Hikvision AX Hybrid Series DS-PDBG8-EG2 Wired Glass Break Detector, Omni Directional Microphone Sensor, 8M
The Hikvision DS-PDBG8-EG2 is a wired acoustic glass-break detector for AX Hybrid Pro and general hardwired alarm panels. Its omni-directional microphone listens for the two-stage sound of breaking glass - the impact and then the falling shards - and alarms the moment a window or glass door is smashed, before an intruder is even inside.

01Overview
What the DS-PDBG8-EG2 is
The Hikvision DS-PDBG8-EG2 is a wired acoustic glass-break detector for AX Hybrid Pro and other hardwired alarm panels. Instead of waiting for movement inside the room, it listens for the distinctive sound signature of breaking glass and raises the alarm at the point of entry, so a smashed window or glass door is caught immediately.
A high-quality omni-directional microphone covers up to 8m across a 120° spread, with potentiometer-adjustable sensitivity so you can match it to the room. Its digital processing recognises a wide range of glass - float, plate, tempered, wired, laminated leaded and double glazing - from 2.4 to 6.4mm thick and pane sizes from 0.3 x 0.3m up to 3 x 3m.
Being wired, it gives a normally-closed alarm output with selectable end-of-line resistors (1K, 2K2, 4K7, 5K6, 6K8), so the panel can supervise the zone for cut or shorted wiring. It runs on a wide 9-16VDC with reverse-polarity protection and has a front tamper switch. Mount it indoors on a wall or ceiling facing the glass you want to protect. This is the wired model; a wireless DS-PDBG8-EG2-WB is available for hub-based AX PRO systems.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDBG8-EG2
Covers any glass
Recognises float, tempered, laminated, wired and double-glazed glass, so it suits modern and older windows alike.
Supervised wired zone
A normally-closed output with selectable EOL resistors lets the panel watch for cut or shorted cabling.
Wide-voltage and forgiving
9-16VDC with reverse-polarity protection makes for a tolerant, dependable wired install.
05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Shopfronts and showrooms
Protect large glass frontages and display windows where a smash-and-grab is the main risk.
Homes with large windows
Cover lounges, sunrooms and glass doors so a forced window is caught at entry.
Ground-floor offices
Guard street-level glazing and glass partitions out of hours.
Layered protection
Combine with motion detectors so the alarm catches both the break and any movement that follows.
06Setup
Installation & setup
-
01
Where to mount
Fix it indoors on a wall or ceiling within 8m of the glass, with a clear line of sound to the window. Avoid noisy plant rooms.
-
02
Set sensitivity
Adjust the potentiometer to match the distance to the glass for reliable detection without false triggers.
-
03
Wire to the panel
Connect the normally-closed output and tamper to a panel zone, fitting the selectable EOL resistor for your panel.
-
04
Power and test
Apply 9-16VDC, check the LED behaviour, then walk-test with a glass-break simulator before arming.
