Motion Detection Systems

Our Service Offerings

Installation of motion detection systems to enhance security and energy efficiency. Our systems provide reliable detection and response to movement within your building.

VarcoMac's Motion Detection Systems services provide sophisticated presence-sensing capabilities that enhance security, energy efficiency, and operational automation through reliable detection of movement within monitored areas. Our specialized approach delivers properly designed and precisely implemented detection networks that accurately identify occupancy patterns while minimizing false activations.

Our comprehensive motion detection services include:

  • Strategic Sensor Selection: We specify appropriate detection technologies including passive infrared, ultrasonic, microwave, and dual-technology sensors based on specific application requirements, environmental conditions, and detection objectives.
  • Optimal Coverage Design: Our engineers develop sensor placement plans that ensure complete coverage of target areas while minimizing blind spots, overlapping appropriately at critical boundaries to prevent detection gaps.
  • Security Integration: We implement motion detection as part of comprehensive security systems, coordinating with access control, video surveillance, and alarm notification to create multilayered protection against unauthorized access.
  • Lighting Control Integration: Our systems incorporate motion-based lighting activation that enhances energy efficiency by illuminating only occupied spaces while maintaining appropriate light levels for safety and comfort.
  • HVAC System Coordination: We connect occupancy detection with environmental control systems, optimizing ventilation, temperature, and airflow based on actual space utilization patterns.
  • Specialized Applications: Our services include implementation of detection systems for unique needs such as high-security areas, clean rooms, equipment monitoring, elder care spaces, and other specialized applications.
  • System Tuning and Calibration: We precisely adjust sensor sensitivity, time delays, and coverage patterns to optimize detection reliability while minimizing false triggers from environmental factors or non-target movement.

The VarcoMac difference includes our application-specific approach that matches detection technology to actual usage patterns and environmental conditions. We understand the limitations of different sensing technologies and implement appropriate solutions that provide reliable detection without nuisance activations. With VarcoMac's Motion Detection Systems services, you gain precisely implemented occupancy sensing that enhances security while supporting energy efficiency goals through automation that responds appropriately to actual space utilization.
