The Glassbreak Sensor is tested for your typical house environment. And since it's really a microphone that looks out for a specific sound, acoustics in the space play a big role in how they perform.
As for the Motion Sensors, they're meant for internal spaces. They work through passive infrared - that is, they detect a contrast in temperature moving around. That also means that they can't really work through glass, since it's an insulator. So yours shouldn't trigger from people moving around outside - though you might have trouble with sunlight flickering through trees, etc.
