New commercial building built as a barn
Project Overview
Located just a few miles from the ocean, a newly built commercial property designed as a barn, complete with storage areas, overhead doors, windows, RV storage, a corporate board room for company meetings, and a designer restroom.
Just outside the main building is a covered ATV storage area connecting the main barn with an RV storage building. Shortly after construction, vandals started damaging the exterior and disabling lighting fixtures.
Primary Challenge
The environment presented a number of installation challenges. Based on the size of the property and concrete surfaces surrounding the building, pulling cable would be costly and time consuming. Exterior conduit was also not an option due to strict aesthetic requirements of the property.
A wireless perimeter solution was essential; one that could offer reliable outdoor detection, discreet installation, and seamless integration with an existing intrusion system, all while withstanding the coastal climate.
Products Deployed
TX‑114FR battery-operated dual-zone PIR was selected for its ability to meet the site’s unique requirements.
Reason
The unit solved many concerns with its dual PIR’s, coverage range, tamper detection, weatherproofing and low power consumption. Best of all, it was able to accommodate the Resideo wireless transmitter inside the device, which meant more placement options, less opportunity for tampering, a cleaner look, and no cable runs. Strategically installed around key access points, TX‑114FR provides:
- Dual-zone detection for stable operation and reduced false alarms
- Wireless compatibility, allowing installation without cabling
- Compact, weatherproof housing for discreet appearance and durability
- Internal space for wireless transmitter integration, enabling clean, tamper-resistant installations
- Low power consumption, supporting extended deployment in remote locations
Outcome & Impact
Three months after deployment, the TX‑114FR detectors have proven invaluable. The system has produced zero false alarms and has already played a key role in preventing a theft attempt.
Effectiveness
Shortly after installation, two of the detectors were triggered when an unknown individual approached the ATV storage area, with a second alert following at the RV building door. Thanks to early detection, the intrusion was interrupted before any damage or loss could occur.
The solution effectively mitigated risks across all vulnerable outdoor areas, demonstrating the value of extended wireless perimeter detection for complex site configurations.
