Ajax MotionCam HDR White Wireless Motion Detector with Photo Verification

Ajax MotionCam HDR White – Wireless Motion Detector with Photo Verification

The Ajax MotionCam HDR White is an indoor wireless PIR motion detector that goes beyond a simple alarm trigger by capturing an on-the-spot photo of whatever caused the movement. Running on Ajax's encrypted Jeweller and Wings radio protocols and pairing with any compatible Ajax hub, it gives installers and homeowners real visual proof of an intrusion, a false trigger, or a wandering pet, without the expense or complexity of installing a full camera system.

Key Features

• HDR photo capture – blends two exposures of the same scene into one balanced image, keeping detail visible in both bright and shadowed areas rather than a washed-out or overly dark frame.
• Photo by alarm – automatically snaps a picture the instant motion is detected while the system is armed, giving immediate evidence of what tripped the sensor.
• Photo on demand and by schedule – lets users pull a live snapshot from the Ajax app whenever they want, or set the detector to capture images automatically on a schedule or alongside another triggered device.
• Pet-friendly detection – filters out animals up to roughly 20 kg and under about 0.5 m tall, cutting down on false alerts caused by cats and small-to-medium dogs.
• 12-metre detection range – covers a wide indoor area with an approximate 88.5° horizontal field of view when mounted at the recommended height.
• Long-lasting battery – runs on two included CR123A cells for up to 4 years with Photo on Demand switched off, or up to 3 years with the feature active.
• Dual encrypted radio links – alarms travel over the Jeweller protocol while photos are sent via Wings, both using rotating encryption keys and frequency hopping to resist interference and interception.
• Tamper and sabotage alerts – flags any attempt to pry the unit off its bracket or open the enclosure.
• Simple, tool-light installation – mounts on the included SmartBracket panel and pairs to a hub in seconds via QR code scan in the Ajax app.

Why Add Photo Verification to Your Security System?

A standard PIR sensor can only confirm that something moved, not what it was. By attaching a real image to every alarm, the MotionCam HDR White lets monitoring staff or homeowners visually rule out a false alarm before anyone is dispatched, which is especially valuable in homes with pets or busy entryways. It suits both self-monitored households wanting quick peace of mind and professionally monitored sites where cutting down unnecessary callouts matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my pets set off false alarms?
The detector is built to ignore animals up to around 20 kg and 0.5 m in height when installed correctly, so most cats and smaller dogs won't trigger a false event.

How long will the batteries last?
Expect up to 4 years of use with Photo on Demand turned off, or up to 3 years if you keep that feature enabled, using the supplied CR123A batteries.

Can I request a photo outside of an alarm event?
Yes, Photo on Demand lets you pull a fresh snapshot from the Ajax app at any time once the feature is switched on in the device settings.
