Operating principle

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

DualCurtain Outdoor is a bidirectional outdoor curtain motion detector that uses IR sensors to identify moving objects with temperatures close to that of the human body.

Learn more about Ajax motion detectors

When armed, the detector continuously processes the sensor signals. When motion is detected, DualCurtain Outdoor transmits an alert to a hub and alarms by flashing the logo (if the indication is on). Motion is detected only if both IR sensors on the same side are triggered.

When received an alarm event, a hub activates sirens, executes scenarios, notifies users and a security company. All DualCurtain Outdoor alerts and events are recorded in the notification feed of the Ajax app.

DualCurtain Outdoor features two narrow-angle motion detectors facing opposite directions. The detection range in total can reach up to 30 meters long (15 meters in each direction).

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

The detection distance for each side can be adjusted independently, allowing you to set the detection zone precisely and avoid false alarms caused by bushes, trees, or other objects.

Users are notified of where the motion was detected. Notifications include the device name, the virtual room, and the name of the triggered side. Pressing the Info-M button opens an image of the triggered side.

Pet immunity

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

When set up and installed correctly, DualCurtain Outdoor ignores pets up to 80 centimeters tall. The detector is equipped with four IR sensors (two on each side). DualCurtain Outdoor only activates an alarm when motion is detected by both sensors on a side.

If installed correctly, animals will trigger only one of the detector’s sensors. In such a way, DualCurtain Outdoor filters false alarms. For additional protection against false alarms, the detector applies ELSA, an advanced software algorithm.

Why motion detectors react to animals and how to avoid it

Anti-masking system

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

Masking is an attempt to block the view of the detector by painting over it, covering it, placing an obstacle in front of the detector’s lens, or otherwise.

DualCurtain Outdoor detects the following types of masking:

  • Obstacle in front of the detector’s lens at a distance of up to 10 centimeters (depends on the material).

  • Painting over the lenses or the detector’s side.

  • Taping the lenses or the detector’s side.

The system informs users and a security company monitoring station about masking. For extra protection and awareness, turn on the sirens’ response to masking. The maximum masking detection time is 180 seconds (depends on the type of obstacle and the distance to it).

Protection against false triggerings

To filter false alarms, DualCurtain Outdoor applies ELSA (Extended Live Signal Analysis) — a three-stage software algorithm that analyzes the signals received from two narrow-angle IR sensors of the same optical system.

1. Form analysis

The shapes of both IR sensor signals should indicate the crossing of the secured zone. In any direction: either perpendicular or along the direction of the detector optics. At the same stage, a correction for the signal intensity is made to take into account the distance from the sensors and the size of the object.

2. Patterns comparison of

The signal amplitudes are verified with the pattern database. To create it, we analyzed thouthands of test triggers of curtain detectors on people, animals, lights, and other natural sources in various weather conditions. Signal patterns should be the same or insignificantly different from those typical to humans.

3. Time verification

When signals from both IR sensors match the conditions: this is motion and it is typical for a human, the ELSA algorithm compares the time frames of the signals — whether the upper and lower sensors detected the motion synchronously.

The system raises an alarm if all three conditions are met. The ELSA algorithm takes less than 1 second to render a “threat” or a “false alarm” verdict.

Near area detection

Typically, outdoor curtain detectors have a blind spot near the enclosure. Its size depends on the height of the installation, the type of the detector, and the motion detection distance. The blind spot creates a potential vulnerability in the security system.

DualCurtain Outdoor uses a technology extending the detection area that is unique among outdoor curtain detectors to. When the Near area detection is activated, the upper IR sensor of the detector receives an additional narrow sector of view, directed at the angle of 40 degrees downward.

When enabled, Near area detection significantly reduces the blind spot near the sensors and enables covering doors, windows, and other pathways into the room that are in close proximity to the detector.

The Near area detection mode is activated for each side on the back of the detector enclosure, and it allows the sensors to detect motion when a person crosses the protected perimeter near the device, eliminating the blind spot.

Viewing angle shift

With the Beam Direction slider, the DualCurtain Outdoor viewing angle can be shifted by 3 degrees in the horizontal perspective. Shifting applies separately for each side of the detector.

This feature helps to avoid blind spots and hinderings if there are obstacles in the detection zone. For example, gutters, columns, or lamps.

Event transmission to a monitoring station

The Ajax system can transmit alarms to central monitoring stations (CMS) in SurGard (Contact ID), SIA (DC-09), ADEMCO 685, and other proprietary protocol formats. The complete list of supported protocols is available here.

Which CMSs can the Ajax system be connected to

The device ID and the loop (zone) number can be found on the states screen. Keep in mind that an alarm of each side is delivered to a CMS software with one code. You can distinguish between right and left side detector alarms in the Ajax PRO Desktop app.

The tests are available in the device settings menu (Ajax App → Devices HubFilled-M → DualCurtain Outdoor → Settings Settings-M):

Choosing a location

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

DualCurtain Outdoor is suitable for the protection of the area around the secured site. It allows to guard the perimeter, leaving space for free movement inside. The detector can be installed both outdoors and indoors.

DualCurtain Outdoor can protect:

  • Entrance doors

  • Windows

  • Gates

  • Fences

  • Arches and other places where you need to protect the perimeter or the passage

The detector is placed at the height of 0.8 — 1.3 meters from the ground level, if it is used to protect doors, fences or arches. If the area is not flat, the height of the installation is calculated from the highest point of the monitored area. Such installation height is a prerequisite for the effective functioning of the pet immunity function. Installation at the wrong height can result in false alarms in response to animals.

If the device is used to protect windows or window displays, the detector is placed at the height of 0.5 to 0.6 meters from the window sill.

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

If one side of the detector is used to protect a door, and the other to protect a window, the detector is installed at the height of 0.5 to 0.6 meters from the window sill. If the detector is placed close to a window, the Near area detection option should be enabled (the Near area detection switch on the back of the detector). The option reduces the blind spot near the detector.

When choosing a location, you also need to consider two main factors: signal strength and detection zone.

Signal strength

Install DualCurtain Outdoor in a place with stable Jeweller signal strength (2-3 bars in the Ajax app). When selecting the place for installation, consider the distance between the detector and the hub or radio signal range extender and the presence of obstacles between the devices that block the radio signal: walls, floors, large objects located in the room.

If poor or unstable signal strength is still reported after the relocation of the detector, use the radio signal range extender.

Detection zone

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

DualCurtain Outdoor includes two opposing curtain motion detectors. The detection distance is adjusted separately for each side with the Detection Distance scrollbars on the back of the detector.

When selecting the installation location, consider the maximum specified detection distance of the detector. It depends on the position of the Detection distance scrollbar, the type and speed of human movement (running, walking), and the ambient temperature.

Detection distance scrollbar position

Motion detection distance

Upper (corresponds to the “near” inscription on the detector body)

Up to 4 meters

Second division

Up to 5 meters

Third division

Up to 7 meters

Fourth division

Up to 12 meters

Fifth division (corresponds to the far inscription on the detector body)

Up to 15 meters

When choosing where to place the detector, be sure to use the Detection zone test to determine the sector, in which the detector recognizes motion, as accurately as possible.

If there are obstacles in the view path of the detector, such as gutters, columns or lamps, set the viewing angle to 3 degrees (the scrollbar labeled beam direction on the back of the detector).

ajax dualcurtain outdoor
ajax dualcurtain outdoor

If appropriate, turn on Near area detection (Near area detection scrollbar) for the desired side. The mode allows the detector sensors to detect motion when an attempt is made to break in at the very body of the device, reducing the blind spot.

When installing, also consider the width of the detection zone. Incorrect choice of the detector installation site can lead to false alarms or incorrect operation of the detector.

Avoid the situations where the detector identifies movement at a greater distance than required. To do this, adjust and set the desired detection distance. The best place to install the detector may be within an enclosed place. For example, when the detection zone of the detector is limited by a fence. This will reduce the likelihood of false alarms in response to external factors.

Make sure that no obstacles block the view of the detector. Note that DualCurtain Outdoor does not detect movement behind the glass. Therefore, do not install the detector where an open window or a door may obstruct the view of the device.

Do not install the detector

  • Near metal objects and mirrors (they can shield the radio signal and lead to its attenuation).

  • Opposite the trees with leaves in the detection zone of both IR sensors of the detector.

  • In places where the detection zone of the detector might include bushes 80 centimeters high or above.

  • In places with low or unstable signal strength.

  • Closer than within 1 meter of a hub or a radio signal range extender.

Mounting the detector

ajax dualcurtain outdoor

Before mounting, set the desired detection distance of the detector (Detection distance scrollbar), the viewing angle deviation (Beam direction scrollbar), and activate the Near area detection mode (Near area detection scrollbar), if necessary.

  1. Temporarily attach the SmartBracket panel with the bundled ties (or other temporary fasteners, such as double-sided tape).

    The installation height is 0.8 to 1.3 meters above the ground, if you need to protect a door, an arch, another passage or walk-up to the window. Or 0.5 to 0.6 meters above the window sill, if you use the detector for window protection.

    Respecting the installation height is necessary for the correct operation of pet immunity as well as near area detection.

    To install the SmartBracket mount on ties, you must first make holes in it.

  2. Install the detector on the SmartBracket panel.

  3. Leave the detector detection area (horizontal detection angle — 4.5°) and make sure there is no motion within the detector coverage area. This is necessary for correct calibration of the masking sensors. During the calibration, the detector will blink green around one time per second. Calibration takes up to 2 minutes.

  4. If the signal strength is unstable or if a single bar is displayed, move the detector or use a radio signal range extender.

  5. Make detection zone tests. First, of the lower sensors, and then of the upper ones. This will help determine and set the required maximum detection distance of the detector (determined by a lower sensor).Then, perform the detection zone test for both sensors simultaneously, as well as the masking sensors test. If there is no response to motion, select the appropriate sensitivity level, the detection distance (Detection distance scrollbar), the viewing angle deviation (Beam direction scrollbar), activate the near area detection mode (Near area detection scrollbar), and check the inclination angle of the detector.

  6. Attach the SmartBracket mounting plate to the surface using the bundled screws. When attaching, use at least two fixing points. To make the tamper react to an attempt to detach the device, be sure to lock the SmartBracket corner with perforation.

  7. Put DualCurtain Outdoor on the mounting plate, wait for the calibration to complete, and screw in the screw on the bottom of the body. It is needed for a more secure mounting and so that the detector can’t be quickly removed from the mount.

  8. Once the detector is attached firmly to SmartBracket, the LED will blink — this is a signal indicating that the tamper has been activated. If the LED doesn’t blink after installation on SmartBracket, check the tamper status in the Ajax app, and then make sure the plate is firmly attached.

Maintenance

Check the functioning of the detector regularly. The optimal frequency of testing is once every three months. Clean the detector body from dust, cobwebs, and other contaminants as they emerge. Use a soft dry cloth that is suitable for equipment care.

Do not use substances that contain alcohol, acetone, gasoline or other active solvents to clean the detector. Carefully wipe the lens — scratches on the plastic can reduce the detector sensitivity.

The pre-installed batteries provide up to 4 years of battery life based on 1 alarm per day with standard Jeweller settings (ping period — 36 seconds). When the detector batteries are discharged, the security system will send an appropriate notification, and the LED will light up and go out gradually when the detector detects a movement or the tamper is activated.

DualCurtain Outdoor can work up to 2 months after the low battery signal. However, we recommend you replace the batteries immediately upon notification. It is advisable to use lithium batteries. They have a large capacity and are less affected by temperatures.
