Beam detection (often referred to as Active Infrared Beam Detection) is an established and reliable form of perimeter intruder detection suitable for both indoor and extreme outdoor applications. With a range of 10m to 200m they can be used to cover greater distances than passive space detection. Protecting the perimeter of your premises offers advanced warning of unauthorised access and therefore a quicker response to an intrusion attempt subsequently reducing the risk to people or valuable assets.
Active infrared beams utilise point to point detection to provide a high level of security for many commercial applications, for example: external perimeters or fence lines, large internal perimeters such as warehousing and sports halls, windows and large glazed areas, roller shutters or loading bays or to protect a cordoned off area such as a display in a museum.
