Smart Security & Sensors

This page brings together devices of a connected security system, including wireless and wired motion detectors, door and window contacts, glass-break and shock sensors, a water leak detector, a temperature detector, a care radar, alarm panels, kits, keypads and communicators. It also includes Hikvision video intercom stations, face recognition and card access terminals, and wireless door chimes. The Ajax DoorProtect U 121293.03.WH1 connects to an Ajax hub over the Jeweller radio protocol and has a pre-installed CR123A battery.

Choosing Smart Security & Sensors

Decide what should raise an alert, how devices reach the panel, and how you are told.

Movement

The Hikvision DS-PDD12P-EG2-WE AX-Pro detector combines motion and microwave detection over 12m, ignores small animals and runs for up to 5 years on two built-in batteries. The DS-PDC15-EG2-WE(B) is a wireless curtain PIR with a long, narrow 15m range for guarding a line. The Pyronix KX10DP-WE is a wireless PIR with pet immunity for animals up to 20kg.

Doors, windows and glass

The Pyronix MCNANO-WE fits discreetly within a door or window frame, and the Hikvision DS-PDMC-EG2-WE(B) is a slim AX Pro opening sensor. Outside, the Pyronix MCEXTERNAL-WE is an IP66 contact for gates, garages, sheds and roller shutters. For glass, the Ajax GlassProtect S (AJA-67737) uses DualTone detection up to 9 m, and the Texecom AEL-0001 is a wired shock sensor certified to EN 50131-2-8 Grade 3.

Leaks, temperature and care

The AX PRO range also covers the DS-PDWL-E-WE water leak detector and the DS-PDTPH-E-WE temperature detector, which has a large display and an external probe. The DS-TDSB00-EKT/POE/4M is a non-contact fall detection radar.

Panels and communication

The Hikvision DS-PWA64-L-WE AX PRO panel supports 64 wireless zones and reports over Wi-Fi, TCP/IP and GPRS, with a 4520 mAh backup battery. The Pyronix ENF/KIT1-UK Enforcer kit pairs a two-way wireless panel and DIGI-Wi-Fi communicator with pet-immune PIRs and two keyfobs. On Texecom Premier Elite panels, the CEG-0001 ComGSM adds GPRS alarm reporting.

Door entry and access

The Hikvision DS-KV6113-PE1(C) video door station has a 2 MP camera and access control functions, and the DS-K1T671TMW face recognition terminal has a 7-inch touch screen and holds up to 50,000 faces and cards. For callers at the door, the Knightsbridge DC010 wireless chime offers 58 ringtones and needs no wiring.

Frequently asked questions

What is a security sensor?

A security sensor is a detector that spots an event, such as movement, a door opening, breaking glass or a water leak, and signals the alarm panel or hub. The panel then sounds a siren or sends an alert to your phone or a monitoring centre. Sensors can be wired or wireless. The range here includes motion detectors, door contacts, glass-break detectors and a water leak detector.

What are security monitoring devices?

Security monitoring devices are the parts of a system that watch a property and pass on what they find. Detectors and cameras sense events, the control panel decides what to do, and a communicator sends alerts by Wi-Fi, mobile data or phone line to you or a monitoring company. The range here includes alarm panels, diallers, communicators and a care radar.

How do motion sensors work in a smart security system?

A motion sensor usually uses a PIR element to pick up the body heat of someone moving across its view. It then signals the hub, which can sound the alarm or send an alert to your phone. Dual-tech models add microwave detection to cut false alarms, and pet-immune versions can ignore small animals. The range here includes wireless PIR, curtain and dual-tech detectors.

What features matter when choosing home security sensors?

The key features are compatibility with your panel or hub, the detection range and angle, and whether you need pet immunity. Also consider battery life, tamper protection, encrypted two-way radio and the security grade. Outdoor contacts need a suitable weather rating. The range here includes sensors for Hikvision AX PRO, Pyronix Enforcer, Texecom and Ajax systems.

Do security sensors have cameras?

No, a standard security sensor does not, but some motion detectors include a small camera that captures images so an alarm can be checked visually. That lets you confirm a real intrusion on your phone before reacting. Ordinary PIRs and door contacts simply report that something happened. The range here includes a wireless PIR camera detector alongside standard sensors.
