Optex LiDAR security sensor

The award-winning REDSCAN Pro range uses LiDAR technology to create a high-resolution virtual laser wall or plane up to 100m long, delivering ideal intrusion protection for many high-security sites, from utilities such as water treatment, telecommunications, transportation hubs, substations, manufacturing, and logistics to campus-style commercial sites.

With onboard sensing analytics, REDSCAN Pro can analyse the size, speed and distance of moving objects, providing point detection by tracking the X & Y coordinates of the objects. A further advantage of LiDAR technology is that the detection performance is stable at any time without being affected by light, weather changes or temperature. The sensor can operate from -20 to +60 degrees, and when using a heated lens can extend its operating temperature to -40 degree.

Long range and multizone logic detection

The new REDSCAN Pro Series sensors can cover large areas with a high degree of accuracy which remains constant over the entire detection area. The RLS-3060V model provides 30x60m coverage, and the RLS-50100V a 50x100m detection area.

The rectangular detection pattern (instead of fan-shaped) allows seamless protection from corner to corner, ideal for facades, flat roofs of commercial buildings and perimeter structures of large installations.

A key feature of the new LiDAR series is the multizone logic which provides a great level of customisation and flexibility. With just one sensor, customers can create up to eight different detection zones with configurable sensitivity, target size and output, so for instance an immediate alert can be set for restricted areas and a lower sensitivity for lower risk areas.

Versatile installation

REDSCAN Pro sensors can be installed in different ways to adapt to the area or the application required; they can be mounted indoor or outdoor, in a vertical, tilted or horizontal mode. To make the mounting options easy,  the sensor  has a built-in 95 degree adjustment bracket within its housing, so there is no need for accessories.

Assistance camera for easy set up and event reviews

To ease the process of set up and configuration, the REDSCAN Pro series features an integrated panoramic assistance camera, that allows the detection area to be visualised to quickly make any optical alignments. Additionally, the camera module can be used to take pre- and post-alarm images for later verification and if necessary, to assist in re-adjusting the detection area. Up to 500 events can be stored onboard.

The benefits of ONVIF compliance

Through the ONVIF protocol (Profile S), REDSCAN Pro allows alarm outputs and the video stream from the assistance camera to be sent to any ONVIF-compliant network video system or IP network devices. At the same time REDSCAN Pro maintains the REDWALL event codes (REC Codes) so those sites which already have RLS units can easily be updated.

Network Security

Online security is a major concern for the industry, which is why REDSCAN Pro is a PoE+ sensor that complies with HTTPS, SNMPv3, IEEE802.1X protocols. To ensure the device is secure, installers can also set up encryption and high-level authentication to protect against unauthorised access to the device. The sensor performs a constant health check and is equipped with all the features to provide the highest levels of security.

The REDSCAN Pro series includes two models:

• RLS-3060V: with a detection range of 30 x 60 m
• RLS 50100V with a detection range of 50 x 100 m
