Unique lens

The Fresnel lens pattern is produced such that there are noticeable distinctions between the patterns representing a person, an animal, and thermal noise. At the level of an adult's head and body, the lens captures large areas of radiation from the body.The diagram is more detailed when the pieces are smaller. The MotionCam Jeweller lens gives the detector precise information regarding the type of movement being made by the thermal object in the detecting zone.

Installation by experts

Installing MotionCam in the proper location, at the proper height, and perpendicular to the likely intrusion path ensures an informative thermal diagram. It greatly raises detection precision. The pet immunity feature is also more effective when MotionCam is installed by an expert.

Thermal interference filter

The infrared radiation intensity, heat spot size, motion speed, time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters are all immediately analysed by the detector from the thermal diagram.

Engineers at Ajax created SmartDetect after studying tens of thousands of IR sensor triggers produced by people, pets, and thermal interference. The software program quickly and accurately identifies false alarm markers. Because of this, the detector responds to a person accurately, and it does not worry the user with unnecessary alarms.

Temperature adjustment

Temperature compensation is a software process that maintains the thermal diagram contrast even when the ambient temperature approaches that of the human body.

Using the coefficient table, it has stored in its memory, the detector adjusts the PIR sensor data for each ambient temperature measurement. Over its entire operational temperature range, the detector remains effective.

Sensitivity level

The detector adjusts to the environment of a specific room using the sensitivity setting and accounting for any thermal interference or pets. The markers used to filter false alerts change when the sensitivity level is adjusted.

When the detector's sensitivity is poor, even an active pet is less likely to trigger a signal. Furthermore, using high sensitivity, it will sound the alarm if any motion is detected within the area.

Both locally and remotely, the Ajax app's sensitivity settings are configurable.

Protect yourself from false alarms

To prevent motion detector false alarms, we have paired advanced optics with a software filter. It offers great detection accuracy when combined with expert installation.

Not just a picture

With MotionCam, you'll be aware of the situation at home even before the intruders known that they have been seen. The instant motion alarm is followed by a succession of images for a precise situational assessment.

Unique communication

MotionCam detector combines two radio protocols at once: Wings for photo transmission and Jeweller for alert notification. Even with communication breakdowns and a weak connection, Wings can deliver the first snapshot from the incident in just 9 seconds, while Jeweller enables fast alarm transmission. The detector's communication range with the hub is up to 1,700 metres, allowing it to be simply installed where it will be most effective.

Simple installation and connection

A few touches will add the MotionCam detector to an Ajax security system. Assign the detector to the room in the Ajax app by opening it and scanning the QR code. The detector enclosure doesn't need to be taken apart. You can safely attach the detector on a flat surface or in a corner using the SmartBracket mounting plate.
