How to correctly install a BX Shield detection sensor
27 March 2023
BX Shield is our series of outdoor curtain motion sensors with up to 12m detection range on each side, ideal for detecting people in the immediate boundary of a residential or commercial building. As with any detector, proper installation is crucial for reliable security.
The BX Shield outdoor sensors are designed to protect the immediate boundary of your premises against intrusion. They provide two independent left-right curtain detection areas up to 12m each (24m in total) and as they are not affected by small animals or by environmental changes, they are a perfect trigger for alarm systems or outdoor CCTV cameras.
