Optex has launched the Redscan Lite LiDAR sensor, designed to provide short-range detection across indoor environments.
The Redscan Lite RLS-1010L has been developed to provide coverage for high-risk security zones and narrow indoor spaces that are difficult to protect with traditional sensors. The RLS-1010L sensor can, for instance, detect intrusions in the tiny gaps between datacentre server racks within cages, or in ventilation shafts.
The sensor uses time-of-flight (TOF) technology to detect intruders within a range of 10mx10m in 100 milliseconds. The sensor’s ability to detect intrusion is not affected by changes in temperature or lighting and can also perform in total darkness.
The sensor can be mounted horizontally to create invisible laser planes to protect skylights and ceilings, or vertically to create invisible laser walls to protect server racks, high value assets, access control turnstiles etc.
During installation, an optional Laser Alignment Tool helps installers visualise the detection area during setup; the sensor’s Automatic Area Correction setting helps prevent overspill outside of the detection zone; and the angle of the LiDAR can be adjusted to match the desired area by rotating the side knobs, with no power required.
