Side passages between detached houses or boundary walls offer natural acoustic and visual shelter for potential intruders. Because these areas are rarely monitored from main street windows, dedicated early detection is essential.
By fitting narrow-beam PIR curtain sensors along side walkways, any movement along the passageway triggers system verification before side doors or utility windows can be compromised.
Specific technical requirements for side corridor defense:
Directional motion detection beams calibrated to create an invisible vertical barrier down the exact length of the side passage.
Concealed magnetic switches protecting utility, kitchen, or basement side access doors.
Shock sensors attached to side ground-level and basement lightwell windows to detect tampering prior to glass breakage.
Restricts sensing width to 0.8 meters, preventing false triggers from neighbour properties or passing sidewalk pedestrians.
Measures structural vibrations on lightwell window frames, raising an immediate alert on forced entry attempts.
Mounts beneath roof eaves or downspout channels, offering physical protection against severe weather while looking clean.
Triggers full system alarm immediately if an attempt is made to detach or open the side motion unit housing.
