Description

Motion sensors as part of a burglar alarm system help protect the perimeter from intrusion and damage to property in residential buildings, offices, public places, etc. 
The work of the motion sensor of the security system is to fix the infrared sensor of thermal radiation that comes from a person. When the detector detects an object in motion, the Fresnel lens transmits a signal to the photocell, and the circuit is completed. The motion sensor sends an alarm signal to the alarm central to confirm the incident, which informs the users of the system and activates the detectors. Presence sensors are installed outdoors and indoors, depending on the type of device. Some motion detectors are equipped with cameras to acknowledge alarms. With the help of sensors with a photo or video verification, false alarms can be avoided.

Photo verification

Photo by Alarm
The built-in camera is activated if the detector is armed and motion is detected.\

Photo on Demand
The user takes pictures at any time or when the detector is armed (depending on settings). The feature is disabled by default.

Photo by Scenario
The detector’s camera takes pictures automatically when other Ajax detectors are triggered. The feature is disabled by default.

Photo by Schedule
The detector automatically takes photos at a specified time. This feature is available for hubs (except Hub Jeweller) with firmware version OS Malevich 2.19 or higher.

Quick Start Guide

New standard on intrusion detection

MotionCam (PhOD) has a built-in camera that takes photos once the detector is triggered. It needs just 9 seconds to show the actual situation on the scene. With visual evidence available in Ajax apps, the security company can quickly check whether the threat is real to respond accordingly. Photo verification relieves users of unnecessary anxiety and security companies of false patrol calls. It takes a click for the user to take an on-demand photo at any time to monitor the house's state. Also, the detector can automatically take pictures by an alarm of another device in the system and by a specific schedule.

Photo verification of detector alarms

4 types of photo verification

  • Photo by alarm
  • Photo on demand
  • Photo by scenario
  • Photo by schedule
Horizontal viewing angle

Pet immunity

Up to 2,000 m

range of communication with an Ajax hub

Strict permission distribution

The Privacy menu in Ajax apps helps accurately adjust access to visual data for users and security company operators: who and when can request a photo, which detector can take on-demand photos, and who can view the received pictures or streams from integrated surveillance cameras.

Photo verification in 9 seconds without privacy concerns

IR backlight

under low-light conditions

Temperature compensation

Effective detection in the heat and cold

Vertical viewing angle

Detailed event log

The event log records 500 recent events within the system. The data is explicit with the device, time, and event description. It helps reconstruct the actual event and find the causes to obtain comprehensive information for the police or an insurance company.
