| Hand Held (HHMD) | Door Frame (DFMD) | X-Ray Baggage Scanner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it checks | People, one at a time, with a wand | People, as they walk through a gate | Bags, parcels and handbags |
| Best for | Small events, backup checks, VIP and side entries | Main entry gates at medium and large events | Events where guests bring bags, laptops or parcels |

| Space needed | Almost none | A lane the width of the gate | A corridor of 2 to 3 metres plus queue space |

Common questions
What is the difference between a hand held and a door frame metal detector?
A hand held detector is a wand your staff move over each person, so it is slower but needs no setup. A door frame detector is a gate people walk through, which is much faster for busy entrances.
Do I need an X-ray scanner, or is a metal detector enough?
A metal detector checks people. If guests will bring bags, laptops or parcels, an X-ray scanner lets you look inside them without opening each one. Many corporate events and expos use both.
Can a metal detector find things that are not metal?
No. Metal detectors only respond to metal. For bags and parcels, an X-ray scanner is the better tool.
How do I know how many units I need?
It depends on the number of guests and how fast they arrive. Try our Security Calculator, or call 7275559635 and we will plan it with you.
