Scan-Beam

Scan-Beam

Scan-Beam uses a very narrow “beam break” detection system suitable for mounting alongside a perimeter fence line. The detection area is defined between the transmitter and receiver units with a simple threshold control to set the area’s width. Configuration is straightforward using the web browser interface.

  • Up to 500m range
  • High detection probability, Pd >0.99
  • Low false alarm rate (typ 1/unit/year, based on signal to noise)
  • Typical 1m install height
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE)
  • Alarm integration to VMS systems
  • All weather operation

Scan-Beam is a microwave PIDS (perimeter intrusion detection system) that is ideal for mounting alongside physical fences in high security environments to detect walking, running or crawling intruders. The system forms a 3D volumetric detection area between the transmitter and receiver units. Movement of intruders through this sensitive area causes an alarm to be raised.

Unlike single unit sensors, the use of two heads results in the narrow “beam-break” performance and very low false alarm rate.


All versions use a license-exempt 24GHz operating frequency that has excellent detection characteristics. Compared to older 10GHz (X band) equipments, 24 GHz has better interference immunity from air traffic control and marine radar systems that typically use lower operating frequencies.


Note: Scan-Beam does not have camera slew to cue control. For this feature please view the Super-Beam product.
