For what sort of application? A friend with a large auto-racing garage
had vibration sensors mounted on the brick wall to detect break-ins.
They were commercially available alarm sensors (probably run off 12v
dc, dry contact output). There are also commercial glass breakage
detectors. Either might suit your needs, and are durable (the
vibration sensors were in place for ~8 years before they started to
fail). A good alarm supply should have them.
