No detector using PIR technology is at its best in the heat, as it is not possible to identify the IR signals of intruders when the ambient temperature approaches body temperature.
Moshe Alkelai, CEO and chairman of Rokonet states that: "Most people do not realise that when the heat reaches body temperature, PIR detectors 'fall asleep' and fail to detect intruders in business places or private homes. When people leave for vacation or businesses close for the weekend they do not realise that their property is unprotected.
"Warehouses have the same problem. Usually the temperature in closed places rises sharply, especially in warm countries like South Africa. It is therefore important to alert the public to this detection failure."
iWISE with Anti-Cloak Technology is a dual-technology detector that overcomes this problem, delivering accurate event recognition even in the hottest environments.
Anti-Cloak Technology automatically switches to MW-only mode when the ambient temperature reaches a certain point, so that even when the PIR channel is not at its best, the iWISE detector will be. This breakthrough technology is guaranteed to boost catch performance during heatwaves and in hot climates - while providing the false alarm immunity that one expects from dual-technology detectors.
