Wireless Beam Break Sensor (Perimeter Break-Beam)
Rapid-deploy perimeter detection for site security, physical security missions, and long-term remote monitoring.
A beam break sensor creates an invisible “trip line” across a driveway, gate line, trail, fence gap, or perimeter corridor. When the beam is interrupted by a person or vehicle, the system sends an alert to a compatible receiver—making it ideal for incidents that happen infrequently but carry real cost: illegal dumping, vandalism, intrusion, poaching, and industrial/metal theft.
Unlike motion detection that can be influenced by heat, foliage, or changing conditions, a properly aligned break-beam setup provides clear, deterministic “crossed the line” events—especially valuable when quick deployment and perimeter integrity are priorities.
Where It Excels
- Perimeter protection for site & physical security missions
- Quick-deploy monitoring at gates, access roads, and fence lines
- Illegal dumping and drive-up activity in remote areas
- Vandalism and repeat intrusion at isolated sites
- Poaching deterrence and rural property protection
- Industrial yards and theft-prone assets (including metal theft)
What You Get
A paired set of beam units that face one another to establish a detection corridor, plus mounting hardware designed for posts or pipes.
- Paired A/B beam units
- Mounting brackets and pipe mounts
- Outdoor-capable charging via integrated solar (plus USB charging option)
Deployment Notes
- Recommended mounting height: about 3 ft to reduce small-animal triggers
- Beam separation: up to 300 ft (line-of-sight and alignment dependent)
- Mount to a stable post, wall, or pipe; keep both units at similar height
- Alignment matters: misalignment can cause periodic “reminder” signals when the beam is continuously interrupted
If the beam stays blocked or misaligned, the system can be configured to send repeat alerts on a short or extended interval.

Pair the beam break with a compatible receiver that offers dry contact (Form C relay) outputs and/or a 12 VDC output. Those outputs can trigger third-party alerts and automations—like activating remotely located infrared illuminators, switching relays/digital inputs, or waking surveillance systems from deep sleep so cameras and comms only run when a perimeter is breached.
