No intruder goes unnoticed

PIR sensors
CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller is equipped with two PIR sensors with a 7° horizontal narrow viewing angle. They register changes in thermal radiation and detect motion within the protected zone.

K-band microwave sensor
The K-band microwave sensor emits low-power radio waves and registers their reflection from moving objects. While PIR sensors respond to thermal radiation, this sensor provides the detector with information about motion speed and direction, regardless of temperature.

Pre-alarm detection
When an object appears in the wider detection zone, the microwave sensor registers early motion — this is the pre-alarm stage. At this point, the detector activates the camera so it is ready to capture an image. If the object advances into the PIR-controlled narrow zone, the detector activates an alarm and immediately takes a photo. This sequence ensures the image is captured at the exact moment of intrusion, providing clear and timely visual verification.

Thermal interference filter
In armed mode, the detector constantly analyzes the thermal diagram from the PIR sensors, including the IR radiation intensity, thermal spot size, motion speed, time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters. The algorithm filters out potential false triggers such as headlights, lighting devices, and heat flows instantly and with high accuracy. As a result, the detector accurately responds to motion without false alarms.

Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is a software mechanism that maintains the contrast of the thermal diagram even if the ambient temperature is close to the temperature of the human body. With each measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensor data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory, ensuring accurate detection across the entire operating temperature range: from −25 °C to +60 °C.

Sensitivity level
CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller features three sensitivity levels that can be adjusted through an Ajax app. The optimal sensitivity level depends on the facility type, the presence of potential sources of false alarms, and the specifics of the protected area. A low sensitivity level is suitable for areas prone to false alarms, normal sensitivity is ideal for most facilities, and high sensitivity is recommended for areas with no obstacles.

Professional installation
For CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller to deliver precise intrusion detection, correct installation is essential. The detector should be mounted on a vertical wall at a height of 2–4 m. Its swivel mount allows fine-tuning of the tilt angle so the sensors align with the expected intrusion path. The Motion detection area feature in the Ajax app helps configure the detection zone accurately, ensuring the device registers movement exactly where it is needed — without blind spots or unwanted triggers.

Sabotage resistance

Anti-masking system
CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller detects any attempts to mask the detector’s sensitive area, including blocking it with an obstacle, painting over or taping. In case of a masking attempt, the detector automatically takes photos.

Magnetometer
The integrated magnetometer records local magnetic field data during calibration, allowing the detector to identify and monitor the installed magnet. Instant alarms are activated by any changes in the magnetic field.

Tamper alarm
The detector enclosure is equipped with a tamper button, which notifies a security company and users once the detector is detached from the surface or if its enclosure is opened.

Device authentication against spoofing
The hub checks the device's unique parameters for authentication during each communication session. If any parameter fails the check, the hub ignores commands from the device.

Data encryption
All data the system stores and transmits is protected by block encryption featuring a dynamic key. This encryption deters intentional sabotage attempts on the detector.

Regular polling
The device regularly exchanges data with the hub. The system controls each device state and reports if there is a malfunction or connection loss.

Informative push notifications
The Ajax system instantly delivers informative notifications of alarms and events. Security companies and users receive precise details about an incident, including a triggered device, time, and location.

Connection loss detection
The device regularly exchanges data with the hub and can send three data packets as often as every 12 seconds. If the connection is lost, the system detects it in just 36 seconds and notifies the security company and users about the incident.

Unique wireless technologies

The Ajax system uses two-way secure radio communication based on Jeweller and Wings proprietary protocols. Radio protocols work in parallel and focus on their own function, guaranteeing instant data delivery even with communication interruptions and a weak signal.

• Up to 1,700 m of communication range in open space
• Data encryption
• Notification of jamming and connection loss
• Over-the-air firmware updates

Peace of mind on demand

• HDR technology for clear photos
• IR illumination for low light conditions
• The first photo is delivered in less than 9 seconds2
• Up to 5 photos in a series
• Up to 640 × 480 px photo resolution

CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller is equipped with a camera to quickly assess the situation on spot. Thanks to pre-alarm detection, the device captures a series of photos exactly within the detection zones. These images are combined into GIF or MP4 format to show how the situation unfolds. The detector can also take photos at the user's request from the Ajax app, regardless of the security mode. In total, eight types of photo verification are available.

Outstanding autonomy

CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller delivers impressive autonomy: up to three years of operation on pre-installed batteries. The system will notify a security company and users of low battery levels in advance.
A 12–24 V⎓ external power supply unit can be connected to the detector. In this case, pre-installed batteries will serve as a backup power source. An external power supply is not required for the device to receive over-the-air updates.

Ready for heat and cold

CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller is ready to operate in any weather. The device withstands heat up to +60 °С and cold down to −25 °С. Additionally, the detector can be installed with the hood to protect the anti-masking system from rain and snow.

• IP55 protection rating
• Efficiency in heat and cold
• The hood to protect against rain and snow

Effortless installation and setup

CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller is ready to operate straight out of the box. With a 2–4 m installation height and a swivel mount, it offers flexibility in choosing the right position. Ajax apps help quickly make the device a part of the system: simply add the device to the hub by scanning the QR code. In the Ajax PRO app, installers can check the camera's field of view and detection area, as well as configure the detector remotely.
