Walk-through metal detectors are often divided into multiple detection zones, typically ranging from 1 to 33 zones, depending on the model. Each zone corresponds to a specific area of the body, allowing for more precise localization of detected metal objects.

Walk-through metal detectors usually offer adjustable sensitivity settings to accommodate different security requirements and minimize false alarms. Sensitivity levels may be adjusted based on factors such as the size and type of metal objects to be detected.

Most walk-through metal detectors use electromagnetic induction technology to detect metal objects. Some models may also incorporate additional detection technologies, such as pulse induction (PI) or multi-coil systems, to enhance detection capabilities and reduce interference from environmental factors.

The detection strength of walk-through metal detectors refers to their ability to accurately detect metal objects of varying sizes and compositions. Higher detection strength ensures reliable detection of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including weapons, coins, and jewelry.

Walk-through metal detectors typically feature multiple alarm modes to indicate the presence of metal objects. Common alarm modes include audible alarms, visual indicators (such as LED lights), and vibration alerts. Some models may also offer silent alarm options for discreet operation.

The operating frequency of walk-through metal detectors determines their sensitivity to different types of metals and interference from external sources. Most models operate within the frequency range of 1 kHz to 100 kHz, with higher frequencies generally offering greater sensitivity to small metal objects.

Walk-through metal detectors are constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminum to withstand frequent use in high-traffic environments. They are typically designed to meet industry standards for reliability, stability, and resistance to tampering or vandalism.

Walk-through metal detectors come in various sizes and weights to accommodate different installation requirements and spatial constraints. Portable or lightweight models are available for temporary or mobile security applications, while larger, heavier units are suitable for permanent installations in airports, government buildings, and event venues.

Walk-through metal detectors require power to operate, typically supplied through standard electrical outlets. Some models may also offer battery backup options for continued operation during power outages or temporary installations where access to electrical power is limited.

Walk-through metal detectors may be designed to meet specific regulatory standards and certifications, such as those set by government agencies or international organizations (e.g., TSA, CE, FCC). Compliance with these standards ensures that the detectors meet established performance, safety, and quality requirements.

These specifications provide an overview of the common features and capabilities of walk-through metal detectors. When selecting a walk-through metal detector, it’s essential to consider factors such as detection sensitivity, reliability, ease of use, and compliance with relevant standards to ensure effective security screening operations.

Security bollards are sturdy, vertical posts designed to provide physical protection and control access to specific areas. They come in various types, each serving different security needs and as ATLAS security being the leading Hydraulic Rising Bollards Distributors In Uganda

Fixed bollards are immovable posts permanently installed into the ground. They provide a robust physical barrier to prevent vehicle intrusion and control pedestrian access. Fixed bollards are commonly used in high-security areas such as government buildings, airports, and military installations.

1. Removable Bollards: Removable bollards are designed to be easily installed or removed as needed. They typically feature a locking mechanism that allows them to be securely anchored into the ground when in use and removed to allow temporary access for authorized vehicles or events. Removable bollards offer flexibility and versatility in controlling access to various areas.

Retractable bollards, also known as collapsible or telescopic bollards, can be raised or lowered as required. They are typically operated electronically or manually, allowing them to retract into the ground to permit vehicle access or extend upward to block off areas. Retractable bollards are ideal for controlling access to driveways, parking lots, and pedestrian zones while providing the flexibility to adjust access as needed.

Automatic bollards are motorized posts that can be raised or lowered remotely via a control system. They offer similar functionality to retractable bollards but are automated for convenience and efficiency. Automatic bollards are commonly used in areas where frequent access control is required, such as commercial entrances, loading docks, and secure facilities.

Decorative bollards combine security functionality with aesthetic appeal. They come in various designs, materials, and finishes to complement the architectural style of their surroundings while still providing effective protection. Decorative bollards are often used in urban landscapes, parks, and pedestrian plazas to enhance both security and visual appeal.

High-security bollards are specifically engineered to withstand significant impact forces, such as those from vehicle ramming attacks. They are made from heavy-duty materials such as steel or reinforced concrete and are often installed in critical infrastructure sites, government buildings, and areas vulnerable to terrorist threats.

Lighted bollards incorporate built-in illumination to enhance visibility and safety, particularly in low-light conditions or at night. These bollards typically feature integrated LED lights that provide ambient or directional lighting while still serving their primary security function. Lighted bollards are commonly used in pedestrian walkways, parks, and public spaces.

Each type of security bollard offers distinct advantages and is selected based on factors such as security requirements, operational needs, aesthetic preferences, and budget considerations. By choosing the appropriate type of security bollard, property owners can effectively protect their assets, control access to designated areas, and enhance overall security measures.

ATLAS Security provides internationally certified  bollards in Uganda ranging from the fixed, removable and retractable models to suit all needs

Security bollards are short, sturdy, vertical posts designed to provide security and control access to specific areas. They are commonly made of materials such as concrete, steel, or other durable metals. Security bollards serve various purposes, including:

They can be installed around buildings, pedestrian areas, or sensitive infrastructure to prevent unauthorized vehicle access or to protect against ramming attacks.

Security bollards come in various shapes and sizes, including fixed, removable, or retractable options, allowing for flexibility in their usage based on security needs and operational requirements. They are often strategically placed and reinforced to withstand impact from vehicles, providing a reliable security solution in diverse setting

Examples of bollards in Uganda  include;

BOL1219-A is a high-quality automatic bollard which is used widely to protect
security areas from vehicle intrusion. It is an ideal solution for entrance with
high security requirements. Raising time of BOL1219-A is 3 seconds. Even if the
intrusion is from high tonnage vehicle in high speed, the bollard will stop the
vehicle easily because it is so solid that the vehicle will break after impact
instead.
