Camera Sensor

Made for who's on foot: pedestrians and people.

A progressive-CMOS camera sensor built to spot people, not just motion. Per the manufacturer: camera sensing is more suitable for detecting people, providing better performance when detecting pedestrians — the right call for crosswalks, walkways and any zone where foot traffic needs its own warning trigger.

Available on Industrial Projectors category projectors — Titan, Laser Safety Line, Laser Line and LY-Pro. It ships and wires in with your order.

Camera Sensor

Radar or camera — which do you need?

Radar Sensor

More suitable for detecting approaching forklift trucks, offering stable vehicle detection.

Vehicles & forklifts

Camera Sensor

More suitable for detecting people, providing better performance when detecting pedestrians.

People & pedestrians

Not strictly either/or — a warehouse aisle carrying both forklift and foot traffic is often best covered with one of each.

Why you'll want it

Built for people

Camera-based detection is tuned for pedestrians — better performance spotting people than a motion-only sensor.

Distinguishes people, vehicles & objects*

Image-based analysis can tell a pedestrian apart from a forklift or a stray pallet, not just "something moved." *Depends on environment and configuration.

Adjustable sensitivity & detection zones*

Tune how sensitive it is and exactly which part of the frame triggers your projector, so it ignores traffic outside the zone you're protecting. *Depends on environment and configuration.

Sees in near-darkness

0.01 lux color (AGC on) and 0 lux monochrome with IR — keeps working after dark.

Sharp, adjustable optics

1/2.8" progressive CMOS sensor with an F1.4–2.8 aperture and electronic shutter down to 1/10000 sec.

Two lens options

3.6mm or 6mm lens — choose the field of view that matches your walkway or crosswalk width.

6–8m detection range

About 20–26 ft — covers a full walkway or crosswalk from one mount point.

IP65 weatherproof

Sealed against dust and water for real warehouse and dock-door environments.

Long service life

Rated for roughly 50,000 hours of operation.

Pairs with Radar

Cover a mixed-traffic aisle with both — radar for vehicles, camera for the people sharing the same space.

How to install it

  1. 1Mount the Camera Sensor with a clear line of sight to the walkway, crosswalk or foot-traffic zone you want covered.
  2. 2Choose the 3.6mm or 6mm lens option based on how wide a field of view your space needs.
  3. 3Wire the sensor to your projector or warning system per your installer's wiring diagram.
  4. 4Test in both daylight and after-dark conditions — the low-light rating (0.01 lux color / 0 lux IR monochrome) means it should keep detecting people at night.

Best practice: pair with a Radar Sensor on the same aisle if it also carries forklift or vehicle traffic — camera excels at people, radar excels at vehicles, and mixed-traffic zones benefit from both.

Questions, answered

What does the Camera Sensor detect?

People and pedestrians. Per the manufacturer, camera sensing is more suitable for detecting people, providing better performance when detecting pedestrians than a radar-only approach.

Should I get the Camera Sensor or the Radar Sensor?

Camera for pedestrians, Radar for vehicles and forklifts — they're tuned for different jobs. A warehouse aisle with both forklift and foot traffic often benefits from one of each, not a strict either/or choice.

Does it work in the dark?

Yes — it's rated to 0.01 lux in color mode (AGC on) and 0 lux in monochrome with IR, so it keeps detecting people after dark.

Which lens should I pick, 3.6mm or 6mm?

The 3.6mm lens gives a wider field of view for shorter, wider walkways; the 6mm lens gives a narrower, longer-reaching view — better for a straight, longer crosswalk or aisle. Tell us your space and we can help you pick.

How far can it detect, and is it rated for outdoor/warehouse conditions?

Up to 6–8m (about 20–26 ft) detection range. It's IP65-rated against dust and water, built for a -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F) operating range, and rated for roughly 50,000 hours of service.

Does it work with the LY-Pro projector specifically?

Yes — it's offered as an add-on on the LY-Pro and on every projector in our Industrial Projectors category (Titan, Laser Safety Line, Laser Line), wired independently of the projector's own controls.
