Optex perimeter system secures Bronx neighbourhood community centre
Chino, Ca
“The Redwall system gives Riverdale a simple, yet effective solution,” says Chris Adams, Optex’s Eastern regional sales manager. “The advantage of wireless connectivity is that it eliminates the need for costly wiring and decreases installation time without compromising performance.”
“The Redwall system was simple to install and set up,” says Lon Bazelais, senior partner at Grid Squared. “Optex provides the right products we needed to ensure full coverage, even in areas with foliage and other obstacles.”
“The system has not only delivered the performance we needed, it proved cost-effective and easy to use,” says Daniel Eudene, executive director at Riverdale. “We’ve already deterred several intruders from taking a night swim, which protects them as well as our organisation and programme participants.”
The installed system uses three different Redwall models to satisfy different dimensional needs in coverage. Redwall SIP-3020WFi sensors, with a coverage range of 100’ x 65’, are used along the short sides of the pool, while Model SIP-404WFi sensors with a range of 130’ x 13’ cover the long sides. A Model VX-402Ri sensor, with 40’ x 40’ coverage, secures the pool’s entryway. The sensors are designed to integrate easily with security cameras, giving Riverdale a simple upgrade path if the need arises.
