Overview
The Ajax MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller is a wireless indoor motion detector with a camera that does more than photograph alarms. PhOD stands for photo on demand: you can take a picture of the room from the Ajax app whenever you choose, and the detector can also photograph on a schedule, when the system is armed or disarmed, or when an Ajax fire detector triggers. It covers up to 12 m, ignores pets up to 20 kg and suits homes, holiday flats, shops and offices on an Ajax Hub 2 family system.
Is it right for you?
- It suits a home or business where you want to check on a room at any time, not just after an alarm, for example a holiday home or a stockroom.
- Choose it if you want a photo when a fire detector triggers or every time the system is armed.
- If photos only on alarm are enough, the standard MotionCam costs less to run on batteries.
- It is indoor only (IP50, -10 to 40 °C) and works with Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G), Hub 2 Plus and the ReX 2 range extender.
Key features
- Passive infrared (PIR) sensor with up to 12 m range at 2.4 m, 88.5° horizontal angle, 0.3 to 2 m/s detection and three sensitivity levels.
- Pet immunity for animals up to 20 kg and 50 cm tall, SmartDetect algorithm and temperature compensation.
- Five photo triggers: by alarm, on demand from the app, by schedule (hub on OS Malevich 2.19 or later), by scenario when Ajax fire detectors trigger, and on arming or disarming. On demand and scenario photos are off by default.
- Photos at 640 × 480 px, 320 × 240 px (default) or 160 × 120 px, in series of 1 to 5 (1 to 3 at the highest resolution), with infrared backlight for the dark and HDR on firmware 16.59.36.5 or later (availability depends on region).
- Delivery in up to 7 s, 9 s or 20 s depending on resolution, with the hub on Ethernet or 4G and 2 to 3 bars of Wings signal.
- Two CR123A batteries, pre-installed: up to 4 years with photo on demand off, up to 3 years with it on.
- Jeweller radio up to 1,700 m in open space, Wings radio for photos, tamper alarm and communication loss detection within 36 s.
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. Photo by schedule needs the hub on OS Malevich 2.19 or later. Photo by scenario needs Ajax fire detectors on the system.
Installation
Mount it indoors at 2.4 m on the SmartBracket panel, lens facing across the likely path of entry. An Ajax installer can site it, add it to the hub and set the photo rules.
Software and licences
Photo on demand, schedules and scenarios are switched on and configured in the Ajax app. In the PRO Desktop app, photos on demand can be taken and viewed only from a personal account that the hub administrator has given the right to; they are not available to a security company profile.
Before you buy
- Photo on demand is off by default and shortens battery life from 4 years to 3 when enabled.
- Needs a Hub 2 family hub.
- Indoor use only.
- Choose black or white; the detector is 135 × 70 × 60 mm.
