OPTEX Europe launches iVision+ intercom system, keeping property owners/users in the picture

OPTEX Europe has launched a new Wireless Video Intercom System that scales from an easy to install intercom system to a more complex solution enabling remote door release, giving installers a more reliable and flexible access solution to address their customers’ requirements. The iVision+ wireless system comprises a convenient wireless handheld unit with LCD monitor and a wireless doorbell/camera unit with over 100 meters (330ft.) transmission range, line of sight. The handheld units can be housed within a wall mountable charging cradle that can be installed at any convenient point around the property. A particular innovation is the system’s ability to see who’s at the door when you’re at home or in the office, and to record images of who called when you’re out. The new technology contains a micro-USB port PC connection which gives property users the ability to download and view images taken automatically from the inbuilt 2.4inch LCD monitor. By using an additional gateway unit, an installer can also connect the intercom system to the electronic door, such that the iVision+ handheld unit can be then used as door release. iVision+ can be extended to a system accommodating two door units and four handsets. The door units operate within a temperature range of -20 to +40 degrees centigrade and have a 12-month battery life expectancy. Although wireless, they can be hard wired if required.

Optex BXS-RAM (W) Wireless curtain outdoor PIR

The BX Shield is a series of curtain outdoor motion sensors with up to 12m detection range on each side. Ideal for the detection of people in the immediate boundary of your home or office building, the outdoor detectors feature four PIRs, two on each side. The left and right detection area can be set up completely independently from each other. The BXS-RAM is the wireless bi-colour model with anti-masking.  Independent left/right motion detection The outdoor motion sensor’s detection range, sensibility and alarm output can be set independently on the left and the right. The detection distance can easily be set at 2.5m, 3.5m, 6m, 8.5m to 12m on each side, and the sensitivity can be set from low to extremely high, detecting as small a difference in temperature as 1 degree Celsius. The BX Shield can be easily connected to a fixed dome CCTV camera to send a visual alarm when people enter the immediate boundary of the premises. Versatile design  The BX Shield curtain sensor has been designed with the user in mind. A 90-degree unlocking system allows easy access to the settings area, while a spirit level helps to fix the sensor on straight. Black and silver face covers are available, enabling the outdoor curtain sensor to blend into its environment. Four PIRs in one sensor Why two PIR in each side? - To offer the best performance needed in an outdoor environment. On each side, the BX Shield motion sensor features two passive infrared beams; one pointing towards the floor and one pointing away from the sensor. Both beams need to trigger to confirm the detection. This system will ignore small to medium-sized animals such as dogs and detect only people.  Applications Buildings Perimeters Approach House Key features Wireless curtain PIR up to 12m per side with anti-masking Completely independent detection setting Versatile and easy-to-install design Not affected by environment or small animals Connect to new or existing wireless alarm panel The BXS-RAM is a battery-powered sensor (no cabling requested) in which most wireless transmitters available in the market can be fitted. This enables the sensor to connect to an existing or new wireless alarm panel.  The anti-masking function ensures that if the alarm panel will be notified if someone has sprayed, covered the sensor or changed its position.
