Laser Fence Security – Optex
The biggest advantage of integrating ‘levels of defense’ lies in the fact that it enables people to be able to detect an intrusion even before it has taken full affect. One should not have to wait for the intruder to break into the sanctity of their premises before they are even able to know of the intrusion. The very first level of defense that can be put into place is at the perimeter, and what better than to be able to utilize the latest in technologies for an almost fool proof security system. Even though the idea of a laser fence in India is a little less known, but the installation of a laser fence is one of the important steps to ensure maximum security
The objective behind having a Laser Fence
A rather new concept of installing a laser fence in India, it provides protection against most types of intrusions. Set at an angle to the fence, the laser scanner is able to pick up all kinds of attempts at a break-in, be it by climbing over the top of the fence or by crawling at the bottom. Another advantage of the laser fence is that it is able to detect if there are people loitering around the property. It scans the area and detects it on the basis of a preset time limit.

Types of fences
When we talk about laser fences, we do not mean crisscrossing laser lines that form more of an obstacle course than a security measure. In the current context, Laser fences in general refer to scanners that are installed at the fences of premises in order to add an extra surveillance factor. The main products of the REDWALL range available with Optex Pinnacle are RLS-3060SH and RLS-3060L, both innovative and precise laser scan detectors that identify a moving object’s size, speed, and distance from the detector. After that, they process that information with a unique algorithm, resulting in a highly reliable detection system with minimal false alarms. These detectors can also be mounted vertically or horizontally according to the application and site conditions.
