Optex

Optex

Optex is a Japanese manufacturer specialising in detection, with a reputation built on outdoor sensors. This is the range to turn to when detection has to take place before the intrusion: at the property boundary, along a façade, in front of a picture window or on a vehicle access.

• Dual PIR outdoor detectors and curtain detectors, wired or wireless
• Perimeter detection: infrared beams and scanning laser sensors
• Indoor detectors, including ceiling-mounted and flush-mounted models
• Vehicle detection and people counting sensors
• Brackets, rack mounting kits and fixing accessories

Two points deserve your attention before ordering. First the type of link: several Optex references exist in a wired version and in a wireless version paired with a dedicated transmitter (VESTA, Dahua, Pyronix or U-PROX depending on the model), so you need to choose the one that matches your control panel. Then the stated range and the coverage angle, which determine how many detectors to allow for: a curtain detector protects a passageway, a volumetric detector covers a volume.
