Easy mechanical and electrical connection means you stay flexible as needs change day-to-day. Relocate the weapons detection system quickly between areas on demand, which limits downtime during setup or breakdown at busy locations like stadiums or concert halls. No tools are needed, and no time is wasted.
• Detection of High-caliber Firearms and IEDs – You need event security you can count on. OPENGATE metal detectors use advanced electromagnetic fields to pick up high-caliber firearms and improvised explosive devices, or IEDs. The system scans your guests as they walk through, even if they carry backpacks, purses, bags, or other items. No one needs to empty their pockets or remove anything from their bags for this level of detection. Testing shows these units spot 90% of potential threats, including considerable mass casualties like deep-concealed weapons and explosives. Clear visual and audio alarms alert you immediately when the system detects a threat item, no guesswork required.
