Smarter Installations Through Partnership
Every site is different. Whether it’s a residential property, a logistics hub, or a critical infrastructure facility, they all present distinct challenges for security professionals. Selecting the right technology, designing the right layouts to avoid nuisance alarms, and ensuring seamless integration are not simple tasks, and they should not be faced alone.
At OPTEX, we do more than manufacture detection technologies. We work alongside installers, engineers, system integrators, consultants and distributors to make sure every project is designed, specified, and delivered to the highest standard. From selected the right solution to providing training and ongoing support, we are here to help you build smarter and more resilient security systems.
Choosing the Right Technology
The first question in any project is often: What is the best product for this application?
With OPTEX’s wide-ranging portfolio spanning outdoor PIRs, LiDAR, fibre optic detection, and vehicle sensors, the choice can feel complex. Each technology has its own strengths and is tailored to specific conditions. Making the wrong choice can lead to redesigns, unnecessary costs, and dissatisfied clients.
That is why our experts are here to support you from the beginning of the specification process. Whether it is:
• Perimeter protection with fibre optics or long-range PIRs and LiDAR
• Approach detection using outdoor PIR and microwave sensors
• Interior protection with ceiling-mounted multi-layer sensors
• Special applications like vehicle detection or rooftop monitoring
OPTEX helps match the right product to the right application, every time.

Collaborating with distributors, integrators, installers and end users, I draw on my experience in perimeter security to ensure the right solution for every application. What I enjoy most is guiding clients through their options so they can make confident, informed decisions.
Designing for Performance
Even the best sensor underperforms if it is not positioned correctly. Height, angles, terrain, vegetation, reflections, and lighting conditions can all affect detection.
OPTEX design support ensures maximum performance by:
• Reviewing site plans and identifying vulnerabilities
• Advising on placement, coverage, and mounting
• Highlighting potential false alarm triggers
• Suggesting complementary technologies to strengthen coverage
The result is systems that perform reliably from day one with fewer call-backs and greater client confidence.
Supporting Complex Projects
For larger, or more challenging, environments such as airports, utilities, and logistics hubs, security consultants often need full design input. OPTEX provides:
• Layered security strategies covering perimeter, approach, and interior
• Detailed detection maps showing coverage across varied terrains
• Integration advice to ensure smooth operation with VMS, PSIM, or access control
By embedding detection into the wider security architecture, OPTEX helps deliver robust and standards-compliant solutions.
Building Skills and Knowledge
Technology keeps evolving. To stay ahead, installers, system integrators, consultants and distributors need to grow their knowledge too. OPTEX invests in training that combines practical skills with professional development:
• Hands-on training at OPTEX training centres
• Convenient online and virtual sessions
• CPD-accredited courses for consultants and specifiers
This ensures professionals not only understand the technology but also how to configure, deploy, and maintain it in the real world.

Not one day is the same. I love the custom build beam towers, knowing that these have been specifically designed for one site, and knowing towers I’ve built are helping to secure a facility and enhance safety gives me great pride in my work.
End-to-End Support
Our involvement does not stop at product selection. We provide support throughout the entire project lifecycle:
• Pre-sales consultations
• On-site or remote commissioning assistance
• Troubleshooting with direct access to specialists
• Regular updates and innovation briefings
With OPTEX, you are never left on your own.
Real-World Success
• Warehouse yard: Long-range PIRs and LiDAR secured entrances and open spaces, with OPTEX design input reducing blind spots and false alarms.
• Residential estate: Fiber optics and PIRs w ere integrated with VMS, supported by OPTEX to ensure seamless video verification.
• Utilities facility: CPD-accredited input helped consultants meet compliance while justifying investment in a robust layered system.
Effective security installations need more than good products. They demand intelligent design, skilled implementation, and ongoing support. That is what OPTEX delivers.
With OPTEX as your partner, you are not just installing sensors, you are creating smarter, stronger, and more resilient security solutions.
