The product has zone-specific detection of weapons, and zone-specific sensitivity adjustments, according to the manufacturers.

The unit operates from a mains-rechargeable battery and provides up to 40 hours operation, suitable for outdoor events, the firm says. Applications include night-clubs, schools, sports and other events, and any business that seeks random or occasional security checks.
