Ajax MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) White Wireless Motion Detector with Camera & Hood

Ajax MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) White Wireless Motion Detector with Camera & Hood

The Ajax MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) is a wireless outdoor PIR motion detector with a built-in camera, giving you instant photo verification of every alarm. Designed to withstand harsh weather, it comes with a protective hood that shields the lens and anti-masking sensors from rain and snow. It communicates with an Ajax hub over the encrypted Jeweller and Wings radio protocols, making it a reliable addition to any Ajax wireless security system protecting driveways, yards, warehouses, or commercial perimeters.

Key Features

• Photo verification of alarms: Captures a photo the moment motion is detected so you can visually confirm real threats.
• Photo on Demand: Request a live snapshot from the sensor at any time to check on the property.
• Multiple capture modes: Supports photo by alarm, by scenario, by schedule, and by arming/disarming for flexible monitoring.
• Adjustable detection range: Detects movement up to 15 metres, suitable for medium to large outdoor zones.
• Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to block, paint over, or cover the lens, alerting users and the monitoring station.
• Pet immunity: Ignores animals up to 80 cm in height when correctly installed, reducing false alarms.
• Weatherproof hood included: Protects the camera and masking sensors from rain, snow, and glare.
• Long battery life: Runs on 4 pre-installed CR123A batteries for up to 3 years of autonomous operation.
• Long-range wireless connection: Communicates with the hub at distances of up to 1,700 metres in open space via the secure Jeweller and Wings protocols.

Reliable Outdoor Coverage With Visual Confirmation

This detector suits homeowners and installers who need more than a simple motion alarm. Because it captures an image with every triggered event, security teams and end users can quickly distinguish a genuine intrusion from a false alarm caused by wind, animals, or passing vehicles — without a physical patrol. It is well suited to parking areas, private house perimeters, unheated outbuildings, offices, and other facilities that need discreet, battery-powered monitoring with visual proof of activity.
