OPTEX’s UK team will be exhibiting at The Security Event to showcase its latest innovations in advanced intrusion detection technology, including its multi-award-winning REDSCAN LiDAR series, through a series of live demonstrations.

REDSCAN LiDARs

For high-security sites, OPTEX will demonstrate the precision and accuracy of its award-winning REDSCAN LiDARs. Extremely reliable, the sensors can be mounted horizontally to create high-resolution virtual laser planes to protect roofs and skylights, or vertically to create virtual laser walls to protect narrow spaces and high-value assets. 

Various models, providing short and long-range detection, will be showcased live, including the latest addition to the series, REDSCAN mini-Pro, which provides an extra layer of security intelligence by including a built-in IR camera for ultra-fast visual verification.

EchoPoint™ Distributed Acoustic Sensors (DAS)

The sensors utilise intelligent detection algorithms to provide point detection of +/- 6m

For large perimeters such as airports, logistic centres, solar farms, and critical infrastructure sites, OPTEX will demonstrate its latest evolution in fibre optic sensing solutions, EchoPoint™ Distributed Acoustic Sensors (DAS).

The sensors utilise intelligent detection algorithms to provide point detection of +/- 6m in a range of up to 100km, with the ability to be operated across multiple applications installed on fences above ground, buried, or in a hybrid layout.  

Intrusion detectors 

At the stand, OPTEX will also showcase its wide range portfolio of intrusion detectors for commercial premises. This will include showing the versatility and accuracy of the FlipX series which features a bespoke pyroelectric sensor for increased detection performance that adapts to the human shape. 

FlipX effectively gives installers ‘two sensors in one’ to satisfy multiple customer demands. By simply rotating the lens through 180°, the sensor can be used to protect narrow or long areas such as a hallway or warehouse aisle up to 18m, or a wide, open area like a living room or retail store up to 12m at 85°. 

Sensing and detection technologies

Lawrence Peters, OPTEX Head of Sales – UK and Ireland, says The Security Event provides the ideal opportunity to engage with partners and customers from across the UK security industry, “Throughout the event, we will be running engaging and interactive live demonstrations on the stand,” he says.

Visitors will be able to see and experience how our portfolio of pioneering sensing and detection technologies including LiDAR, fibre optic, passive infrared, and visual verification as well as our latest developments in smart connectivity for security and surveillance systems, can be utilised to provide highly accurate and reliable detection within a multi-layered security system to suit the specific needs of a variety of environments.”
