Editorial note

The Optex HX-40RAM stands out for its solid detection performance thanks to its passive infrared sensor (PIR), capable of covering a range of 12 meters. This makes it a wise choice for ensuring the security of outdoor spaces. Its waterproof design and IP55 certification guarantee reliable operation even in harsh weather conditions, thus offering appreciable durability. The installation of this product is facilitated by included mounting brackets and screws, allowing for quick setup. However, the weight of 600 g may make installation more complex for some people, especially when it comes to mounting it at heights above 2.5 m. Additionally, the wired connection, while effective, may restrict placement options and require extra work to conceal the cables. In terms of value for money, the model offers satisfactory performance, but the lack of wireless connectivity could be a downside for users looking for a cable-free solution. The operating temperature range is relatively wide (-20 to 60 °C), but may not be suitable for extreme environments. Overall, the Optex HX-40RAM is a robust and effective product, ideal for those who prioritize outdoor security, even if some features could be improved to meet a broader range of needs.
