Ajax MotionCam and Detectors

Ajax MotionCam detectors combine a PIR motion sensor with a built-in camera, so an alarm comes with photos that let the user verify it. This page has indoor wireless Jeweller models such as the Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD), wired Fibra models such as the 44403.23.WH1, MotionCam Outdoor detectors with an IP56 rating, and replacement SmartBracket mounting panels in both white and black.

Choosing Ajax MotionCam and Detectors

Choose by where the detector goes, how it connects to the hub and which photo features you need.

Indoor wireless

The Superior MotionCam AM (PhOD) Jeweller 116768.306.WH1 adds anti-masking, raising an alarm when the lens is covered by stickers or paint, and runs on 2 × CR123A batteries. The Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller comes in white as the 118274.309.WH1 and in black as the 118275.309.BL1, and takes HD and HDR photos with IR illumination for low light. The 116768.306.WH1, 118274.309.WH1 and 118275.309.BL1 send alarms over Jeweller and photos over Wings, and take photos on alarm, on demand, by schedule and by scenario.

Wired Fibra

The MotionCam Fibra 44403.23.WH1 is a wired indoor PIR with photo verification for Ajax Fibra systems, detecting up to 12 m and taking 1–5 snapshots per alarm with an IR backlight. The Superior MotionCam (PhOD) Fibra 53771.169.WH1 adds photos on demand, by schedule or scenario and on arming or disarming, with four sensitivity levels and two tamper switches. The 44403.23.WH1 and 53771.169.WH1 take power from the Fibra line, with an LTO AA battery for the camera.

Outdoor

The MotionCam Outdoor PhOD 36662.121.WH1 detects up to 15 m with dual PIR sensors and anti-masking, and takes series photos, animation and Photo on Demand. The Ajax MotionCam Outdoor Wireless Motion Detector with Camera works with Hub 2 and Hub 2 Plus but not with ReX extenders. The MotionCam Outdoor HighMount 99164.282.WH1 is built for perimeter mounting at a height of 2–4 m. Each runs on CR123A batteries.

SmartBracket panels such as the white 21573.23.WH and the black 21569.23.BL let a MotionCam be mounted or re-mounted without dismantling the detector.

Frequently asked questions

Can an Ajax MotionCam be used outdoors?

Yes, but choose an outdoor version, which has a weatherproof housing. Indoor MotionCam models should stay indoors. Outdoor models use twin PIR sensors to help filter out false alarms and usually suit perimeter, yard and parking protection, with a high-mount option for fitting higher up.

Does an Ajax MotionCam run on batteries?

Yes, the wireless Jeweller versions run on batteries, while the wired Fibra versions take power from the Fibra line and carry a small auxiliary battery for the camera. Battery life usually depends on how many photos are taken and at what resolution, so check the maker's guidance when setting photo options.

What does Jeweller mean on an Ajax MotionCam?

Jeweller is Ajax's wireless radio protocol, and on a MotionCam it carries alarms and events to the hub. Photos travel over a second radio channel called Wings. A MotionCam with Jeweller in its name is a wireless detector that pairs with a compatible Ajax hub. The range here includes indoor and outdoor Jeweller detectors.

What is an Ajax MotionCam?

An Ajax MotionCam is a motion detector with a built-in camera that takes photos when it raises an alarm, so the alarm can be checked visually before anyone responds. Photos go to the Ajax app and, where connected, a monitoring station. The range here includes indoor, outdoor and wired versions, along with mounting brackets.
