In November 2001, Optex purchased Security Enclosures Ltd, adding the industry renowned Redwall® range of specialist long range external detectors to its product portfolio. The addition of the Redwall® range of detectors made Optex the market leader in Event Driven CCTV (EDCCTV). It is Optex’s commitment to providing reliable and stable detectors that has enabled them to remain as the industry leaders in infra-red detection.
