Monitoring security glass panes: Smart alarm system recognizes attempted break-ins. There is a huge selection of glass break detectors on the market. Although these detectors reliably trigger an alarm when window panes break, they do not register all other ways in which burglars can interfere with a pane. To counter this, researchers have created a new type of alarm system that recognizes any attempt to manipulate the window. It registers temperature changes in real time as well as vibrations caused by external interference with the glass, leaving burglars with no chance. Source 9o.
You know how in the movies they use diamonds to cut the glass and get in? Well, if this technology is available then it means no one will be able to breach secure locations without setting off alarms.
