Frequently Asked Questions About Weapons Detection
What types of weapons can Metrasens detect?
Metrasens’ weapons detection systems can detect a wide range of metallic threat items, including concealed firearms, knives, blades, and contraband like cell phones or vape pens. Our ferromagnetic technology focuses on identifying hidden threats without invasive pat-downs or radiation.
Is Metrasens’ weapons detection safe for schools and hospitals?
Yes. Our systems use passive ferromagnetic detection technology—meaning no radiation, no harmful emissions, and no physical contact. This makes them ideal for environments where safety, privacy, and dignity are essential, such as schools, hospitals, and behavioral health facilities.
How portable is the Metrasens weapons detection system?
Metrasens systems are completely portable, require no permanent infrastructure, and can be set up in minutes. This allows schools and healthcare facilities to quickly deploy detection at entry points, events, or high-risk areas without disrupting operations.
Can the detection system identify non-metallic items?
Our technology is designed specifically for ferromagnetic materials. While it may not detect non-metallic items like plastic or ceramic, it is highly effective for the types of metallic weapons and contraband most commonly used in real-world threats.
How many units do I need for my facility?
The number of units depends on your facility size, number of entry points, and expected foot traffic. Our team will work with you to assess your space and recommend the most efficient coverage plan, whether for a single school entrance or a large hospital campus.
Can I integrate Metrasens with my existing security protocols?
Yes. Metrasens detection solutions are designed to work alongside your existing access control, visitor screening, and emergency protocols. Our systems are flexible, easy to train on, and can enhance your layered security strategy.
