Curtain Outdoor Jeweller

The first line of defense

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller is a motion detector for covering the perimeter of a site with exceptional accuracy and a near-zero chance of false alarms Featuring a unique optical system, the device looks over narrow sectors of up to 12 m long. Dual motion detection technology engaging two PIR sensors and one Ka-band microwave sensor allows filtering out false alarms caused by thermal noise, animals, or plants. The detection range and pet immunity mode are configured via a slider on the detector’s enclosure, and sensitivity is configured in Ajax apps to meet the specific needs of the site Pre-installed batteries ensure stable performance for up to three years

Two operating modes

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller operates in two modes: regular and with pet immunity on In the regular mode, any motion within the covered area triggers an alarm The pet immunity mode is designed to ignore the movement of animals up to 100 cm tall and minimize false alarms.

Two PIR sensors

Curtain Outdoor Jeweller has two PIR sensors to ensure accurate motion detection. The detector does not respond to a movement if only one sensor is triggered When both sensors detect motion, proprietary digital algorithms come into play In a fraction of a second, they perform a three-step signal analysis, filter out natural obstacles or animals, and decide whether an alarm should be raised

SmartDetect

When the system is in armed mode, the detector constantly analyzes the thermal diagram from the PIR sensors, including the IR radiation intensity, thermal spot size, movement speed, time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters The SmartDetect software algorithm identifies false alarm markers instantly and with high accuracy. As a result, the device accurately responds to human movement without false alarms.

Temperature compensation

Temperature compensation is a software mechanism that ensures thermal diagram contrast even if the ambient temperature is close to the temperature of a human body With each ambient temperature measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensors data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory. The device is effective throughout the entire operating temperature range.

K-band microwave sensor

The K-band microwave sensor verifies alarms triggered by PIR sensors. It performs a radiowave scan of an area to minimize false alarms triggered by thermal interferences. Unlike traditional X-band sensors, the Ka-band sensor offers superior precision and energy efficiency, with significantly fewer false alarms and hardly noticeable impact on the battery life Additionally, the sensor is completely safe and poses no threat to health
