Our microwave sensors detect intrusion attempts by generating an electromagnetic (RF) field and creating an invisible volumetric detection zone. When an intruder enters this detection zone, changes to the field are registered and an alarm occurs.
Our microwave sensors are easy to install, provide high probability of detection, low nuisance alarms and resistance to rain, fog, wind, dust, falling snow and temperature extremes.
