PIR (passive infra-red) detectors were recently used to secure a large clothing warehouse in Bedford that had been prone to regular break-ins.
The insurers required early warning that specifically detected potential break-ins through side walls. The client looked at using vibration sensors but these would have been placed every few metres horizontally and vertically, meaning that several hundred would be needed. The client simply did not have the budget for this, so Tensor designed a system based on Panasonic and X-Vision cameras, EyeLynx’s SharpView for CCTV recording and Genesis PIR detectors from Luminite. Instead of hundreds of vibration detectors, half a dozen Genesis PIR detectors were used on the warehouse. The detectors alert the SharpView network recorder which sends the Panasonic cameras to the pre-set covering the area of intrusion.
Graham Creek, Managing Director of Luminite said: ‘In this current financial climate, not all businesses have a large security budget. We are delighted that Genesis PIR detectors satisfied the strict specifications from the Insurers at a fraction of the price of several hundred vibration detectors. Our continued collaboration with EyeLynx’s SharpView security software is proving seamless and cost effective for the end user.’
Luminite offers a full security detection package encompassing PIR detectors (both hard wired and wireless), active infra-red beams and security cameras.
