Smart Security & Sensors

This page brings together the devices of a connected security system: wireless and wired motion detectors, door and window contacts, glass-break and shock sensors, water leak and temperature detectors, a care radar, alarm panels, kits, keypads and communicators. It also holds 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/3G/4G, 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

Will any wireless sensor work with my alarm panel?

No, choose sensors from the same system as the panel. The Hikvision DS-PDD12P-EG2-WE belongs to the AX Pro series of the DS-PWA64-L-WE panel, the Pyronix MCEXTERNAL-WE runs on Enforcer 868 MHz two-way wireless, and the Ajax DoorProtect U (121293.03.WH1) connects to an Ajax hub over Jeweller radio.

Which motion detectors suit a home with pets?

Choose a pet-immune detector rated for the size of your animals. The Pyronix KX10DP-WE is pet immune for animals up to 20kg, the Hikvision DS-PDPC12PF-EG2-WE(B) PIR camera detector ignores pets up to 30kg, and the DS-PDD12P-EG2-WE dual-tech detector is designed to ignore small animals while detecting people.

Can I alarm a gate, shed or garage door?

Yes, with an outdoor magnetic contact. The Pyronix MCEXTERNAL-WE is an IP66, tamper-proof two-way wireless contact for gates, garages, sheds and roller shutters, with a battery life of up to 2 years. The Hikvision DS-PDMCX-E-WE is an IP66, UV stable AX PRO contact made for outdoor use.

Is there a sensor that warns of a water leak?

Yes, the Hikvision DS-PDWL-E-WE is a wireless water leak detector. It has a water-proof design, is configured remotely through a mobile app and uses frequency hopping against jamming. It is intended for homes, offices and commercial properties, to help prevent damage from water.

What does a face recognition access terminal do?

It controls a door by recognising an enrolled face or card instead of relying on a key. The Hikvision DS-K1T671TMW has a 7-inch touch screen, recognises faces from 0.3m to 3m, stores up to 50,000 faces and cards, is rated IP65 and supports two-way audio, over TCP/IP or Wi-Fi.
