Dahua ARD1613 Wired Curtain PIR Detector

Overview

The Dahua ARD1613 is a wired curtain detector. Its lens makes a thin vertical wall of passive infrared (PIR) detection rather than a wide fan, so it guards a line such as a row of windows, a glass shopfront or a balcony door without covering the room behind it. That lets you arm the perimeter while people are still inside.

Is it right for you?

• Choose it to cover windows, glass shopfronts, balcony doors, skylights and long corridors.
• It suits homes and shops that want the alarm set at night while people move freely inside.
• For whole-room coverage, a wide-angle detector such as the ARD1233 or ARD2235 is the better choice.
• Curtains or blinds that move through the beam will trigger it, so plan placement around them.

What else you need

Alarm cable for power, the alarm output and the tamper output.

Installation

An alarm installer should fit it on the wall or ceiling and align the curtain along the opening to be protected.

Keep curtains and blinds from moving through the beam.
