TOWER-20AM
Outdoor Motion Detector, IP55 rated with Anti-masking

New level of accuracy in outdoor motion detection

Say goodbye to false alarms from outdoor installations. The TOWER-20AM outdoor
detector, available in both wired and wireless models, uses Visonic’s patented
Octa-Quad™ and black mirror technologies to provide exceptionally reliable
outdoor motion detection with virtually no false alarms.

Eight Quad detectors housed in a compact, yet robust, housing and arrayed •

in a “Star Ambush” formation. Each monitors one-eighth of the eld of view

through a recessed V-Slot

A central motion processor makes the nal decision regarding a true or false •

alarm based on intelligent algorithms and information received from all eight
Quad detectors.

Based on Visonic’s patented True Motion Recognition (TMR™) algorithm and •
Adaptive active IR outdoor anti-masking technology.

The TOWER-20AM operates reliably in harsh weather conditions – including storms
with rain, hail, snow, lighting, dust, strong winds, and also under bright sun
and car headlights – and can distinguish between moving people, swaying trees
and bushes and small animals, thereby minimizing false alarms while ensuring
effective detection of real threats.
