High-end residential security systems need to address many threats, keeping families, their homes and their possessions safe. Detecting the presence of trespassers or intruders early is essential in giving enough time to determine an appropriate response. OPTEX is an expert in outdoor and indoor intrusion detection and offers a wide range of reliable sensing technologies which are at the heart of an effective security solution.
OPTEX perimeter security sensors are designed to provide outstanding detection performance outdoors, in any weather and lighting conditions, and are tolerant to small animals. A choice of intrusion detectors is available to suit different types of perimeter layouts and levels of security required.
Infrared beams can be mounted on top of a fence or wall to enhance security and detect anyone climbing over it. The versatile REDSCAN Pro LiDAR sensors allow virtual walls and planes to be created to detect loitering, enabling users to set precise detection ‘zones’ and integrate those zones with CCTV.
Our fibre optics fence intrusion sensors are designed for harsh weather conditions and will detect if an intruder is trying to cut, climb over or even crawl under a boundary fence.
Low- and high-mount volumetric PIRs provide wide-angle protection and are ideal for protecting everything from open gardens to busy patios. Equipped with OPTEX’s unique detection algorithm the sensors can adapt to their environment and are tolerant to small animals, keeping false alarms to a minimum even in gardens with pets or wildlife. High-mount PIRs are perfect if the terrain is irregular.
REDSCAN LiDAR sensors can create a virtual plane that can be used to protect an open area or create specific warning areas, for example around a swimming pool.
With the increasing demand for alarm visual verification, OPTEX offers Intelligent Visual Monitoring solutions that enable external sensors to be paired with any ONVIF video device and connected to a Cloud portal to provide a fast, secure and audited visual verification solution.
OPTEX curtain motion detectors and LiDAR detectors can create a thin virtual layer of protection across the entire building, reliably alerting if an intruder is standing by the door, looking through a window, crawling on the roof or placing a ladder against the wall. Sensors can activate lights, a siren, CCTV cameras and more or send a signal to security guards, or emergency services, helping to deter intruders and keep property and people safe.
OPTEX intrusion detection sensors have the intelligence to ignore smaller animals and to adapt to the environment providing reliable intrusion detection even in locations prone to weather or temperature changes, or false alarms caused by swinging branches or even shadows.
OPTEX vehicle detectors can detect vehicles at a speed from 2 to 20 km/h, and the gates are set to open as they approach. Using both microwave and ultrasonic detection the sensor accurately detects cars, vans, motorbikes and other vehicles made with less ferrous materials, while ignoring people.
For protection at night when the family is asleep, or during the day when the house may be empty, it is important that the motion sensors are not triggered for the wrong reasons. OPTEX indoor sensors have been designed to provide extra stability and maximum performance, featuring digital Quad Zone logic to distinguish between humans and small animals, such as cats and mid-size dogs or if an insect is on the lens.
Our sensors can be added to any alarm panels, and comply with internationally-recognised police and security response requirements.
