Optex OVS-01GT Microwave and Ultrasonic Vehicle Presence Sensor, 18' Range

Ensure fast, reliable activation of gates, barriers and industrial doors without trenching using the Optex OVS-01GT vehicle detection sensor. This above-ground vehicle presence sensor combines FMCW microwave and ultrasonic technologies to detect vehicles across an 18' (5.5 m) range, reliably sensing cars moving 2–20 km/h. Because it does not rely on video or in-ground loops, the OVS-01GT performs consistently in low light, poor weather and dusty environments—reducing false triggers and improving overall security and monitoring.

Designed for commercial installations, the OVS-01GT mounts to walls or posts and offers quick distance and sensitivity adjustments for fast commissioning. Wired relay outputs integrate seamlessly with automatic gate operators, barriers and industrial door controllers to support access control, parking management and perimeter surveillance. With a built-in heater for operation down to -30°C, it’s an ideal replacement for induction loops or video-based systems in harsh sites.

Add the Optex OVS-01GT to your security and surveillance setup to simplify installation, enhance vehicle detection accuracy, and improve operational reliability for gates and barriers.
