Optex Motion Detectors and Sensors

Optex builds detection hardware: passive infrared and dual technology motion detectors for indoors and outdoors, photoelectric beams and the towers that hold them, request to exit and activation sensors for automatic doors, and vehicle, laser scan and video intercom products. Browse the full Optex catalog below, or shop intrusion detection sensors and automatic door sensors.

Indoor Detectors

Indoor sensors cover ceiling mount and wall mount bodies. Ceiling detectors give 360 degree coverage, with a zoom function and a triple-element detection pattern on one model and a spherical lens on another. Wall mount detectors use patented Quad Zone Logic and Multi-Focus technology for long range commercial and industrial rooms, with dual technology models combining microwave and PIR, curtain detectors for recessed mounting and pet tolerant versions. See indoor sensors.

Outdoor Detection

Outdoor sensors are built for weather and for false alarm rejection, which is the whole problem outdoors. The range runs from short range weatherproof detectors for triggering lighting or cameras, through dual direction detectors covering 40 feet either side, to hardwired and wireless ready dual tech units with anti-masking, high mount battery powered detectors and quad beam photoelectric sensors reaching 350 feet outdoors. See outdoor sensors.

Photobeams and Towers

Photoelectric beams cover a line rather than an area, which suits a perimeter, a fence line or a yard boundary. Towers and enclosure poles hide the height, direction and number of beams inside, in single and double sided versions, with solar powered wireless towers and light extension heads. See photobeam enclosures.

Door and Presence Sensors

Automatic door hardware covers request to exit passive infrared detectors in white and black and a microwave request to exit and activation sensor with adjustable horizontal and vertical patterns and a Form C relay. Vehicle presence sensors detect a stationary or moving vehicle, and active infrared presence sensors cover the door itself. See swing door sensors.

Wireless, Laser and Video

Beyond the standard detectors, the catalog holds outdoor laser scan motion sensors with PoE, IP and analog output, drive-up annunciator kits pairing a chime box relay with an indoor and outdoor sensor, video intercom door and monitor stations, and high power repeaters for wireless transmitters. See wireless receivers and repeaters.
