Smart Shield Systems
E+ Glass Break Detector
The 2GIG-GB1E-900 adds extended-range, two-way encrypted glassbreak protection to large homes and light commercial sites. It listens for the dual-stage “thud & crash” signature of breaking glass and triggers your system when detected—covering up to a 15-ft radius. On the 900 MHz E+ platform, it’s rated for up to ~1.2 miles open-air and delivers up to 5 years battery life.
Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems
- Placement & acoustic tuning: we mount on a wall or ceiling (up to 180° wall / 360° ceiling sensing), set sensitivity for your room, and verify coverage with a glassbreak simulator.
- Edge-ready setup: we confirm 2GIG EDGE panel firmware (v1.3+) and enroll so alarms, restores, tampers, and supervision events report cleanly.
- Large-property RF design: we perform an RF survey to take advantage of the E+ platform’s 900 MHz extended range, minimizing dead spots.
Key Features
- Extended range: up to ~1.2 miles (open air) on the 900 MHz E+ platform.
- Dual-stage detection: listens for the “thud” + “crash” pattern to reduce false alarms.
- Covers multiple glass types: plate, tempered, laminated, and coated.
- 15-ft radius detection with user-adjustable sensitivity.
- Two-way encrypted communication for enhanced security and reliability.
- Battery life up to 5 years (field-replaceable cells).

Frequently Asked Questions
The detector covers up to a 15-ft radius around the unit. We place and test it so your most vulnerable glass is within range.
It’s designed for plate, tempered, laminated, and coated glass.
Either. The spec lists 180° horizontal sensing on a wall and 360° when ceiling-mounted; we choose the spot that best “sees” the target panes.
The 2GIG EDGE panel running firmware 1.3 or later. We confirm version and enrollment during install.
Two CR123A (3 V) lithium cells, with up to ~5 years typical life. Your system will report low battery well before replacement.
We use the FG-701 glassbreak simulator during commissioning to verify detection and fine-tune sensitivity for your space.
