HD to capture every detail

With HD technology, photos from cameras become clearer and sharper, allowing better visibility of text, faces, and other details. Based on the facility requirements, PRO users can choose from four resolution options to balance image quality and delivery speed. HD resolution is ideal when a priority is to capture as much detail as possible. Images with lower resolution are sent faster, which is important for real-time monitoring. For example, with QVGA resolution, images arrive in just 4.5 seconds. The preferred photo resolution can be configured remotely via Ajax desktop and mobile apps.

Four resolutions are available

• HD (960 × 720 pixels)
  
  • The best quality to capture any detail
• VGA (640 × 480 pixels)
  
  • Balance of quality and delivery speed
• QVGA (320 × 240 pixels)
  
  • Fast delivery with moderate quality
• QQVGA (160 × 120 pixels)
  
  • The fastest delivery

HDR for challenging lighting conditions

Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller captures clear, balanced images using an advanced optical system, a CMOS sensor, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology. HDR improves colors and contrast by combining photos with different exposures into one. This prevents images from being too bright or too dark. As a result, photos look more colorful, detailed, and natural — just like we see things in real life.

Instant awareness on demand

Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller takes just 4.5 seconds to send a photo in resolution of 320 × 240 pixels and 15.5 seconds for an HD photo. In either case, this allows users to promptly access the actual situation at the scene. It takes a simple tap in an Ajax app to take a photo on demand. Additionally, the device can be configured to automatically take photos by arming/disarming, by schedule, or when another detector in the system is triggered.

TurboWings for fast photo transmission over long distances

Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller not only captures exceptional detail but also transmits it to the app incredibly fast over long distances. This is possible thanks to TurboWings, an Ajax Systems' enhanced data transfer protocol. With TurboWings, Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller delivers photos twice as fast as other Ajax motion detectors.

Privacy first

Detailed event log
The event log records the last 500 events in the system, providing clear data on the device, time, and event description. On-demand photos are linked to the user who requested them. Security companies do not receive these photos.

Strict permission distribution
The Privacy menu in Ajax apps helps precisely configure access to visual data for users and security company operators. Only authorized users can request a photo and view received images.

Encryption and GDPR
Photos are encrypted at every stage of transmission. Only authorized system users can access the virtual Ajax Cloud storage and view photos. Once stored, the photos are neither processed nor analyzed. The Ajax Cloud server is located in several geographically dispersed data centers, which meets the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.

No intruder goes unnoticed

PIR sensor
All Ajax motion detectors use PIR sensors by Excelitas Technologies, a field-leading American manufacturer specializing in designing and producing optronic components since 1931. Ajax Systems constantly proves the sensor’s Superior quality at the production stage: we test 100% of the manufactured devices. This approach ensures the utmost accuracy of intrusion detection.

Fresnel lens
The pattern of the Fresnel lens sections is designed to differentiate between the IR signatures of people, animals, and thermal noise. Large lens sections capture radiation at the level of an adult’s head and torso, while smaller sections make the diagram more detailed. The lens provides the detector with accurate data on thermal objects in the detection zone and the nature of their motion.

Fresnel lens
We processed thousands of thermal patterns caused by people and the environment to develop the SmartDetect software algorithm. In armed mode, the detector constantly analyzes the thermal diagram from the PIR sensor, including the IR radiation intensity, thermal spot size, movement 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 ambient temperature measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensors’ data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory. The detector is effective over the entire operating temperature range.

Sensitivity level
The detector features four 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
Superior MotionCam HD (PhOD) Jeweller is a device of the Ajax Superior product line. Only accredited Ajax Systems partners can sell, install, and administer Ajax Superior products. When installed correctly at a height of 2.4 m with the lens facing directly toward a potential intrusion path, the detector delivers an accurate thermal image and is immune to pets. It quickly detects real threats while minimizing false alarms from animals that weigh up to 20 kg and are under 50 cm tall, as well as other potential sources of thermal interference.

Sabotage resistance

Tamper alarm
The detector features a tamper button that activates an alarm if the device is detached from the surface or if its enclosure is opened. The system instantly notifies the security company and users of any intrusion attempts.

Data encryption
All data transmitted between system devices via proprietary radio protocols is encrypted. Each device uses individual authentication methods, making unauthorized reprogramming or data theft extremely difficult.

Informative notifications
An Ajax system instantly delivers informative notifications of alarms and events. Security companies and users receive precise details about the incident, including the triggered device, along with the time and location.

Device authentication to prevent spoofing
The hub automatically verifies each device's unique parameters during every communication session. If any parameter fails authentication, the hub ignores all commands from that device.

Jamming detection and frequency hopping
The hub continuously monitors the quality of wireless communication with system devices. If jamming is detected, the hub automatically switches between 17 available frequencies across 4 European bands5. At the same time, it sends a jamming alert to both users and the monitoring company.

Communication failure detection
Each system 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 only 36 seconds and notifies the security company and users about the incident.
