Overview
Secure approaches and flat-roof perimeters with the Optex WXS-AM panoramic outdoor PIR detector — a professional-grade PIR motion sensor engineered for dependable intrusion detection and surveillance integration. The WXS-AM delivers a full 180° detection arc and up to 39' (approx. 30–40') sensing range, giving security teams expansive coverage with fewer devices. Install low or at 2.0 m high to create either wide approach detection or a volumetric zone that deters vandalism and lens masking. Built for commercial and residential monitoring, this hard-wired model runs on 18V DC and offers independent left/right detection areas that can trigger separate outputs or PTZ camera presets for targeted response. Optex Super Multi-dimensional Analysis (SMDA) and self-learning IR anti-masking reduce nuisance alarms from pets, vegetation and bright light, improving system reliability and lowering maintenance calls. Ideal for perimeter security, building entrances, garages and garden protection, the WXS-AM integrates seamlessly into wired security systems and CCTV surveillance platforms. Add the Optex WXS-AM to your security design for robust intrusion detection and practical false-alarm reduction.
