Ajax MotionCam Outdoor Jeweller wireless outdoor motion detector, photo by alarm

Overview

The Ajax MotionCam Outdoor Jeweller is a wireless outdoor motion detector with a built-in camera. When it raises the Ajax alarm, it photographs the scene and sends the pictures to the app, so you can see whether it was a person, a delivery or a stray animal before you call anyone. It suits gardens, yards, car parks and the outside of shops and warehouses on an Ajax Hub 2 family system.

Is it right for you?

• It suits an outside wall where you want to verify alarms with photos rather than go and look.
• Choose it if photos only on alarm are enough; the MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) adds photos on demand, by schedule and by scenario.
• It is rated IP55 for -25 to 60 °C, with a hood visor supplied.
• It works with Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G), Hub 2 Plus and the ReX 2 range extender.

Key features

• Two passive infrared (PIR) sensors with a 90° horizontal and 80° vertical view, and range adjustable from 3 to 15 m with a scrollbar on the enclosure.
• Pet immunity for animals up to 80 cm tall, with LISA and SmartDetect algorithms and temperature compensation.
• Photo by alarm: the camera, with a 105° horizontal and 50° vertical view, takes 1 to 5 images at 320 × 176 px (default) or 640 × 352 px, with infrared backlight for the dark.
• Photos arrive in up to 9 s at 320 × 176 px or 20 s at 640 × 352 px, depending on the resolution chosen.
• Anti-masking detects attempts to block the view, a tamper alarm reports removal from the SmartBracket, and communication loss is detected after 36 s.
• Four CR123A batteries, pre-installed: up to 3 years, or 2.5 years with the Delay when entering feature enabled.
• Jeweller radio up to 1,700 m in open space and Wings radio for photos with delivery checks.
• 206 × 108 × 93 mm, 470 g, white.

What else you need

An Ajax Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G) or Hub 2 Plus (or a ReX 2 range extender) and the Ajax app. The hood visor is in the box.

Installation

Mount it at 0.8 to 1.3 m on the SmartBracket panel with the hood visor fitted and the lens facing across the path of approach, then set the range scrollbar. In industrial buildings and warehouses it can instead be placed 0.5 m above ground to catch crawling intruders, but pet immunity is then lost. An Ajax installer can survey the area, aim the camera and add it to the hub.

Software and licences

Photo resolution, series length, sensitivity and anti-masking are set in the Ajax app, where the photos are viewed.

Before you buy

• Needs a Hub 2 family hub.
• Mounting at 0.5 m removes pet immunity.
• The Delay when entering feature reduces battery life from 3 to 2.5 years.
• Available in white.
