Many security installations already include indoor surveillance to monitor homes, offices or businesses. However, truly effective protection should go beyond indoor spaces: the real aim is to detect an intrusion before entry into the building is even attempted.
For this reason, combining indoor security with an intelligent perimeter system is one of today’s most advanced professional solutions.
Among the most interesting technologies in this field is BLADE by EL.MO., a dual-technology detector designed to protect doors and windows precisely while drastically reducing false alarms.
What is BLADE and how does it improve outdoor security?
BLADE is a wired dual-technology MW + IR motion detector, combining microwave and infrared with curtain protection, designed to create a precise detection barrier near windows, doors and sensitive entrances.
It can notably be installed:
- between a shutter and window
- on window and door frames
- vertically or horizontally
- in extremely confined spaces
Thanks to its compact size and low profile, BLADE blends discreetly into the building’s appearance.
Why add outdoor protection to your indoor installation?
Indoor surveillance records events inside the property, but often responds only after intrusion has occurred.
Outdoor perimeter protection instead allows you to:
- detect attempted access before a break-in
- receive immediate notifications
- activate sirens and security scenarios earlier
- increase reaction time
- deter intruders before entry
This turns a “reactive” installation into a genuinely preventive security system.
Dual MW + IR technology: greater reliability and fewer false alarms
A major issue with traditional detectors is false alarms caused by:
- weather changes
- light reflections
- small animals
- irrelevant movements
BLADE combines:
- a digital passive infrared detector
- 24 GHz microwave
for extremely precise, reliable detection.
The IR beam’s vertical angle of just 15° focuses detection exclusively on the protected area, avoiding interference from surrounding spaces.
Perfect for homes, offices and businesses
BLADE is particularly suitable for:
- private homes
- villas and detached houses
- shops
- offices
- showrooms
- sensitive entrances
- French doors and glazed areas
Direct frame mounting also makes it ideal where appearance must be preserved without sacrificing security.
Smart protection against tampering and sabotage
Advanced features include:
- anti-blinding system
- dual anti-masking (DAM)
- anti-disorientation protection
- dedicated alarm and fault relays
These technologies detect attempts to sabotage or tamper with the detector, further increasing installation reliability.
Integration with surveillance and alarm systems
One major advantage of BLADE is compatibility with intrusion control panels from EL.MO. and third-party manufacturers.
It can therefore integrate easily into existing installations, adding professional outdoor protection without replacing the entire system.
Combined with modern cameras and surveillance, it supports advanced scenarios such as:
- automatic recording on detection
- immediate push notifications
- activation of outdoor lights
- remote smartphone management
More complete, modern, preventive security
Today, security means more than recording events: it means preventing risks before they cause real damage.
Combining indoor installations with intelligent perimeter protection such as BLADE means:
- increasing real security
- reducing response times
- improving access control
- protecting doors and windows discreetly and effectively
If you already have indoor surveillance, adding professional outdoor protection is the next step towards complete, genuinely effective security.
BLADE by EL.MO is a compact, precise and highly reliable solutiondesigned for preventive protection and minimal false alarms using dual MW + IRtechnology.
