Description
MotionCam Outdoor is a wireless outdoor motion detector with a camera for alarm verification. Detects movement at a distance of up to 15 meters. Has anti-masking protection, ignores animals when correctly configured and installed.
MotionCam Outdoor works as part of the Ajax system by connecting to the hub via Jeweller and Wings encrypted radio protocols. The communication range without obstacles is up to 1,700 meters.
Operating principle
MotionCam Outdoor is an outdoor motion detector with a camera. IR sensors of the detector identify intrusions by detecting moving objects with temperatures close to that of the human body. Visual verification helps you instantly assess the situation, relieving users of unnecessary anxiety, and security companies — from false calls of patrols.
In the armed mode, the detector constantly reads signals from infrared (IR) sensors. When motion is detected, MotionCam Outdoor transmits an alarm to the hub and signals it by flashing the LED indicator (if indication is enabled).
An alarm is detected if both IR sensors detect a movement. The detector takes 1 to 5 photos at a time (depending on the settings) and transmits them to the hub. You can enable the Send Photo in Case of Alarm function in the detector settings.
When triggered, the hub activates sirens, starts scenarios, and notifies users and the security company. In case of an alarm, photos are transmitted to the monitoring station of the security company and to all users of the system who have access to the hub’s event feed. All alarms, photos, and events of MotionCam Outdoor are recorded in the event feed of the Ajax app.
The detector doesn’t go into the armed mode instantly. The time for switching to armed mode depends on two factors: exit delays (specified in the detector settings) and the hub – detector ping interval (Jeweller settings, the default value is 36 seconds). In the first case, the delay is set by the user. In the second case, the delay is caused by the fact that the hub notifies the detector about the transition to the armed mode not instantly, but within one ping interval.
The range of motion detection is set manually — with a scrollbar on the detector body — and is from 3 to 15 meters. This allows you to accurately set the detection area and avoid false triggerings on bushes, trees, or other objects.
Users know exactly where motion is detected. The notifications contain the name of the hub (name of the guarded object), the name of the device, and the virtual room to which the detector is assigned.
Photo verification of alarms
When the detector is triggered, the built-in MotionCam Outdoor camera can take 1 to 5 images with a resolution of 320 × 176 and up to 3 images with a resolution of 640 × 352 pixels. The detector has infrared illumination for shooting in the dark, which is activated only when an alarm is raised.
A version of the detector with Photo on Demand and Photo by Scenario is also available. In addition to the Photo by Alarm feature, the PhOD version can take photos on user demand at any time and automatically take photos in case of Ajax fire detectors alarm.
A series of photos are played back in the app as animation, which allows you to evaluate the incident in dynamics. Photos are available both in Ajax apps and in the monitoring station software of the security company. MotionCam Outdoor uses the Wings radio protocol to transmit photos.
Photo delivery time
The photo delivery time to Ajax apps depends on the selected resolution, detector connection method (detector connects to the hub directly or via the range extender), Wings signal strength, and the Internet connection speed. The alarm messages are delivered immediately.
