The VXI Series is OPTEX’s best-selling outdoor intrusion detection range, trusted across thousands of residential and commercial installations worldwide.

Designed for 90° short-range approach detection up to 12m, VXI helps protect driveways, gardens, side passages, entrances, patios, courtyards and building approaches before an intruder reaches the property.

The series uses a digital microprocessor to analyse infrared signals received by the sensor. This helps distinguish human movement from common outdoor causes of nuisance alarms, such as sunlight, animals, vegetation movement and changing weather conditions.

With PIR, dual-technology, wired, wireless and anti-masking models available, VXI gives installers flexible options for different site layouts, risk levels and system types.

VXI is a strong choice for high-end residential and commercial sites where reliable outdoor detection, flexible model selection and false alarm reduction are essential.

Early detection around the property

VXI protects doors, windows, garden approaches and side paths before an intruder reaches the building.

Stable outdoor performance

Designed for outdoor conditions, VXI helps reduce unwanted alarms from sunlight, rain, wind, pets and moving vegetation.

Flexible range options

The series includes wired, wireless, anti-masking and dual-tech models, giving installers options for residential, commercial and higher-risk sites.

FAQ

The detection length can be adjusted to 12m, 8.5m, 6m, 5.5m or 2.5 metres. The VXI will also come with pre-cut masking templates to focus on a particular section of the detection area.

It is important to make sure the VXI is mounted correctly between 0.8 and 1.2 metres because if it is mounted lower or higher than this, it will not detect reliably or accurately. When the mounting process is complete, the lower pyro can then be adjusted between settings 1 to 5 in order to match the required detection area. The sensor range can be adjusted between 2.5 and 12 metres.

It is important to note that each installation is unique, so when you install a detector you need to walk test it to confirm it is detecting where it is supposed to be. Remember to replace the lens before walk testing or you will not achieve the full range.

The maximum detection area of the VXI is a 90 degree detection angle covering 12 metres. The VXI detector comes complete with a set of masking seals, each of which have pre-configured templates. The masking seals work well in tight environments where the standard detection area is too large. By selecting and fixing the correct seal for the environment, the VXI will no longer alarm on areas which could cause nuisance alarms such as public walkways.
