Optex REDSCAN
High-performance detection.
Overview
Optex REDSCAN is a range of laser scan detectors (LiDAR) that create a virtual wall or plane of detection. They are highly accurate and can detect the size, speed, and distance of a moving object, allowing them to precisely detect intruders while ignoring other objects or animals. They are used for high-security applications like perimeter protection, roof and skylight protection, and asset protection.
✨ Key Features
- LiDAR-based detection
- Creates a virtual wall, plane, or ceiling
- High accuracy with low false alarms
- Detects object size, speed, and distance
- Indoor and outdoor models
- Can trigger and direct PTZ cameras
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Uses LiDAR for extremely high accuracy and reliability in all lighting conditions
- Ability to create precise, custom detection areas
- Not affected by light, shadows, or temperature changes like video or PIR sensors
Unique Value: Provides virtually error-free intrusion detection by using LiDAR technology, which is immune to the environmental factors that cause false alarms in other systems, making it ideal for mission-critical security.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Creating a virtual wall along a perimeter where a physical fence is not desirable
- Protecting rooftops and skylights from intrusion
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- General indoor room motion detection (where a simple PIR is sufficient)
🏆 Alternatives
Offers significantly higher detection accuracy and lower false alarm rates than video analytics, especially in challenging weather or lighting conditions.
