Garrett Paragon — Best-In-Class Screening

66 zones200 sensitivity levelsIP65 weatherproofUp to 10 h batteryFully networkable

Garrett's flagship walk-through detector — the one we sell and hire. AmbiScan and Zero Touch technology, 23+ application programs, tamper-proof controls and precise zone indication so staff see exactly where the alarm is. Designed to meet DfT, ECAC, STAC, Aena and CJIAC airport certification, yet equally suited to a festival gate, running on quick-swap batteries for up to 10 hours cordless.

Garrett Quick-Q technology is where the Paragon earns its keep at busy venues: dual-panel scanning discriminates left, centre and right, head to toe, so visitors keep their phones, keys and small metal items in their pockets instead of divesting them. Fewer items divested means fewer false alarms, faster lines and smaller crowds outside the door — and it doesn't affect the unit's certifications.

Networked screening

Every Archway On One Dashboard

Paragon walk-throughs can be fully networked with Garrett's iC Module, so security managers see queue flow, people counts, alarms and full checkpoint statistics live, on a control-room screen, a tablet or remotely.

  • Respond in seconds: adjust the settings of whole groups of walk-throughs at once when the threat level changes
  • Live statistics: passes per hour, alarm rates and diagnostics for every entrance, at a glance
  • Analyse afterwards: CMA Connect software turns each event's checkpoint data into informed decisions for the next one

Also Need Handheld Metal Detectors?

Pair your archways with the next-generation Garrett Guide — USB-C rechargeable, docking station included, held in stock at our warehouse for rapid delivery. Offset settings eliminate interference between archway and handheld.
