Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount PhOD White Wireless Motion Detector with Camera

Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller - White

The Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) is a wireless outdoor PIR motion detector built for elevated mounting, combining dual-technology detection with an integrated camera for instant photo verification. Designed to be installed at height, it delivers wide-area coverage with minimal blind spots, making it ideal for warehouses, industrial yards, commercial perimeters and large residential properties. It communicates with compatible Ajax hubs over the secure Jeweller and Wings radio protocols, sending alarms instantly and photo evidence shortly after.

Key Features

• High-mount design: Installs at a height of 2-4 m for broad, blind-spot-free area coverage.
• Dual detection technology: Combines two independent PIR sensors with a K-band microwave sensor, analysed by the SmartDetect and LISA algorithms to reject false alarms.
• Photo verification on demand: Captures a burst of photos on alarm, on a schedule, by scenario, on arm/disarm, or whenever a user requests them from the app.
• Animated alarm playback: Sequential photos are compiled into a GIF or short video so users can see how an event unfolded.
• Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to cover, spray, or otherwise obstruct the lens and sensor field of view.
• Tamper and accelerometer protection: Reports attempts to remove, tilt, or shift the detector from its mounting bracket.
• Long-range wireless link: Communicates with the hub at distances of up to roughly 1,700 m in open space via Jeweller and Wings protocols.
• Long battery life: Runs on pre-installed CR123A batteries rated for up to 3 years of typical use.
• Weatherproof build: Rated IP55 with a wide operating temperature range, plus an included hood to shield the lens from rain and snow.

Reliable Perimeter Coverage for Larger Sites

Because it is mounted higher than a standard outdoor detector, the MotionCam Outdoor HighMount is particularly well suited to protecting loading docks, storage yards, factory perimeters, car parks and other open commercial areas where a wide, unobstructed detection zone is needed. When motion is detected, security personnel or homeowners receive an immediate alert along with a short photo sequence, allowing them to confirm whether a response is genuinely required before acting - reducing false call-outs and improving response times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this detector need a hub to work? Yes, it operates as part of an Ajax security system and requires a compatible Ajax hub to transmit alarms and photos.

Can I request a photo at any time, not just during an alarm? Yes, the Photo on Demand feature lets users request an image from the detector's camera at any time through the Ajax app, regardless of arming status.

Is it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use? While optimised for outdoor, high-mount installation, the detector is built to withstand outdoor conditions and can also be used indoors where elevated coverage is beneficial.
