Pedestrian Alert PXALERT

Summary

The Proxicam External Pedestrian Alert (SKU: PXALERT-ENG / PXALERT-ESP) is a heavy-duty, outward-facing warning module designed to notify pedestrians when they breach an active machine's exclusion zone. By combining a high-intensity yellow LED strobe with a loud spoken voice alert, it guarantees immediate situational awareness and safety compliance in noisy or hazardous industrial environments.
