Ajax Motion Cam (PhOD) (8IN) – Hybrid Motion Detector with Photo on Demand and Wired Sensor Integration
The Ajax Motion Cam (PhOD) (8IN) is a wireless indoor motion detector with an integrated photo camera, designed to deliver Photo on Demand (PhOD) capabilities alongside instant alarm-triggered image verification. It allows users and security professionals to request images manually through the app—providing situational awareness in real time, not just during alarms.
In addition to motion detection and photo verification, this model includes 8 input lines, enabling the connection of third-party wired sensors. This makes it an ideal solution for hybrid alarm systems that require integration of both wireless and existing wired infrastructure.
The device is compatible with Ajax Hub 2, Hub 2 (4G), Hub 2 Plus, and ReX 2, supporting Ajax’s secure Jeweller (motion transmission) and Wings (photo transmission) radio protocols.
