OPTEX launches REDSCAN PRO LiDAR sensor for high accuracy detection

The latest evolution in the award-winning REDSCAN LiDAR series, REDSCAN PRO can accurately detect intruders to a range of 50 metres x 100 metres, without any ‘gaps’ or the detection reliability ‘fading’ with range.

By creating rectangular as opposed to circular (ie fan-shaped) detection patterns, there are no unnecessary overlaps, providing great coverage for virtual wall applications such as façade and fence protection and for virtual planes to cover open areas, ceilings and roofs.

To meet the individual needs of every site, REDSCAN PRO features intelligent multiple zones logic. This means that, for each detection zone, the sensitivity, target size and output can be configured independently, thereby allowing the zone’s risk and location to be adapted and provide maximum capture rate with minimum nuisance alarms.

The sensor’s camera module brings visual assistance for configuration and post-alarm analysis. When an alarm is created, a file is saved with alarm log and video image. It helps security teams reviewing the alarms and checks if any action needs to be taken or if the settings demand to be adjusted.

Mac Kokobo, senior general manager at OPTEX, believes the new REDSCAN PRO series provides the ultimate detection solution. Kokobo stated: “For a decade now we’ve been gathering feedback from our customers on potential applications for LiDAR. The new REDSCAN PRO is the ideal solution for major infrastructure, critical facilities and other high security sites.”

Kokobo continued: “With enhanced configuration flexibility and functionality, REDSCAN PRO allows the end user to do more with less. It’s one device that can deliver and achieve what used to be done by multiple devices.”

REDSCAN PRO features a new design with flexible mounting option (+5 to -95-degree tilt), simple set-up and easy-to-use web configuration. The sensors are also ONVIF Profile S-compliant.

The REDSCAN Pro series includes two models: the RLS-3060V with a range up to 30 metres x 60 metres and the RLS-50100V featuring a range of up to 50 metres x 100 metres. Both models will be available from April 2021.
