Optex are preparing for a busy Security Essen show, where the sensor technologies company will demonstrate how the different detection technologies can improve security systems.

Optex are showcasing new firmware for 2D Lidar scanners, with models now ranging from less than 20m to a 100m pre-warning zone, along with a new PIR to add to our outdoor intrusion range.

For residential applications, they will be exhibiting the newly launched Shield PIR series that feature a volumetric 12m 90-degree model and a 12 side curtain PIR series, both with a versatile design with multiple housing options. The company will also be previewing new 180-degree outdoor PIRs, the WXI series, which will be launched in Europe soon.

Multi-layered intrusion detection

At their stand, there will be multi-layered intrusion detection capabilities for commercial premises and critical infrastructure sites. It will demonstrate, for example, how a fenced perimeter can be protected using fibre optic sensors from our sister company, FiberSensys.

Virtual perimeter walls can be generated by using OPTEX’s REDSCAN laser-scan detectors

Alternatively, ‘virtual’ perimeter walls can be generated by using OPTEX’s REDSCAN laser-scan detectors; the newly launched RLS-3060SH version 8 enables detection up to 100m in vertical mode.

This extended range of 2D LiDAR sensors, which can create a virtual wall or plane, now features the new software and firmware version 8, with the RLS-3060SH model now featuring a pre-warning zone that can detect 50m in horizontal mode and 100m (50m each side) in vertical mode.

Indoor and outdoor premise protection

The Optex team will also be on hand to demonstrate the compact version of the 2D LiDAR scanner suitable for indoor and outdoor applications to protect assets and premises, their pre-built towers and long range PoE/IP sensors that are integrated with VMS and PSIM platforms including Ela-soft.

For long range applications, Optex’s motion sensors, the SIP series, are capable of detecting objects in an area of 100x4m or 50x30m and provide three independent zones that can drive camera positions.

Visitors to Security Essen can meet OPTEX EMEA management, sales, technical and marketing teams at Booth 5B48 in Hall 5, as well as on the stand of integrated VMS partner, Genetec at Hall 5, stand 5G30.
