OPTEX, the pioneering global sensor manufacturer, will be showcasing its latest solutions in advanced intrusion detection technology for the African market at Securex South Africa 2024.
For commercial and residential sites, OPTEX’s external and internal sensor range will feature on the stand. The new indoor sensor FlipX features a pyroelectric sensor that adapts to the human shape to provide highly accurate detection performance. Thanks to its innovative lens that can rotate through 180°, the sensors can be utilised to protect both narrow and long spaces, and wide, open areas, providing the power and intelligence of two sensors in one. For long-range, commercial applications included within the OPTEX portfolio of fibre optic-based detectors are the EchoPoint™ and Fibre Defender.
EchoPoint™ Distributed Acoustic Sensors (DAS) provide point detection of ±6 m in a range of up to 100 km, making them the ideal solution for protecting high-security sites such as critical infrastructure facilities, solar farms, mines, and airports.
Fiber Defender is a four-zone, fibre-optic intrusion detection sensor for medium to large commercial and critical infrastructure sites with perimeters of up to 5 km. The series utilises an algorithm, monitoring environmental conditions and noise which dynamically adjusts the signal helping to reject unwanted alarms from wind and traffic.
OPTEX’s high-security portfolio also includes its award-winning REDSCAN LiDAR range. The sensors can be mounted horizontally to create high-resolution virtual laser planes to protect roofs and skylights, or vertically helping to create virtual perimeters, protect narrow spaces and high-value targets. The latest in the series, REDSCAN mini-Pro, will also be exhibited, highlighting its extra layer of security intelligence with its built-in IR camera for visual verification.
