Immediate spoken warnings of security violations or messages of advice are automatically issued by the ALO1 security voice unit.
On activation, the ALO1 can deliver either a single 20-second message or one of two ten-second messages.
It is suitable for permanent or temporary locations, inside or outside, when an attendant is not feasible, says Optex Europe. Messages can offer assistance as well as warnings.
“The message recorded will depend on the scenario and the information to be communicated,” Paul Nicholas, Optex divisional manager.
“At a basic level, it is a detection device which will monitor activity inside or outside certain areas of a business premises or domestic property and verbally warn off intruders.
“It can also issue warnings of potential hazards, perhaps to a reversing vehicle on a building site or raising awareness of harmful chemicals.”
Another function is information to visitors arriving at a site, for instance, warning them of rules and restrictions such as ‘no mobile phones’.
“There are a whole host of situations when it is not feasible or cost-effective to have a human being in place, to make announcements and, for these applications, the AL01 offers the perfect alternative,” said Nicholas.
The AL01 has a typical range of 3-4 m when installed at a height of 1.2m and can be rotated on its bracket for easy alignment.
Users can record their own message, use the message supplied with the unit or order with pre-recorded messages from Optex’s library.
Using two 1.5v batteries and based on 20 activations per day, battery life is said to be up to two years. .
