Explore the new capabilities of sensors
Motion sensors are a mainstay of alarm systems and intrusion detection. At Hoosier Security we take advantage of a wide range of professional devices on the market – passive infrared, ultrasonic, microwave and dual technology, to provide the best detection performance for your home or business.
Both hardwired and wireless detectors have experienced numerous improvements over the last few years. These aesthetic and unobtrusive devices include sophisticated advanced signal processing and pet alleys or virtual detection pathways that prevent false triggering. Anti-masking features address vandalism and attempts to disable devices or cover optics, sending a trouble signal to the central monitoring facility. Strong signal strength allows for wireless signals to penetrate even concrete structures, making them perfect for a facility where running cables and digging or trenching might be cost-prohibitive. Longer read ranges also make sensors and detectors suitable for applications such as parking facilities or gated communities.
Other new enhancements include the encryption of signals and anti-jamming to prevent cyber-attacks and system compromise. Some detectors may also use multi-channel, frequency hopping spread spectrum to ‘hop’ between open communications channels so there’s less likelihood that they can be hacked or taken out of service.
With this enhanced reliability and stability comes additional possibilities for specification. In commercial facilities, detectors can penetrate the thickest walls and operate among heavy machinery or in industrial manufacturing locations without additional signal repeaters. And increasingly, Hoosier Security can help you leverage sensors in automation solutions – to detect occupancy and trigger HVAC and regulate energy management controls. There are also sensors to detect standing water, excess humidity and temperature variations above preset or compliance-regulated levels.
Hoosier Security always provides expert consultation so you can take advantage of innovation in sensors and detectors and boost the level of physical security while adding new data intelligence to operations and processes. We know how to skillfully integrate and custom design, so you have the most efficient and effective system that addresses your needs and challenges.
