ranging from 1 to 50 grams. The factory default setting of 6 g offers reliable precision with minimal false alarms in most environments. The sensitivity can be fine-tuned as needed:

• High sensitivity for glass break and vault protection
• Lower sensitivity for industrial or vibrational environments to reduce false triggers

With a reaction time of just 45 ms, the sensor responds instantly when vibration or impact is detected.

Durability and Build Quality

• Operating mode: normally closed switch
• Rated capacity: 1 A at 50 V DC
• Contact material: pure silver for maximum conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Switching durability: over 100,000 cycles
• Built‑in tamper switch independent of main vibration sensor
• Housing: ABS plastic (60 × 21 × 15 mm), weight ~20 g

Network Integration

The AKCP VDS Glass Break and Vibration Sensor is fully SNMP‑enabled and compatible with all sensorProbe and securityProbe base units. It connects via RJ‑45 interface using standard CAT5e/6 cabling, with a maximum cable length of 305 meters.

In large‑scale installations, such as those using sensorProbeX20/X60 or securityProbe‑X60, up to 60 vibration sensors can be monitored simultaneously—making it ideal for complex and distributed infrastructures.

Alarm Notification and User Interface

• Email alerts
• SMS/MMS via GSM or 4G modules
• SNMP traps to centralized monitoring systems
• Customizable alarm templates via web interface

Each sensor can be individually named for easy management and integration with network monitoring systems such as Nagios, OpenNMS, PRTG, and WhatsUp Gold.

Installation and Operation

Installation is straightforward:

• Mount the sensor using industrial adhesive or specialized glue on the target surface
• Connect via RJ‑45 interface to the base unit
• Adjust sensitivity to match environmental conditions
• Lock in place with tamper‑resistant cover

Built for 24/7 operation, the sensor is virtually maintenance‑free and engineered for long‑term reliability.

Cost Efficiency and Benefits

Investment in the VDS sensor pays off quickly through:

• Early detection of manipulation and vibration events
• Prevention of data theft and downtime
• Reduced repair costs by preventing damage from forced entry
• Lower operating costs due to durable, maintenance‑free construction

Typical Applications

• IT racks and server rooms: anti‑tampering and intrusion protection
• Glass surfaces: break and tamper detection
• Safes and vaults: detection of even minor vibrations
• Walls and floors: shock response for protected zones
• Industrial environments: monitoring in pre‑climate or restricted areas

Advantages of the AKCP Glass Break and Vibration Sensor (VDS)

• Adjustable contact pressure sensitivity (1 – 50 g)
• Fast response time ≤ 45 ms
• Tamper switch for added security
• Compatible with all sensorProbe and securityProbe devices
• SNMP integration with major monitoring platforms
