Weapon Detection For Crowd Security

By: Barry Grimes

Metal detector scanning systems have a large role in creating a secure environment from hand-held detectors at clubs or sporting events to scanners in office buildings, schools. Such devices have been available for much longer time than the average person knows.

How Metal Detectors Work

Metal scanning functions using the physics of electromagnetics. Metallic Weapons detectors utilize the battery power to project a magnetic field which scans the surrounding area.

The fundamental mechanics of metal detectors is based on the concept of electromagnetic induction. A metal detector contains one or more inductor coils which are utilized to interact with metallic elements. This coil contains a part called a transmitter that draws upon its battery power to send out a magnetic field that interacts with any metallic found in the field. The metallic object then becomes magnetically charged and can be magnetically detected.

The metal detector also has a sensitive wire known as the receiver. The receiver senses any alteration in the magnetic field it is near. It is especially sensitive to recently magnetized metals and activates an electrical response back to the operator.

High quality metal detectors can penetrate through most surfaces and alert you to metals which could indicate a security threat.

Buying a Metal Detector For Safety

Hand held metal detectors are designed to safe guard scanning in crowded areas. Hand held metal detectors may be used solo or together with stationary metal detectors. Wand style metal detectors are less expensive, radiation free, lightweight, very sensitive, and need only light tunning.

High tech metal detectors are usually, often completely automated, with microchip technology to let the user to select sensitivity, discrimination, track speed, threshold volume, notch filters, etc, and hold their parameters in memory for repeated use.

Security pros want a high-volume and flexible solution offering lotsof features. Consider the choice to keep the alert audible or silent by either including an ear[phone, utilizing vibration or relying on bright LED lights to signal the existence of metal. Another key concern is the length of your unit and the distance of the magnetic field it can create. You must be able to scan crowds quickly without having to get too close or requiring that you bend down too far to scan shoes and feet. Many weapons are made with steel but plenty are not. Therefore, you need a metal detector which will detect ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel weapons, tinfoil and other metal objects.

With growing concerns regarding weapons detection in our own country metal detectors appear to be a permanent fixture.
