Abstract: A home security system including vehicle glass breakage detection. A vehicle includes a glass breakage sensor and a wireless link to a home security system. The glass breakage sensor is configured and located in an unobtrusive manner within a vehicle. When the glass breakage sensor detects glass breakage it initiates a signal that causes the wireless link to inform the remainder of the home security system that the vehicle's glass has been broken. In response, the home security system notifies the home owner and a monitoring agency that the vehicle has been broken into.
