Perimeter detection is a crucial first step in securing commercial properties by identifying threats early to prevent damage or loss. OPTEX solutions establish virtual perimeters using infrared beams or LiDAR technology, ideal for sites without physical barriers like industrial parks or dealership lots. These systems can be scheduled to allow access during business hours and monitor after hours, with wireless active infrared beams covering up to 650 feet per line. REDSCAN LiDAR sensors create customizable virtual walls extending up to 330 feet per direction, filtering by object size, speed, and movement direction. For properties with fences or walls, IR beams and LiDAR monitor these boundaries to detect climbing or crossing attempts.

Monitoring building approaches is vital for early detection of suspicious activity and potential threats. OPTEX outdoor sensors alert your team to movement in key exterior areas, enabling quick and effective response. While video surveillance is common, cameras alone can miss threats in low light or bad weather conditions. The REDWALL SIP series complements cameras by detecting motion across coverage areas ranging from 100 x 65 feet to narrow zones of 330 x 10 feet, perfect for alleyways and wide open spaces. For shorter-range needs, the WXS series provides 180° detection up to 80 feet with separate left and right zones, while the HX series offers long, narrow coverage from high mounts, ideal for service lanes and building exteriors.

Protecting every entry point including back doors, windows, balconies, and rooftops is essential for commercial buildings. OPTEX sensors secure these vulnerable areas with precise detection, using outdoor curtain-style detectors to monitor narrow zones along walls and doorways, and infrared beams to detect climbing on balconies or ledges. REDSCAN LiDAR sensors create customizable virtual walls that monitor detailed movement on facades and rooftops, covering areas up to 165 by 330 feet and providing effective protection for skylights and roof structures. These solutions deliver reliable, real-time alerts to help prevent unauthorized access and ensure comprehensive site security.

Protecting interior spaces is just as critical as securing the perimeter. OPTEX solutions like the FlipX Series and Accurance OV-102 provide layered protection across hallways, sensitive zones, and high-security areas. The FlipX Series features a unique 180° rotatable lens for tailored detection, wide coverage for open spaces or narrow beams for corridors and entry points. For areas requiring strict access control, the Accurance OV-102 Anti-Tailgating System detects tailgating, cross-entry, and multiple occupancy scenarios with precision, helping ensure that only authorized personnel gain access.

Efficient, secure access starts at the door. OPTEX sensors like the OAM-Explorer enhance industrial entrances by combining microwave activation with infrared safety in a single unit. These sensors promote smooth traffic flow while helping prevent accidents in fast-paced environments. Additional features like remote configuration via smartphone and external device control improve both safety and energy efficiency. Their adaptability makes them a valuable solution for facilities with high traffic or specialized entry requirements.

Controlling vehicle entry doesn’t have to involve underground loops. OPTEX's above-ground presence sensors like the OVS-02GT use advanced radar to reliably detect vehicles of all sizes, without the need to cut, core, or drill into concrete. Designed to withstand extreme weather, they deliver consistent performance in any environment. These sensors can filter out or detect human movement as needed, making them a smart solution for gates, loading docks, and restricted lots. Their fast, non-invasive installation reduces downtime while supporting efficient and secure traffic flow.
