Motion Detectors

A motion detector is a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) device that provides cost effective trap protection for open areas.  PIR devices are used in hallways, entry ways and large rooms.  PIR's can also provide object or back-up perimeter protection.

PIR's stabilize to the infrared energy level in the protected area.  An intruder entering a protected area causes a rapid change in the infrared energy level causing the sensor to activate the alarm circuit.  PIR's will not penetrate construction materials, including glass.  Because the device senses a change in heat, it should be placed away from sunlight, heaters, heat-producing machines, fire places, air-conditioners, and other temperature altering devices.

Dual Technology Detectors

Dual technology detectors provide reliable, economical protection for areas that are false alarm prone, thus building confidence in the detection system.  Dual technology detectors are used in areas where environmental conditions may create false alarms for other detectors.

Dual technology detectors combine passive infrared detection with microwave detection technologies.  They are designed to provide an alarm signal only if an intruder trips both types of detection technologies.  Dual technology sensors reduce that chance of false alarms that are due to environmental conditions.

Pet Tolerant Detectors

Pet motion detectors are designed much like the detectors mentioned above, except that they allow pets, usually between 40 and 100 pounds to roam free without interfering with the system.
