Passive IR detection for maximum reliability
A passive IR detector reacts as soon as a major temperature change is detected within its field of view. This means that rain, snow, wind or bushes do not affect detection, only people and larger animals. The IR light is invisible to the human eye, which means that the detection cannot be detected in advance.
Battery-powered detector
The Optex VXI-R is a highly capable IR detector that runs on battery power. This greatly increases the freedom of installation and eliminates the need to worry about drawing power. Battery life is also nothing to worry about as the batteries last four to six years under normal conditions. All that is needed is to run a cable between the detector and an IP camera to easily get reliable alarms.
Digital signal processing for maximum reliability
To prevent the detector from triggering unnecessary alarms, a highly sophisticated digital logic model has been included. This means that movement from hot trees or sharp changes in temperature will not trigger an alarm. In addition to a smart system to screen out animal movement, there is also a dual beam filtering system where only what is in both beams is detected.
Forget false alarms for small animals, weather and wind
The IR detector has a built-in solution to not alarm smaller animals such as rabbits, cats and small dogs. It is also resistant to alarms caused by weather or swaying trees. This means that the number of false alarms can be reduced to a very low level and you can be sure that an alarm is actually an alarm.
Easy to install
The detector is attached at a convenient height of about one metre from the ground. The angle is adjusted intuitively by simply turning the inner casing and thus detecting the desired area. If there are areas to be excluded, one of the supplied masking patches is used to fit the desired detection pattern. In addition, the detection distance can be easily adjusted in five steps if 12 metres is too far.
