Optex Redscan Mini-Pro Offers Smarter Detection And Less Hassle for Installers.
Optex Redscan Mini-Pro Offers Smarter Detection – Optex Redscan Mini-Pro offers smart detection and less hassle for installers, according to Graham Clark, state manager NSW & ACT at BGW Technologies.
“False alarms are the bane of every installer’s life,” says Clark. “They take up time, cost money, and frustrate customers. That’s why the Optex Redscan Mini-Pro continues to get so much attention.
“It uses laser-based detection to create a virtual wall or plane that picks up movement with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike traditional motion sensors, it doesn’t accidently get triggered by incidental things like shadows, the wind, or animals passing by. The result is fewer headaches, fewer call-backs, and happier end users.
“Every installer I talk to tells me false alarms drive them mad,” Clark says. “But with the Redscan Mini-Pro, we can offer a solution that stays stable once it’s installed – that reliability is a game changer.”
“One of the smartest features in this model is the built-in Full HD camera with IR LED. It records clear 1080p images and stores up to 500 alarm events internally, complete with pre-event and post-event snapshots. For end users, it means quick verification. For installers, it means easier setup and fine-tuning,” Clark explains.
“The camera means installers have a way to see exactly what the sensor is doing, allowing them to check the detection zones on the spot and make adjustments with confidence.”
According to Clark, whether it’s guarding a perimeter fence, protecting a rooftop or skylight, or securing an internal zone, the Redscan Mini-Pro adapts easily.
“The map screen feature lets you overlay detection areas onto a site photo rather than staring at raw video feeds, making it simpler to line things up and explain the setup to clients,” he explains. “Integration is equally straightforward. The Mini-Pro is ONVIF Profile S compliant, so it integrates with most video management systems, NVRs, or IP devices, and it’s fully up to speed with HTTPS and SNMPv3 protocols as well.
“As an installer, you’re not just putting in a sensor when you install Redscan Mini Pro,” says Clark. “You’re adding a tool to your kit that reduces the number of times you get called back to site – in this industry, that’s worth its weight in gold.”
