Securing glass windows/ doors

I'm about to put some door/ windows sensors to the doors showing to our terrace (in total three doors + five windows).

My question: how are you guys securing this?
I mean, it's ok to put the door/ windows sensors but they will trigger only by opening the door.
What about if the glass window is being crushed/ breaked/ smashed and the "bad guys" aren't trying to open the door but to enter thru the hole where the glass was?

Well, one will say: vibration sensors. But are any of them in the wild apart of the multisensors (like the Fibaro, Aeotec ones)?
I've tried to put such a multisensor showing towards to the terrace (also for motion sensing) but I had a lot of "false alarms" because of the light rays, cats running by night, and whatever.

I would be interested to know what do you suggest?

Thanks a lot!

I know there are such things as glass break sensors, but I don't know of any that work directly with any of the technologies that Indigo supports. Maybe via an Alarm Panel?

[MODERATOR NOTE] moved to a more appropriate forum.

Many home alarm systems use a glass break sensor for just this kind of attack. I have one in my house and I'm guessing that if I had my alarm panel connected to Indigo I could activate things based on it. I believe mine is a z-wave device, but don't know for sure. Even if it is, I don't know if Indigo supports it.

There are glass break sensors (wired) that you could connect to fibaros universal sensor, either acoustic or vibration. But is it worth it?
Where I live Modus Operandi would be to smash the glass, open window/door and enter. The risk of injuries and all that...

Not that attraktive to look at, used one for testing with HC2

Thanks for your feedback!

I've found the same Vision sensor andarv found, but they are not cheap...
Plus the door/ windows sensors in case the door are being opened...
Hmmm...

Have to look for another solution, because I don't have yet an alarm system - want to do this only with Indigo.

What do you think about a vibration sensor placed in the proximity of these windows? Will it detect the vibration of broken glass?

@Jay: thanks for moving this to the right forum!

UPDATE: Or maybe something wit Karl's Arduino/ PiBeacon plugin and piezo sensors?
