Securing Swimming Pools with the OPTEX REDSCAN LiDAR Series

Swimming pools provide a refreshing escape year-round, whether they're at a private residence, hotel complex, or public recreation center. However, they can also be vulnerable to intrusions. From trespassers seeking a late-night swim to individuals with more malicious intent, having a dependable security system in place is crucial for protecting your pool area.

The OPTEX REDSCAN LiDAR Detector Series offers a powerful and reliable solution for swimming pool security. These LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) detectors utilize time-of-flight technology to create precise detection zones around your pool. By bouncing laser pulses off objects and measuring the time it takes for the light to return, LiDAR technology in the REDSCAN models excels at distinguishing real threats from false alarms, unlike traditional motion detectors susceptible to shadows or small animals.

REDSCAN Pro: Advanced Long-Range Protection

The REDSCAN Pro is a great option for larger pool areas. It can detect intruders at a range of up to 330 feet (100 meters), which means it can cover your entire pool area and beyond. The REDSCAN Pro also features multiple detection zones, so you can customize the sensitivity and target size for each zone. This means you can create a more sensitive zone around the pool itself and a less sensitive zone around the perimeter. To further enhance security and incident verification, the REDSCAN Pro also integrates a built-in camera. This camera captures images or video footage upon triggering an alarm, providing valuable visual evidence for security personnel.

REDSCAN mini-Pro: Compact and Versatile

The REDSCAN mini-Pro is a compact and versatile option perfect for outdoor or indoor pools. It can detect intruders at a range of up to 100 feet (30 meters). The REDSCAN mini-Pro also features a built-in FHD camera, so you can visually verify any alarms.

Benefits of Using REDSCAN LiDAR Detectors for Pool Security

• Accurate Detection with X & Y Coordinate Tracking: Leveraging time-of-flight technology, both REDSCAN models provide highly accurate detection, including real-time tracking of an intrusion's X and Y coordinates. This precise information allows security personnel to pinpoint the exact location of a threat and take immediate action.

• Reduced False Alarms: Unlike traditional motion detectors susceptible to shadows or small animals, LiDAR technology excels at distinguishing real threats from false alarms.
• Long-Range Protection: The REDSCAN Pro offers extended coverage for larger pool areas, while the REDSCAN mini-Pro remains effective in smaller spaces.

• Customizable Detection Zones: Both models allow you to customize sensitivity and target size for each detection zone, enabling you to tailor your security system to your specific needs.

• Visual Monitoring: The REDSCAN mini-Pro features a built-in camera for visual verification of alarms. The REDSCAN Pro can also integrate with external cameras for further verification options.

• ONVIF Profile S Compliant: Both REDSCAN models are ONVIF Profile S compliant, ensuring seamless integration with compatible Network Video Management Systems (VMS) or other IP devices for centralized monitoring and control.

The OPTEX REDSCAN LiDAR Detector Series offers a powerful and reliable solution for year-round poolside protection. This advanced technology goes beyond traditional motion detectors, ensuring accurate detection and reduced false alarms. With long-range coverage and customizable zones, REDSCAN provides the peace of mind you need to know your pool area is secured.
