This video provides an introduction to the popular types of security metal detector currently available, including the handheld metal detector, and the walk through metal detector, which is also referred to as an archway metal detector, knife arch or door frame metal detector.
As anyone who has ever flown will know, walk through security metal detectors are used in almost every airport in the world, with hand metal detector units, used by security staff to further scan anyone triggering an alarm as they pass through the walk through scanner.
There is obviously a massive difference in cost between a hand wand metal detector and arch type metal scanners, so we have included some suggestions, as to where the use of each type may be appropriate.
Speed of scanning is often an issue, especially when large groups of people need to be scanned quickly and accurately, so we have also included an introduction to the clever Random Search Selector which is often used to speed up throughput at the checkpoint.
