INTREPID™ MS30-POE-S: Outdoor Microwave Motion Detection Sensor for Perimeter Security
Tempe, AZ – Southwest Microwave announces the new INTREPID™ MS30-POE-S, a compact outdoor microwave motion sensor that redefines high-performance intrusion detection with advanced microwave technology in a streamlined, modern form factor.
Engineered for critical infrastructure, industrial facilities, transportation sites, data centers, and high-security environments, the MS30-POE-S delivers intelligent, all-weather detection with precise target discrimination, low nuisance alarm rates, and flexible deployment options.
Built for today’s evolving security challenges, the MS30-POE-S combines powerful microwave performance with a compact PoE-enabled design ideal for vehicle access points, loading docks, corridors, restricted zones, and complex outdoor environments where traditional sensing technologies struggle.
Reliable Detection in Any Environment
Utilizing microwave technology, the MS30-POE-S transmits microwave signals and analyzes reflections to detect movement with exceptional accuracy and consistency.
Unlike passive infrared or thermal systems, microwave detection maintains dependable operation through:
- Rain
- Fog
- Snow
- Dust
- Darkness
- Extreme temperature fluctuations
Operating at K-band frequency, the sensor is engineered to prevent interference from aircraft radar, marine radar, airport systems, and other X-band microwave devices, while integrated EMI/RFI shielding protects against harsh RF environments.
Intelligent Detection Performance
The MS30-POE-S combines advanced signal processing with powerful detection features for effective perimeter protection, including:
- Enhanced crawling target detection for both low-profile and upright intrusion attempts
- Directional approach/recede detection for improved threat assessment
- Configurable vibrating target suppression to reduce nuisance alarms caused by environmental movement
- Software-defined detection zones with selectable coverage angles from 30° to 120°
- Visual detection display for fast, precise positioning during installation
Powered by proven INTREPID™ microwave algorithms, the system delivers accurate, reliable coverage across diverse outdoor environments.
Simplified Deployment & Open Integration
The compact single-head design features Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing installation complexity, infrastructure costs, and potential failure points.
The MS30-POE-S also integrates seamlessly into modern security platforms with:
- PSIM/IMS integration
- IP-based control and remote configuration
- MQTT protocol
- TLS 1.3 secure encrypted communications support
Designed for More Than Perimeter Security
The MS30-POE-S is ideal for a wide range of outdoor applications, including:
- Vehicle ingress and egress monitoring
- Loading docks and service corridors
- Restricted access zones
- Exterior doorways
- Industrial yards
- Infrastructure gap coverage
- Transportation and logistics facilities
- Remote and unmanned sites
