SensGuard VCNL4010 Wireless Security Sensor

The SensGuard VCNL4010 wireless security sensor is engineered for object protection against unauthorized touch, movement, or opening. It is ideal for securing paintings in museums and galleries, luxury items in retail showcases, and doors or windows in restricted areas. Using innovative optometric object control, the sensor monitors a 20–30 mm zone in front of an object and triggers an instant alert if that distance changes.

Discreet wireless optical sensor for shop windows and museum object protection.

How It Works

The sensor projects a short-range optical field toward the protected surface. If a painting is touched, a display item is shifted, or a window or showcase is opened, the 20–30 mm control zone changes, and the event is detected immediately. A paired receiver then activates a 90 dB alarm and lights the relevant zone indicator, helping staff respond at once. Wireless communication at 868 MHz with AES-128 encryption ensures secure, interference-resistant alerts.

Typical placements: above or beside paintings, inside showcases, near door/window frames, or adjacent to valuable objects.

The illustration shows recommended placement for the VCNL4010: mount the compact one-piece sensor near the object to be protected, align the optical field to the surface, and verify the 20–30 mm control zone. No cabling or drilling is required, and the built-in battery supports continuous 24/7 monitoring.

Example in Action

In a national gallery, VCNL4010 sensors were discreetly mounted above several paintings. When a visitor attempted to move one of the frames, the system triggered a 90 dB alert and highlighted the alarm zone. Security staff responded immediately, preventing damage and maintaining a safe visitor experience.

Installation

The VCNL4010 wireless security sensor installs in minutes: fix it near the object (painting, display window, sculpture, door, or window), set the 20-30 mm control distance, and pair it with the receiving unit. With a 5-year battery life, no wiring, it is discreet and low-maintenance for museums, galleries, and retail environments.
