which is the best type of tamper switch (optical, Magnetic etc) available with reader in terms of precisely monitor installation ?

I have some readers which has magnetic tamper, it detects when someone removes reader from wall. but,any other type of switch mechanism available which is more secure?

I prefer a mechanical tamper type, like this:

Not all types of tampering can be detected, but this type of contact is a solid dependable way of alerting if a device gets knocked free of a wall or bracket.

Other types of optical tampers are not always foolproof for this, but the mechanical type is solid.

I have installed few Biometric reader which has Magnetic tamper with metal installation backplate and it works fine when reader removes from wall/metal plate.

...it works fine when reader removes from wall/metal plate.

But you think it may not be secure enough?

It works and secure enough but in some installation and product design/Aesthetics, it does not fit well so looking for better alternate.
