Microwave & Beam Detection
Microguard™
Microwave barriers and photo-electric beam sensors that create invisible detection fields across open ground and approaches.
Overview
Microguard™ extends perimeter protection beyond the fence line with microwave barriers and photo-electric beam detection. Together they create overlapping invisible detection fields that cover open ground, gateways, rooftops and sterile zones where a physical barrier is impractical.
Microguard™ delivers cost-effective early warning of an approaching threat and integrates directly with cameras, Multisys® or any system accepting dry relay contacts. Where target tracking and geolocation are required, Omni Guard Radar is the appropriate solution.

How It Works
Detect. Deter. Alert. Record.
Detect
Microwave barriers and beam sensors create invisible detection fields across open approaches.
Confirm
Signal processing separates a genuine intrusion from environmental movement in the detection field.
Alert
An alarm is raised against the affected zone and can slew PTZ cameras for instant verification.
Record
Alarms are passed to Multisys®, your VMS or any dry-contact system for assessment and logging.
