External Security detectors – pro-active security
Sometimes it may not be inside a property that you want to protect. you may have a yard or outside area that you would like to be protected.
This is where external PIR detection devices are used.
The key word here is external – it is a detector that is designed to be installed in an external location – a standard PIR sensor cannot be used for external security systems.
I like to think of using external movement sensors as a form of pro-active security – providing you with a pre-warning before anybody gets to the protected areas or buildings.
External detectors can be linked to a burglar alarm system, can be twinned with cctv systems and fully functional cameras to enable the cameras to zoom into the protected areas when the external detectors have picked up someone in the protected areas or a simple voice warning system that plays a pre-recorded message should someone enter an area they should not be in!!
In additional to external PIR sensors there are also external beams that provide protection and coverage for external areas. these can provide a variety of detection ranges upto 200 meters in distance.
If you would like any additional information on external dectection devices or external security systems then please fell free to contact us or leave a comment.
