Ajax MotionCam: Intelligent Motion Detection

The Ajax MotionCam series is a line of advanced motion detection cameras designed to provide peace of mind. At DDS, we offer both the indoor and outdoor models, as well as the enhanced PhOD versions.

Indoor MotionCams: Regular vs. PhOD

Let's start with the two indoor models, the regular MotionCam and its PhOD counterpart. Visually, these cameras are identical and share many features. Both models activate upon detecting motion, capturing a photo of the scenario, and sending it directly to the app for review. This functionality is particularly helpful for quickly discerning between real threats and false alarms. Each camera offers a detection range of 12 meters and belongs to Ajax's Jeweller series, known for its easy-to-install wireless technology.

What Sets the PhOD Version Apart?

The PHOD (Photo On Demand) version comes with two notable enhancements:

1. Photo on Demand: This feature allows you to capture a photo in real-time at any moment, making it easy to check up on your home or pets while you're away.
2. Photo by Scenario: This feature triggers a photo when a separate device is activated. For instance, if your FireProtect 2 alarm goes off, the MotionCam will automatically take a picture, helping determine if it’s a false alarm or not.

Outdoor MotionCams: Built for the Elements

The outdoor models operate in the same manner as their indoor counterparts but are built to withstand external elements. These cameras come bundled with protective hoods to guard against rain and snow and have a slightly extended detection range of 15 meters. These outdoor cameras are effectively used in various scenarios, from monitoring livestock to securing construction sites.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right MotionCam

In summary, the PhOD version of the MotionCam series offers extra peace of mind with its advanced features. While false alarms are not uncommon, having the ability to demand photos and receive scenario-based images can be invaluable in certain situations. However, these additional features come at a higher cost, so it’s just whether they are a necessity for your particular installation. You can check out the full range through the links below.
