Established in 1997, Scunthorpe-based Eyewatch is an SIA Approved Contractor and provides North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and Yorkshire with security alarm monitoring and security guarding services.
Dean Bolton – the company’s managing director – explained to SMT Online: “As the business has expanded, we’d begun to outgrow our original site. With this comes a greater need for increased security, so I conducted a review of the existing intruder alarm system and the layout of the new location before we moved.”
The company has now designed a solution for its new site that combines both internal MX40, external HX BoundaryGard and VX402 detectors.
Upgraded detectors inside and out
Completed at the beginning of January, the new security set-up is working without any glitches or false alarms. Bolton continued: “Not only have we upgraded the detectors outside the office building to VX402s and an HX BoundaryGard, but we’ve also added five MX40s to the interior of the building. We have always felt our premises to be secure, but we now feel even more confident when we lock up at night.”
The MX Series combines state-of-the-art microwave and PIR technologies in attractive, easy-to-install units, in turn underlining Optex’s absolute commitment to provide sensors with unprecedented reliability and detection performance.
The MX Series incorporates patented anti-crosstalk technology which prevents false alarms caused by microwave interference when several sensors are operating in the same area. It also boasts Quad Zone Logic, which discriminates between humans and other sources of infrared.
High vertical zone density
Paul Nicholas – sales manager for Optex Europe – added: “The highly accurate and reliable detection pattern of the MX40 ensures that sensitivity is maintained through the entire detection area, even in low contrast environments. Quad Zone Logic creates an extremely high vertical zone density, two or three times the size of conventional PIRs.”
Nicholas added: “These taller zones capture the entire body mass and enable detection of even the smallest temperature contrast against the background. In addition, the vertical detection density has been improved to take into account dead zones created by furniture or partitions.”
