When it comes to pedestrian and vehicle detection at access points, precision, reliability, and ease of installation are critical. That’s why we’re excited to announce the newest addition to our product lineup at All Security Equipment: the MRD-1P Radar Presence Sensor from EMX Industries.
This advanced sensor offers a reflector-free, single-sided radar solution for enhancing the safety and efficiency of barrier arm systems, whether in commercial facilities, gated communities, industrial complexes, or secure access points.
What Is the EMX MRD-1P?
The MRD-1P is a radar-based presence sensor engineered to detect both vehicles and pedestrians from 1 to 30 feet with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike traditional safety sensors that require reflectors or dual-sided installations, the MRD-1P delivers a simple, single-sided design—saving you time, hardware, and installation costs.
This sensor is powered by microwave radar technology and built to endure the harshest conditions, making it an ideal solution for outdoor gate and barrier arm control.
