Burglar Alarm Sensors

A detector that pairs a PIR with a microwave sensor and raises an alarm when the two sensors agree, which cuts false alarms in rooms with heat sources. The Pyronix KX10DTP3 needs both sensors to activate, the Ajax 143623.02.BL1 Superior MotionProtect Plus Fibra adds a K-band microwave sensor that activates when its PIR triggers, and the Hikvision DS-PDD12P-EG2-WE is a wireless dual-tech detector covering 12m.

Anti-masking lets a detector report when someone covers or obstructs it to blind it before a break-in. Models with it include the Aritech VE735AM with multi-channel anti-masking, the Texecom AKE-0001 Capture dual tech rated EN50131-2-4 Grade 3, the Optex VXI-AM outdoor detector and the Ajax 117717.09.WH1 Superior MotionProtect G3 Fibra.

Yes, with a pet-immune detector set up as its maker describes. The Pyronix KX10DTP3 is pet-tolerant up to about 24kg, the Ajax 44404.09.BL1 MotionProtect Fibra and 22934.23.BL1 MotionCam ignore pets when installed and configured correctly, and the Texecom GDC-0006 Capture D20-W has an optional PetWise mode to reduce false alarms.

When a room is better covered from the centre rather than a corner, or when the walls leave no good mounting point. The Pyronix OCTOPUSDQ is a wired quad PIR with 360° coverage to 12m at 12V DC, the Texecom AKF-0006 Capture CQ covers 9.3m at 360°, and the Texecom Capture CD-W (GDE-0001, GDE-0006) adds a microwave sensor.

Detectors built for outside use, in weatherproof housings. The Optex VXI-AM is IP55 rated with dual PIRs and covers up to 12m, the Texecom AFQ-0001 Premier External TD is IP65 sealed, the Hikvision DS-PDTT15AM-LM-WE is an IP65 tri-tech wireless detector, and the GJD022 ELITE covers 10 to 35m for alarm and lighting control.

A detector with a built-in camera that takes photos when it triggers, so an alarm can be checked before anyone responds. Ajax MotionCam Jeweller models such as the 36490.120.BL1 take photos on alarm and on demand, the 53771.169.WH1 Superior MotionCam Fibra is a wired version, and the 36662.121.WH1 MotionCam Outdoor is IP56 rated for outside.

Yes, external perimeter detectors are made for it. The GJD230 D-TECT 2 IP runs on PoE with a beam range programmable up to 30m and integrates directly with major VMS and camera systems, the GJD260 D-TECT 3 IP is a PoE dual-tech version, and the GJD300D D-TECT 2 has outputs that can control cameras, alarm panels and GJD lighting controllers.

Yes, the Texecom Capture LR50 is a 50m long-range corridor PIR for hallways and other long, narrow spaces, with a quad element pyro sensor; it is listed here as the AKW-0001 and GDF-0001. For wide open areas, the Texecom AKE-0001 covers 20m at 85°, and the GJD310 D-TECT 3 detects to a programmable 30m outdoors.

No, a wireless detector has to use the same radio protocol as the panel. Ajax Jeweller detectors pair with Ajax hubs, Texecom Ricochet detectors such as the GBW-0002 Premier External TD-W join a Ricochet mesh, and the Hikvision DS-PDD12P-EG2-WE is an AX Pro series detector, while the GJD660 D-TECT Universal is made to integrate with third-party wireless modules.
