Hikvision AX PRO Series DS-PDBG8-EG2-WB Wireless Glass Break Detector
The Hikvision DS-PDBG8-EG2-WB is an AX PRO wireless glass-break detector. Its omni-directional acoustic sensor 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-WB is
The Hikvision DS-PDBG8-EG2-WB is a wireless acoustic glass-break detector for AX PRO alarm systems. 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 selectable 2, 4, 6 and 8m 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. A built-in alarm input also lets it carry two wired zones (normally closed, normally open or impulse count) for nearby contacts.
It links to the hub over Tri-X two-way wireless, rated up to 1km in open space, with AES-128 encryption and frequency hopping against interference. Two CR123A batteries give up to five years of standby life, and front and rear tamper switches report tampering. Mount it indoors on a wall or ceiling facing the glass you want to protect.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDBG8-EG2-WB
Covers any glass
Recognises float, tempered, laminated, wired and double-glazed glass, so it suits modern and older windows alike.
Two wired zones built in
Its alarm input adds two hardwired zones, so a nearby contact can report through the same device.
Five-year wireless
Two CR123A batteries and Tri-X two-way wireless mean long life with no cabling to the panel.
§ 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
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.
Set sensitivity
Pick the 2, 4, 6 or 8m sensitivity that matches the distance to the glass for reliable detection without false triggers.
Pair to the hub
Power it up and enrol it to the AX PRO hub by power-up, remote ID or QR code in the Hik-Connect app.
Wire and test
Connect any wired contacts to the built-in input if needed, then walk-test with a glass-break simulator before arming.
