GJD, the British manufacturer and designer of external detector equipment, recently launched the Laser-Watch, pictured. It’s described as a long range IP connected laser surveillance sensor.
The Laser-Watch is for detecting objects and humans with accuracy up to 500m away, it’s claimed, and without the need for lights, reflectors or separate transmitters or receivers. Mark Tibbenham, Managing Director at GJD said: “The Laser-Watch uses innovative technology to ensure utmost precision, regardless of lighting or weather conditions for a wide range of sectors.”
At the core of the product’s design is functionality and ease of use, according to the makers. The product offers outdoor surveillance for a variety of sectors and adjustable settings such as programmable detection range and 20 fully adaptable alarm zones. It can be used as a standalone unit or as part of a security system with multiple IP surveillance sensors and IP cameras connected to a server. Another benefit is the twenty fully adjustable alarm zones each with their own sensitivity settings and alarm actions. The Laser-Watch has an intuitive web based user interface for fine tuning sensor settings and configuring network alarms for integration with network-based surveillance software. GJD is offering free hands-on training to give users a real-life experience of the detector.
The product not only detects an intrusion, but it knows the position of an object or human. False alarms are kept to near zero and only genuine detection threats are captured, the makers add. For example, the sensor can be set to react only to cars in a specific lane, to alarm only if an object has stopped or if a door opens, whilst all other activities are ignored.
Typical applications include perimeter control as the sensor can detect all objects crossing a virtual fence, which is useful when a physical fence is not desirable. The Laser-Watch is also for spot surveillance in an exact area, for example an entrance to a house or along a wall. The sensor can be used to detect if an object moves, as it can be located anywhere with a clear line of sight to the object. It is also a solution the makers add for stake-out operations and temporary perimeter security including at harbours, airports, large industrial areas and freight terminals.
