Can an Intruder use a Magnet to disarm the Entry Sensor?
It would be very difficult for someone to disarm the system using a spare magnet. The Entry Sensor will be triggered as soon as the sensor and magnet are moved more than 2" away from each other. Theoretically, the intruder would have to know the exact placement of your Entry Sensor and be able to reach in while the door/window is open less than 2" inches. They would then have to hold their magnet up to the sensors while opening said door/window which would be very hard to do especially if you have your sensor placed high up on the door/window. We have actually had some of our Team Members as well as engineers who worked on the system attempt to do this and none were able to successfully accomplish this.
The best way to ensure that no intruder would ever be able to attempt this in your home is by placing the Entry Sensor at the top of your door/window instead of the side. In addition you can also place a Motion Sensor near said door/window for extra protection.
