REDWALL AX-200TFR is a wireless beam detector with triple tamper functions, low battery output and LED indication, intermittent output function, adjustable beam interruption time, 99% beam blocking stability and IP55 protection.

Fibre-optic technology has proven to be extremely stable and reliable for fence PIDS, detecting intruders attempting to climb over, cut through, or crawl under a perimeter. And although the technology was previously considered prohibitive for small or medium-sized perimeters on the perception that it is too expensive and complicated to install, OPTEX, along with Fiber SenSys Inc, one of its group companies, has designed the RAPID REDFIBER series of affordable and easy-to-install kits, encouraging installers not to compromise on quality.  The packaged systems, or kits, offer cost-effective and high-performance protection in two detection zones, ranging from 75m to 200m each, and also include all the necessary components needed for installation.  Kit choices include two-channel Alarm Processing Units (APU), one including a PoE/IP module that is integrated with most Video Management Software (VMS) and PSIM platforms, the enclosure box, the pre-connected cable cut to fit 75m, 100m, 150m and 200m zones, the necessary ties to mount the cable on a perimeter, and calibration software.  Ricky Miwa, Managing Director of OPTEX Europe, says the technology is highly resistant to extreme weather changes: “Fibre sensing cables are unaffected by harsh environments, including UV radiation, moisture, salt or lightning strikes, and distinguish between genuine intruders and nuisance alarms,” he says.  The RAPID REDFIBER PoE module uses an event code that quickly transmits the alarm or event to the VMS software. As RAPID REDFIBER’s detection system sense an intrusion, the APU activates IP cameras to automatically record an event; whilst the VMS platform ensures any untoward activity can be acted upon immediately.  “RAPID REDFIBER’s proven high performance rate and low maintenance costs combine to create a very low cost of ownership, making it a reliable and economical solution,” Ricky concludes.

Pairing sensors with video for enhanced security There are clear benefits to adding video to a monitored alarm system. It allows to visually verify what has triggered the alarm, have a better understanding of the events and assess what the necessary response should be. Another key benefit is a reduction in false alarms. However, for many companies and homeowners, the main drawback of a full video monitored alarm system is the cost of combining alarm and video surveillance systems and maintaining it.  OPTEX’s award-winning Intelligent Visual Verification solution brings an innovative solution to the alarm monitoring market by offering an easy, cost-effective and secure way to connect intrusion detection sensors and/or panic buttons with ONVIF video devices. The solution consists of an IP gateway, The OPTEX Bridge, and a secure cloud portal and provides fast, secure and audited visual verification to the participating monitoring stations/Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs). How does the solution work? The OPTEX Bridge, available as a four- or 12-channel model enables ONVIF cameras or NVRs to be linked with indoor and outdoor intrusion detectors, panic button and door contacts, mapping the detection zones to the associated cameras. The Bridge is connected to the cloud portal, powered by CheKT, and registered with a participating monitoring centre.  When an alarm is triggered The Bridge transmits the information simultaneously to the monitoring station via the monitored system and to the cloud with the associated video footage. Within seconds, the operator is presented with the pre- and post-event recording and the live view of the site. Depending on the procedures in place, the operator will action the appropriate response or send the footage to the customer for verification and instructions. The customer will access the footage with a clear action of ‘disregard’ or ‘response required’. All events and responses are logged in a clear audited trail. What can be connected to The Bridge? There are two models of The OPTEX Bridge: CKB-304 and CKB-312, which enable to physically pair respectively up to four or 12 indoor/ outdoor intrusion sensors or panic buttons with the same amount of IP cameras. The Bridge can be connected to existing or new systems. To add visual verification, The Bridge’s digital inputs can be connected to IP cameras or DVRs, and for alarm activation, it can be connected to indoor and outdoor motion detectors, alarm panels, panic buttons and door contacts. The relay outputs can be used to switch lighting on, issue a voice warning via a siren or to trigger the opening of a gate. In some retail applications, customers have connected The Bridge to release a smoke cloak in case of burglary. Who is this solution for? The Bridge can be used for many different applications such as monitoring intrusion and personal attacks, to visually verifying when a leak sensor has gone into alarm. Retail, commercial and campus buildings, industrial, warehouses and homeowners too can benefit from a comprehensive visual verification solution.

Accurance 3D is a tailgating and piggybacking detection system that provides an extra layer of access control security. The sensor uses ‘time-of-flight’ technology, and enables a clear mapping of the scene in 3D – with height-colour-coordinated images recognising the shapes easily. Combined with intelligent analytics, Accurance 3D helps to automatically detect unauthorised individuals attempting to gain entry to controlled areas. Depending on specific system requirements, Accurance 3D will instruct the access control mechanism to trigger an alarm or keep the door closed until the unauthorised individual has left, or in a revolving door case reverse the door forcing that individual to exit. Furthermore, any activity such as masking the sensors or concealing yourself under a large object is picked up by the system, with the 3D height-colour-coordinated images detecting untoward activity and preventing access. The ‘time-of-flight’ technology used by the system is unaffected by any lighting conditions and can detect the shape of an object such as a trolley or an individual. The Accurance 3D piggybacking and tailgating detection system can be installed as retrofit or included in a new access control system.
