Optex The Global Leader in Sensing Technologies

With OPTEX, our mission is to usher in a brighter future with a focus on helping to create safety, security, and comfort in societies around the world through the use of our sensing technology. We will continue to identify the potential needs and true issues of society, and propose ways to resolve them while delivering new value using our original ideas and reliable technical capabilities.

Perimeter

The perimeter surrounding your fences or restricted area is a vital zone to secure. Detecting intruders here and deploying an appropriate response can stop situations from escalating to critical conditions. When detected, communications systems and/or security teams may be able to deter intruders from coming closer. The REDSCAN Pro can protect up to 50x100 meters of perimeter, detecting intruders before they have even reached your fence, or allowing you to have an open perimeter that is still secure. For larger perimeters, we recommend integrating FiberSensys, due to its 100km detection range. In this layer, REDSCAN acts as an early warning system, providing a meaningful extension to response time, allowing you to differentiate between accidental and malicious intrusion, and react appropriately.

Approach

The next layer of your security infrastructure is the building itself. With the REDSCAN Pro and REDSCAN Mini, precise detection zones can be set on and/or around all the surfaces of your building, including roofs and skylights. This way you can recieve vital information of exactly where the intruder is attempting to enter the building from, allowing for a quick reaction, both before and during the intrusion. In some situations, knowing the exit point of intruders is even more valuable, triggering alerts, CCTV tracking and more to track intruders throughout your facility. You may want to set triggers for certain access points, such as skylights, windows, door and other entry points. Some of the other great security products we recommend for detecting intruders as they enter/exit buildings include our BX Shield, AX Series, and Smart Line Beam series. If you are unsure which best aligns with your needs, contact us and our experts will explain your options.

Building

Indoor

If intruders do make it inside the building, it's important to be able to track their movements and be aware of attempts to steal or damage valuable assets. Indoor security measures such as lockdown protocols can be triggered through REDSCAN integration, but it doesn’t stop helping there. Both REDSCAN sensors can be used to detect intruders indoors, depending on the size of the perimeter. Many customers choose the REDSCAN Mini for asset protection, to create a custom detection field surrounding assets such as art in galleries, due to its high precision and ability to separate into zones.The REDSCAN Mini is a certified grade 3 security system, which means it is designed and tested to combat advanced thieves and intruders, who may use sophisticated equipment and have formidable intrusion knowledge and skills. The FlipX Series Series is also grade 3 but uses more economical PIR sensors if you are concerned by cost. The REDSCAN Mini can also detect thrown objects as small as 2cm, which has many uses, including the detection of intruders attempting to damage assets by throwing harmful substances.

Datacentres

Datacentres are common targets for criminal activity, whether the threat comes from outside or within. To prevent data breaches or attempted theft, time is critical, and the earlier an intrusion is detected, the better the chances of preventing an incident. OPTEX provides a comprehensive range of security solutions designed for the datacentre industry to accurately detect and prevent unauthorised access, safeguarding sensitive information and infrastructure.

Key Features of Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems

Threat Identification

The system has revolutionized the process of identifying threats, making it simpler and more efficient.

Breach Detection

The system excels in detecting breaches, providing valuable data for investigative purposes.

Intrusion Prevention

Security personnel can swiftly block intrusions by leveraging instant notifications from the security solution.

Privacy Maintenance

The system effectively detects intruders and potential threats, safeguarding the premises and maintaining privacy.

Seamless System Integration

Our perimeter intrusion detection system seamlessly integrates with a diverse range of commonly used security solutions. This enables security teams to access real-time information from multiple devices through a single dashboard. With faster processing, it allows more time to respond to intrusions, facilitates real-time tracking, and serves as a cost-effective and reliable solution with minimal maintenance costs.

Enhanced Data Visualization

The collected data from various devices and sensors can be efficiently utilized to create insightful visualizations. These powerful visualizations aid the security team in effectively managing and making timely decisions. Additionally, cost-effective monitoring systems like CCTV surveillance, access control, and perimeter intrusion detection play a crucial role, particularly when there are on-site workers. This system enables easy tracking of breaches, access control, suspicious behavior, and potential equipment failures.

Accurate Identification

Accurate identification can be done using a biometric security solution. The system is designed for the purpose of recognizing a human face and can be used as a piece of evidence to reduce the risk. A facial recognition system has been used as a measure of security in companies, homes, and workplaces to ensure a safe life and property alike. This kind of system leaves absolutely no way for human errors and is an important part of security. Just by setting the parameters, the system does geometric and photometric recognition within a short period of time.
