The Pro Scan handheld security scanner is a lightweight metal detector wand built to check people or bags for metal objects before they go somewhere they shouldn’t. It picks up both large and small metal items with high sensitivity detection, giving you a fast, reliable first layer of security screening.
Who Uses a Handheld Security Scanner
This is not just a tool for professional security guards. Churches and small event venues use one for quick bag checks at the door. Private schools and daycare centers use them for a fast visitor screening. Home business owners who deal with the public get real use out of one too, and so does anyone who wants a quick metal check before letting an unfamiliar visitor into the house.
How the Pro Scan Detects Metal
The scanning head reacts to metal objects and gives you immediate feedback through an audible alert and a visual indicator at the same time. It is built to catch metal specifically, knives, guns, tools, coins, and jewelry all register. It will not detect anything non-metal, so plastic, ceramic, or other non-metal items will pass through without triggering a response.
Using the Pro Scan Correctly
Make sure the unit is fully charged before you start. Hold the scanning head about 1 to 2 inches from the person or bag you are checking, close enough to pick up small metal objects without making direct contact. Sweep slowly and methodically over the entire area, pockets, waistbands, and bags all need a pass, not just the torso. Turn the unit off between uses to save battery life.

Important Product Limits
The Pro Scan detects metal only, it will not find plastic, ceramic, or other non-metal items, so treat it as one layer of screening rather than a complete security system. It is not waterproof, keep it away from rain or wash-downs. It does not include a protective case, so plan on picking one up separately if you carry it around often.
Does the Pro Scan detect non-metallic objects?
No. It is built specifically for metal detection, so plastic, ceramic, or wood items will not trigger a response.
Is the Pro Scan waterproof?
No. Keep it away from rain, washing, or any other water exposure.
Does it come with a case?
No protective case is included, so budget for one separately if you want extra protection for regular carrying.
How close does it need to be to detect metal?
Hold the scanning head about 1 to 2 inches from the person or object you are checking for the most accurate response.
I have spent years around security and self defense gear, and a scanner like this earns its spot for anyone who wants a fast, honest first check before letting something or someone past the door.
