Window alarms work using a contact sensor and a magnet. The contact sensor attaches to the stationary window frame and the magnet attaches to the moving part of the window. When your window is opened and contact between these two pieces is broken, the window sensor sends a signal to your control panel, and the alarm is triggered. Vivint window sensors can also be used on doors. In fact, installing door and window alarms is one of the 10 simplest ways to secure your home.
You can install window sensors yourself, but we recommend professional installation to ensure speed and accuracy. Vivint window sensors are mounted using a strong adhesive strip on the back, making them easy to set up and secure. Give us a call to schedule your installation by a Vivint security expert.

Learn more about DIY vs. professional installation and why we recommend the latter.
Vivint has two kinds of door alarm sensors—the Door and Window Sensor and the Door Sensor. Both are wireless and highly effective, so whichever you select for your home depends on your individual needs and/or preferences.
These door sensors can be further classified by the ways they are placed or installed:
Opening a window will set off an alarm if you’ve installed window sensors and your system is armed. Vivint door and window alarm sensors are home security basics and crucial to a safer, smarter home. They keep you safe from intrusion or theft, and they can even save you money as one of the 6 small smart devices that prevent major property damage.
Vivint carries a wide range of security sensors that cover every entry point. Vivint Door and Window Sensors add an extra layer of protection at entrances, Vivint Motion Sensors alert you to unexpected movement, Vivint Glass Break Detectors let you know if a window’s been broken, and all are monitored around the clock by our award-winning support team.
Learn what types of sensors are the most important to include in your home.
HomeProtect includes a Motion Sensor and 3 Door & Window Sensors. Customers can add on additional Motion Sensors and Door & Window Sensors. HomeProtect Pro customers can add on those same sensors, plus a Water Sensor, Glass Detector, and a Smoke & CO Combo Detector.
Choose Vivint for professional installation and round-the-clock-monitoring.
Protect your property with a camera that actively deters lurkers with light and sound and sends you notifications so you always know what's happening outside your home.
Lock up with the press of a button or right form the Vivint app. With smart locks, you can set your system to arm when you lock the door, and know who's coming and going with unique access codes.
See what happened inside your home, day or night. Watch recorded video to capture break-ins or just relive the day's best moments.

It is a very good device to have with your system because it tells you when your door or window is being opened. It makes you feel secure.

I understand I have door sensors not window sensors. The beeping while I'm home every time I go in and out is annoying. But it is a safety feature and I appreciate it thank you.
