The new build of Redwatch, which includes Raytec’s LED illumination technology, is claimed to provide guaranteed detection performance, 24 hours a day.
As part of Optex’s Redwall family of external detectors, Redwatch includes a colour/mono camera with a varifocal lens. This is integrated with the PIR, forming what Optex says is the first truly BS8418-compliant, RVRC-required sensor.
“The matched fields of view of camera and detector as required under BS8418 ensure that all sensor activation is verified by the video camera and vice versa, thus dramatically reducing false and unwanted alarm activations and improving the efficiency of the monitored response,” said Nigel Hackett, sales director for Optex’s RVR division.
“The addition of a new IR unit matched precisely to the beam pattern and the camera lens view ensures intruders at night can be properly seen, providing the RVRC operator with good quality images and minimal noise for optimum performance.”
