The Newton is an active infra-red detection system suited to the protection of objects with a medium risk profile. It works by sending a light beam to a receiver. This beam is invisible to the naked eye and will trigger an alarm if disrupted. Transmitter and receiver are housed in a special outdoor casing and can be placed up to 50 metres apart.
How it works: | Disruption of the infra-red beam between transmitter and receiver. |
Location: | Works best on a flat, clean, open terrain with no obstacles blocking the line of sight between transmitter and receiver. |
Range: | Fifty metres. |
Weather influence: | Does not work well in thick fog, frost, rain or snow. |
Alarm zone: | Per set (transmitter and receiver). |
Advantages: | Mono-optic active system that works preventively. Familiar, easy to understand technology, takes up little space. |
Drawbacks: | Sensitive to bad weather, and triggered by larger animals such as cats and dogs. |
Application: | Projects with a low to medium risk profile. |
