ABSTRACT:
The obstruction detection device for an infrared intruder detection system comprises at least one transparent facet having a roughened surface; a light emitter arranged for emitting light towards the roughened surface; a light detector arranged for detecting the intensity of light, which is transmitted or reflected or diffracted by the roughened surface into a specific direction of space; and an output device for outputting an alarm-signal, when an absolute difference between the intensity of the detected light and a reference value exceeds a threshold value. A liquid or spray applied onto the roughened surface changes its scattering patterns. This change triggers the alarm-signal.
