Should you analyse your shock sensors?

[PaulUszak]

I've just run a search for "shock sensor" on this forum, and it returned 117 hits. I've scanned some (not all) and there seems little mention of shock sensor analysers such as https://www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/aritech-gs615-single-zone-analyzer-p-2125.html

There seems much debate (some heated) regarding how good shock sensors are, and whether you should install them on uPVC or otherwise. Are shock sensors any more reliable if you interpose a zone analyser between the sensor and control panel? Has anyone got any direct experience? Are they a waste of time /money /effort?

Modern shock sensor like viper and shock hard do not require an analyser board .
Old style shocks like itec ,which use a ball bearing on rails require an analyser,
Shock sensors are for perimeter protection.
If the sensor is sited correctly and the set correctly then you should have no issues
