The Triton Decoy 3D Smart Sensor, Non-functional is a replica of a fully functional Triton Smart Sensor (such as the Triton 3D Sense Pro or Ultra), designed primarily for deterrence and visual consistency within a security system.
It is a non-working dummy unit that has the exact physical appearance of the live sensor but lacks the internal components, power supply, and detection capabilities.
The decoy sensor is used as a cost-effective security measure, relying on psychological deterrence:
Deterrence: The primary function is to deter prohibited activities, such as vaping, smoking, or vandalism, by making individuals believe the area is under constant monitoring. The Triton sensors are widely deployed in locations where video cameras are inappropriate, such as school bathrooms, locker rooms, or dormitories.
Visual Uniformity: It ensures a uniform look across a facility. For example, a business may install live sensors in high-risk areas but use decoys in adjacent, lower-risk areas to prevent an intruder or student from distinguishing between active and inactive devices.
Cost Savings: It offers the visual benefits of a comprehensive monitoring system without the hardware and installation costs associated with a fully functional sensor in every single location.
