Metal Detector

Completely Passive System

Our metal detectors do not emit radiation and are safe for everyone, including those with medical devices or those who may be pregnant.

Speedy Throughput

Scan all visitors entering or exiting quickly and seamlessly, eliminate staff productivity loss, and enhance the screening experience.

Image & Data Archiving

These advanced metal detectors can record user readings, flag daily anomalies, and review data from previous scans.

Browser-Based User Interface

Remotely monitor units from any PC on the network and integrate them with an information security management system.

Pinpoint Location of Each Object

Dramatically reduce the need for physical pat-downs by viewing the exact location of objects on a person via an image snapshot taken by our metal detectors.

Avoids Precious Metals

When two things are of equal importance: security and air quality. That's where the HALO 2C plays a vital role. It's used This device can avoid the detection of non-ferrous metals such as gold and silver and identify ferrous metallic objects.

Archiving Abilities

Every person scanned through the portal has the following data archived:

A digital snapshot of the person
Time and date
Threshold configurations
Sensor reading data
Graphical display data

Archiving can be controlled at the workstation, and you can monitor anyone entering or leaving a building, including after hours. This feature is useful for personnel and property protection, evidence collection, and criminal prosecution. The real-time image can be replaced for image-sensitive areas or cultures. In this case, yellow dots will identify potentially threatening objects over a generic human silhouette.

Sensing Technology

ViewScan uses magnetic sensors with onboard digital signal processing to communicate with the software that spatially locates objects of threat. ViewScan can determine life-threatening objects from non-lethal ones by measuring the differences in total metallic mass and ferromagnetic composition.

When a threat object (or multiple) is discovered, a yellow dot is overlayed onto a live snapshot image of the person passing through the portal. A graphical display of the sensor data instantly scales the signal strength of individual sensors and cross-references them with the video image.

ViewScan's threshold or sensitivity/selectivity configurations are linear compared to segments or ranges that screen particular targets. The portal operator has access to a specific threshold setting, which can be found at the control console. Threshold settings are customizable and can be altered without interrupting traffic flow. It effectively detects life-threatening objects (e.g., guns, knives, box cutters, razor blades, etc.). Non-threatening objects (e.g., keys, coins, jewelry, belt buckles, etc.) are permitted to pass without false alarms.
