Metal detectors are often used in schools, concert venues, airports, and other gathering spaces that host large numbers of people. If your event or place of business needs an upgrade in safety features, why not consider portable metal detectors?
Read on to learn more about the many benefits that portable metal detectors have to offer.
Some business owners may be concerned about the additional time it will take to train their staff to use metal detectors, but with the Ballistiglass portable metal detector system the settings are very user-friendly and only take ten minutes to set up. Simply connect an ethernet cable to a router for a laptop or camera, allowing you to take a snapshot if suspicious metal objects are detected.
The Ballistiglass system works by detecting movement between sensors. It is so discreet that people are often not aware they are being checked keeping the environment relaxed and casual. It’s so discreet, in fact, that we call it a low-profile detector.
Walkthrough metal detectors are used in many locations with large groups of people, such as nightclubs, government buildings, and airports. Handheld metal detectors are also commonly used in these spaces. They look like batons or wands that pass over people or objects to detect metal objects. Many places use both security devices, but you may still be wondering: which type is more efficient?
It’s hard to say which type of metal detector is “better.” It completely depends on your unique security needs. Both types of metal detectors serve different purposes, but can also be used together. If your event is hosting a large number of people, a walk-through detector may be best to make the security process move quickly and efficiently. But if the foot traffic is much shorter, such as in a hospital or correctional facility, a handheld metal detector is also a good option.
It could be beneficial to use a handheld wand if someone sets off the walk-through detector, and is averse to getting a pat-down. With social distancing still in effect in many places, using a hand-held detector is a great option to observe Covid-19 protocols without compromising security. A handheld metal detector can also show a security guard exactly what is setting off the walk-through metal detector: a belt, a piece of jewelry, a concealed handgun, etc.
