AJAX Curtain Outdoor Mini

Ajax Curtain Outdoor Mini – Wireless Dual-Technology Curtain Motion Detector

The Ajax Curtain Outdoor Mini is a compact, wireless curtain-type motion detector purpose-built to guard narrow entry points – windows, doors, garage openings, gates, and tight passageways – both indoors and outdoors. Rather than covering a wide area like a standard PIR sensor, it projects a narrow "curtain" of detection that catches intruders right at the point of entry, before they've had a chance to force their way further in. Its compact housing and IP55-rated build mean it can be mounted almost anywhere along a perimeter without disrupting a building's appearance.

Key Features

• Curtain-shaped detection zone – a narrow 15° horizontal angle combined with a wide 100° vertical angle creates a precise "curtain" of coverage, ideal for windows, doors, and narrow passages where a wide-area sensor would be impractical.
• Dual-technology detection – combines a PIR sensor with a K-band microwave sensor, cross-verifying every alarm to virtually eliminate false triggers from sunlight, heat surges, insects, or nearby equipment.
• 5m detection range – enough to reliably cover a doorway, window, or narrow side passage without extending into unrelated areas.
• Anti-masking protection – detects attempts to obstruct the lens with tape, paint, or fabric from up to 5cm away, alerting users and the monitoring company immediately.
• Pet immunity – a hardware Main/Pet mode switch ignores animals up to roughly 70cm in height when correctly mounted, reducing false alarms in homes with pets.
• IP55-rated, weatherproof housing – built to withstand outdoor conditions, from direct sun and rain to temperature swings, operating reliably from -25°C to +60°C.
• Compact, discreet design – small enough to install beside a garage, under an eave, or in a tight architectural recess without standing out.
• Flexible mounting – fits the included SmartBracket for flat vertical surfaces, or an angle bracket for parallel-to-wall placement, adapting to horizontal, vertical, or angled installs.
• Long battery life – runs up to 3 years on pre-installed batteries, with live battery status visible in the Ajax app.
• Encrypted wireless communication – connects to the hub over Jeweller (alarms and events) and Wings (firmware updates), with dynamic-key encryption and frequency hopping for resistance to jamming and interference.

Why Choose a Curtain Detector Over a Standard Motion Sensor?

Traditional wide-angle motion detectors aren't always practical – they can trigger on activity well outside the actual entry point, or simply can't be discreetly installed on doors, windows, or historic facades. A curtain-type detector like this one solves that by narrowing the detection zone down to exactly where it's needed: the entry point itself. This makes it especially valuable for garage doors, roller shutters, gates, side windows, and heritage buildings where nothing can be mounted directly on the door or window frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this detector be installed outdoors?
Yes, it's rated IP55 for dust and water resistance and operates reliably from -25°C to +60°C, making it suitable for outdoor perimeter protection as well as indoor use.

Will it false-alarm on my pets?
It includes a Main/Pet mode switch that, when enabled and the detector is correctly mounted, ignores animals up to approximately 70cm in height.

What's the difference between this and a standard motion detector?
Instead of covering a wide area, this detector projects a narrow "curtain" of detection (15° horizontal, 100° vertical) aimed precisely at an entry point like a door, window, or passage – reducing false alarms from unrelated movement nearby.

How long does the battery last?
Up to 3 years on the pre-installed batteries, with battery status visible at any time in the Ajax app.
