Outdoor Motion Sensors

You are here:

OPTEX outdoor motion sensors are designed to protect “middle areas,” which are the boundaries between buildings and the perimeter, such as

  • Near entrances and back doors
  • Near windows
  • Garage
  • Garden and back yard
  • Pathway
  • Balcony

By installing motion sensors for these area, it becomes possible to trigger an alarm as soon as an intruder approaches the building, allowing for earlier response timing. This concept of early warning provides an opportunity to take action before the intruder enters the building.

● Window

● Balcony

● Back side of building

● Pathway

OPTEX offers a wide range of products categorized by detection angle, distance, and functions, making it easy to find the right sensor for your installation environment.
