Security Essen 2026

Security Essen 2026

Date: 22 to 25 September 2026

Location: Messe Essen, Essen

Stand: 7C35

Overview
Security Essen brings together the European security industry to explore new technologies and practical solutions for modern protection challenges. Join OPTEX Security EMEA to see how advanced sensing technologies deliver accurate, reliable intrusion detection across complex sites. Live demonstrations will show how layered detection supports both perimeter protection and indoor security.

What you will see

• Live demonstrations of OPTEX intrusion detection technologies
• Examples of layered perimeter and building protection
• Real installation scenarios explained by specialists
• Practical guidance for installers, integrators, and security managers

Technologies on display

REDSCAN LiDAR sensors

REDSCAN LiDAR sensors create virtual detection zones using laser measurement technology. The sensor scans the protected area and measures distance across the scene to detect movement and location with high precision.

Installers can define custom detection zones around fences, gates, building facades, roof areas, and open ground. The system analyses object size and position to detect genuine intrusions while filtering environmental disturbances such as animals or moving vegetation.

REDSCAN sensors protect high security locations including data centres, logistics hubs, utilities, and critical infrastructure sites.

FlipX Series indoor detectors

FlipX detectors provide flexible indoor detection through a rotating optical lens system. The lens can be installed in two positions, allowing the same sensor to operate either as a wide coverage detector or as a narrow corridor sensor.

Multiple pyro elements monitor movement across the detection zones. Digital signal processing analyses movement patterns to maintain stable detection and reduce false alarms in busy indoor environments.

FlipX sensors are widely used in offices, corridors, retail spaces, and warehouses.

Shield Series outdoor detectors

The Shield Series includes VXS, BXS, and WXS outdoor detectors designed to protect building approaches and perimeter areas.

VXS detectors provide wide angle coverage for open areas around buildings.
BXS detectors create narrow curtain detection zones along walls and fences.
WXS detectors deliver wide area protection with advanced detection logic.

Each model uses OPTEX detection technology to maintain stable performance in outdoor environments where sunlight, temperature changes, and vegetation movement are common.

FSI fibre sensing solutions

FSI fibre optic sensing protects long perimeters by analysing vibration patterns along a fibre cable installed on a fence or underground. When someone climbs, cuts, or interferes with the perimeter, the system detects the disturbance and identifies the exact location.

Advanced signal processing separates genuine intrusion attempts from environmental noise such as wind or rain. A single system can monitor several kilometres of perimeter.

Fibre sensing is commonly used on large sites including airports, solar farms, energy infrastructure, and industrial facilities.
