Ajax Outdoor Security Explained

Ajax Alarm Systems: Advanced Ajax Outdoor Security Protection for Your Home and Business

Protect Your Property Before Intruders Get Inside with Ajax Outdoor Security Solutions

When it comes to protecting your home or business, security shouldn’t start at the front door. The best security systems detect potential intruders before they have the opportunity to enter your property.

Ajax outdoor security offers an advanced approach to security, combining intelligent motion detection, sophisticated sensor technology, photo verification and wireless communication to provide an additional layer of protection around your property.

With a range of specialised Ajax outdoor security detectors, including the Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor, Ajax DualCurtain Outdoor, Ajax MotionCam Outdoor and Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount, there are solutions to suit different property layouts, security requirements and installation environments.

Whether you’re protecting a family home, driveway, backyard, commercial premises, warehouse or business perimeter, Ajax outdoor security protection can help provide early warning of suspicious activity.

Let’s take a closer look at the four key devices and how they can help secure your property.

1. Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor – Intelligent Outdoor Motion Detection

The Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor is designed to provide reliable outdoor motion detection and act as the first line of defence around your property.

Using two independent PIR motion sensors and intelligent software algorithms, MotionProtect Outdoor analyses movement to help distinguish genuine human activity from environmental interference.

This is particularly important outdoors, where moving trees, plants, animals and changing weather conditions can potentially trigger conventional motion detectors.

Key Features and Benefits

    • Dual PIR sensors: Uses two independent motion sensors to improve detection accuracy.

    • Intelligent false alarm prevention: Advanced signal analysis helps distinguish people from environmental movement.

    • Pet immunity: Designed to reduce false alarms caused by animals within its specified detection parameters.

    • Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to cover, obstruct or interfere with the detector.

    • Weather-resistant construction: Designed for outdoor operation in demanding weather conditions.

    • Wireless technology: Communicates with the Ajax hub using secure Jeweller radio technology.

    • Extended battery life: Offers up to five years of battery operation under specified conditions.

With an adjustable detection range of approximately 3–15 metres, MotionProtect Outdoor is ideal for monitoring outdoor areas such as driveways, side access paths, yards, gardens and external building approaches.

It provides an excellent solution for property owners who want reliable outdoor intrusion detection without necessarily requiring photographic verification.

2. Ajax DualCurtain Outdoor – Protect Your Property Perimeter

Sometimes you don’t need to monitor an entire outdoor area. Instead, you need to protect specific access points and boundaries.

This is where the Ajax DualCurtain Outdoor really stands out.


DualCurtain Outdoor is a specialised wireless outdoor curtain motion detector designed to protect specific areas such as windows, doors, fences, building facades and external walkways.

Unlike traditional motion detectors that monitor a wider area, DualCurtain Outdoor creates narrow detection zones on both sides of the device.

It effectively provides two independent detection zones from a single detector.

Key Features and Benefits

    • Two independent detection zones: Monitors both sides of the device.

    • Extended perimeter coverage: Provides up to 15 metres of detection on each side, depending on configuration.

    • Narrow detection angles: Helps focus protection on specific boundaries and access points.

    • Flexible detection settings: Allows installers to adjust detection zones to suit the property.

    • Near Area Detection: Helps address blind spots close to the detector.

    • Pet immunity: Intelligent detection technology helps minimise unwanted alarms.

    • Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to obstruct or interfere with the sensors.

    • Wireless operation: Connects to the Ajax security system without requiring traditional signal cables.

Where Is DualCurtain Outdoor Best Used?

DualCurtain Outdoor is particularly useful for:

    • Protecting windows and sliding doors.

    • Monitoring external building walls.

    • Securing commercial shopfronts.

    • Protecting fence lines and property boundaries.

    • Monitoring side passages and access routes.

    • Creating an invisible detection barrier around vulnerable areas.

One of its biggest advantages is that it can protect specific external access points without constantly detecting people moving around other parts of the property.

For example, you could have people enjoying their backyard while the system monitors vulnerable windows and external access points.

3. Ajax MotionCam Outdoor – Outdoor Motion Detection with Photo Verification

Knowing that movement has been detected is one thing. Knowing what caused the alarm is another.

The Ajax MotionCam Outdoor takes Ajax outdoor security to another level by combining intelligent motion detection with built-in photographic verification.


When the detector identifies movement and triggers an alarm, it captures a series of photographs and sends them to the Ajax app.

This allows property owners and authorised security personnel to visually assess what has happened without needing to immediately attend the property.

Key Features and Benefits

    • Photo verification: Captures photographs when an alarm is triggered.

    • Dual PIR technology: Uses two motion sensors to improve detection accuracy.

    • Intelligent false alarm prevention: Helps distinguish genuine threats from environmental interference.

    • Night-time photography: Built-in infrared illumination allows images to be captured in low-light conditions.

    • Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to obstruct the detector.

    • Pet immunity: Designed to reduce unwanted alarms caused by animals within specified parameters.

    • Wireless communication: Uses Ajax Jeweller and Wings technologies for alarm and photo transmission.

    • Weather resistance: Suitable for outdoor installation.

Why Is Photo Verification Important?

Imagine you’re away on holiday and receive an outdoor security alarm notification.

Instead of wondering whether the alarm was caused by an intruder, an animal or environmental movement, you can open the Ajax app and view the photographs captured by the detector.

This provides valuable visual information and allows you to make a more informed decision about what action to take.

For businesses, photo verification can also help security monitoring operators assess alarm events and determine whether further investigation is required.

MotionCam Outdoor is particularly suitable for:

    • Residential driveways.

    • Front and rear yards.

    • Commercial entrances.

    • External building approaches.

    • Warehouses and industrial premises.

    • Areas where visual alarm verification is important.

It offers an excellent combination of outdoor intrusion detection and added peace of mind.

4. Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount – Advanced Protection at Greater Heights

For properties with higher mounting requirements, the Ajax MotionCam Outdoor HighMount provides another specialised Ajax outdoor security solution.

Designed for installation at heights of approximately 2–4 metres, MotionCam Outdoor HighMount is ideal for locations where conventional outdoor motion detectors may not be the most suitable option.

It combines motion detection with photographic verification, allowing users to receive visual information when an alarm event occurs.

The HighMount model also incorporates PIR and K-band microwave detection technology to help distinguish genuine movement from potential infrared interference.

Key Features and Benefits

    • High-mount installation: Designed for mounting approximately 2–4 metres above ground.

    • Photo verification: Captures images following alarm events.

    • Photo on Demand: Selected versions support requesting photographs through the Ajax app.

    • Photo by scenario and schedule: Supported features allow photographs to be captured in response to configured events and schedules.

    • PIR and microwave technology: Provides additional detection analysis.

    • Intelligent false alarm prevention: Helps improve detection reliability in challenging environments.

    • Anti-masking protection: Detects attempts to obstruct the detector’s field of view.

    • Wireless communication: Uses Ajax Jeweller and Wings radio technologies.

Where Is HighMount Best Used?

MotionCam Outdoor HighMount is particularly useful for:

    • Commercial buildings.

    • Warehouses and industrial facilities.

    • Large driveways.

    • External walls and building facades.

    • Fence lines and perimeter boundaries.

    • Properties requiring elevated detector positioning.

The higher mounting position can also be useful where detectors need to be positioned above everyday activity or in locations where a standard low-mounted detector may be less practical.

Importantly, correct installation and configuration are essential to achieving the best detection performance.

Comparing the Four Ajax Outdoor Detectors

Each Ajax outdoor detector has a specific purpose. Choosing the right device depends on the area being protected and the type of detection required.
