In November 2011 HeiTel Digital Video is bringing the new external motion detector product range “HeiTel IMD” (Infrared Motion Detection) onto the market.

The HeiTel IMD detectors are passive infrared motion detectors, which have been specially developed for external surveillance purposes. The detectors are optimised for use in security technology applications in the field of video monitoring and intrusion detection technology. For the different site and application-specific conditions there are medium-range and long-range detectors with very small angles of aperture as well as volume detectors with different ranges and corresponding sizes of angles of aperture. The mounting height of up to 4m ensures a correspondingly low risk of sabotage.

The outstanding feature of the HeiTel IMD series is its unique remote service option. Configuration and diagnoses are easily carried out on the devices locally or remotely. The “double-knock function”, a possible link between HeiTel VideoGateways video motion detection and IMD motion detection, in connection with the video-based alarm services of the emergency and service control centres equipped with HeiTel receiver technology, results in functionally secure system solutions with a low rate of false alarms.
