Home Automation

• Paul Mitchell Electric Fencing also specializes in the setup of beams and gate motors, making your home, business, or property extra secure.

Beams

Typically referred to as infrared (IR) sensors, they are used to detect movement or intrusion in specific areas. These sensors can be integrated into security systems to enhance the protection of homes, businesses, or other properties.

Infrared Beam Sensors:

These sensors consist of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter emits an infrared beam, and the receiver detects the beam. When an object, such as a person or an animal, crosses the path of the beam and interrupts it, the sensor triggers an alert. Infrared beam sensors are often used in outdoor settings, such as along fences or pathways, to detect movement.

Key features of our beam sensors include:

• Detection Range: Our beam sensors come in various detection ranges, from short-range to long-range, depending on the intended application.
  
• Multiple Beams: Some systems use multiple beams in a pattern to provide more accurate detection and reduce false alarms caused by animals or debris.
  
• Wired or wireless: Our beam sensors can be wired directly to the security system or operate wirelessly.
  
• Integration: Our beam sensors can be integrated with other security components like alarms, cameras, and monitoring systems to provide a comprehensive security solution.
  
• Outdoor and Indoor Use: Our beam sensors can be used both outdoors and indoors, depending on the specific security requirements.
  
• Weather Resistance: Outdoor beam sensors are designed to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance over time.
  
• False Alarm Prevention: Quality beam sensors incorporate features to minimize false alarms caused by factors like environmental conditions or small animals.
  
• Adjustability: Our sensors allow you to adjust sensitivity and other settings to customize the system according to your needs.
