MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller
Wireless outdoor motion detector with an advanced anti-masking system and pet-immunity
The first line of defence for home and business
Two-step algorithm for false alarm prevention
A street is always in action: the wind sways leaves and bushes warmed by the sun, animals and birds move around, various insects land on the body of the detector. This diversity of flora and fauna creates a constant barrage of noise that makes it hard for outdoor motion detectors to spot the real threat, humans. We’ve solved this problem both on software and hardware levels by implementing two PIR sensors and developing a unique two-step algorithm for signal analysis, LISA.
Correlation analysis
Whenever MotionProtect Outdoor detects motion, LISA analyses and compares signal forms from two sensors in real-time. If forms are similar, the alarm is raised.
Spectral analysis
When both sensors detect motion, but the correlational analysis doesn’t identify enough similarities, LISA compares frequency components in the signals of both sensors.
Intelligent anti-masking system
An outdoor detector is an easy target. During the day when the system is disarmed, intruders may damage the sensors or block their view to gain an advantage in trespassing at night. To prevent the cases of sabotage, we’ve equipped MotionProtect Outdoor with a tamper button and an advanced anti-masking system that can remain active 24/7.
The anti-masking system in MotionProtect Outdoor calibrates automatically by analyzing the surrounding area when mounting the device onto SmartBracket. Then, if an obstacle appears in the field of view of anti-masking sensors or if they are painted, the detector quickly notices sabotage and raises the alarm. Moreover, a sensitive tamper is immediately activated if someone attempts to dismount the detector from SmartBracket.

Outdoor motion detector — MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller
A complete security system should be equipped with devices that signal danger. Intrusion into a protected area is one of the most common types, and motion sensors can prevent break-ins and their consequences.
How to choose a motion detector
The first step in installing a motion sensor is determining the device type and purpose. Motion detectors protect a room or territory and control lighting and smart homes.
Types of motion detectors
Common types of motion sensors are microwave, infrared, ultrasonic, and combined. More about each of them:
Microwave presence sensors
The principle of operation of such a detector is the device's radiation of high-frequency electromagnetic waves, which triggers when the signal frequency changes.
Microwave motion sensors detect objects in motion even behind obstacles — glass, doors, and plasterboard walls. Most microwave motion detectors are small and have several independent detection zones. The device's performance does not depend on temperature and weather conditions, and high accuracy helps to capture even slow movement.
Infrared motion detectors
IR presence detectors are triggered when infrared radiation is detected at a temperature close to the human body's temperature. This type of sensor features the ability to set the scanning angle and detection range independently.
And if the manufacturer of the infrared sensor does not provide immunity to animals, there is a risk of false alarms.
Ultrasonic motion detectors
Ultrasonic presence sensors emit sound waves with a 20,000 to 60,000 Hz frequency. A sound that bounces off an object in motion changes the signal's frequency. The motion sensor captures these changes and is activated.
Ultrasonic sensors detect an object in motion, regardless of its temperature and material; the device's operation is not affected by air, dust, or humidity. The disadvantages of this sensor are its short range and the fact that it only fixes objects that move quickly. The motion sensor will likely not work if the movement is smooth.
Combined motion sensors
Several scanning technologies are available in one device. Combined motion sensors are used in burglar alarms.
Types of motion sensors by location
External motion sensor
An outdoor motion sensor allows users to adjust the direction in which the space will be controlled or has a coverage area of 360 degrees. The device is easy to install and can be either wired or wireless. Choosing a motion detector with protection against dismantling and immunity to animals and extraneous movements is essential. It is worth paying attention to protecting the case from weather conditions — rain and snow.
Installing an external motion sensor on the property's facade or fence is advisable.
Internal motion sensor
Room motion sensors are installed on walls, furniture, and ceiling. When installing wired sensors, users need to lay them in the interior at the design stage for laying wires. The wireless motion sensor is mounted in a ready-made interior. As with outdoor motion sensors, paying attention to immunity to animals and extraneous movements is essential to prevent false alarms.
Types of motion detectors by the connection method
Wireless motion sensors
Batteries or accumulators power autonomous presence sensors, transmitting the signal via radio. The user does not need to lay electrical wiring and wires; the user can mount it in a ready-made interior.
Wireless outdoor motion detectors often have solar panels that charge the battery daily.
Wired presence sensors
Wired motion detectors require power wiring. The main disadvantage of such a device is the termination of work in a protected area during a power outage.
Characteristics of movement detectors that users should pay attention to
- Detector viewing angle. When choosing a device, users must consider how large the controlled area will be, the viewing angle, the sensor range (5-50 meters), and the inclination angle to avoid "blind" zones.
- Protection against dust and moisture. To avoid false alarms and interruption of the motion sensor, users need to choose a model that protects against dust and splashes.
- Animal protection. If an animal enters the sensor's field of view, the sensor ignores it. The presence of immunity to animals prevents false alarms of the motion sensor.
Wireless outdoor motion detector MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller
MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller is an outdoor wireless presence detector that warns of intrusion into a protected area. The complete set will include:
- MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion sensor.
- Two pre-installed batteries.
- Mounting panel SmartBracket.
- Mounting kit.
- Detailed instructions.
The principle of operation of the motion detector MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller
The Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion sensor detects movement in a protected area by reading infrared radiation from an object. All living beings, including humans, are sources of infrared radiation. The sensor receives information using two independent infrared sensors, which transmit data to the central alarm panel via the Jeweller secure radio protocol.
The two-factor LISA algorithm checks the signals read by the sensors. The algorithm analyzes and compares the received data from two sensors. If the signals are similar, the user receives a notification about the incident. This principle of operation helps avoid false alarms of the wireless motion sensor.
The range of the external presence detector is adjusted independently by the user in the range from 3 to 15 meters.
MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion sensor features
The Jeweller radio protocol ensures the interaction of all security system devices without interruptions. The protocol supports two-way communication of the MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller wireless outdoor motion sensor with an intelligent control panel at a distance of up to 1700 meters. The hub receives alarms in less than 0.15 seconds. Jeweller uses communication encryption to protect data and authentication to prevent device forgery. The radio protocol is energy efficient — Ajax MotionProtect, Outdoor Jeweller detectors, work for up to 5 years without replacing the pre-installed batteries.
Animals, birds, or trees can cause a false alarm with their movement. However, the MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion sensor eliminates this triggering by using a system for scanning information with two IR sensors and a two-stage LISA analysis algorithm.
The MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion sensor has a tamper and an anti-masking system to prevent intruders from damaging the sensor or imperceptibly blocking the view. The tamper will activate an alarm when an attempt is made to remove the wireless motion detector from the SmartBracket mount. The anti-masking system detects sabotage and raises the alarm if the sensor is painted over or the view is obstructed.
MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller is adapted to any weather, thanks to protection from dust and moisture. The outdoor wireless sensor works for up to 5 years on pre-installed batteries. The operating temperature range of the external sensor is from -25°C to +60°C, and the permissible humidity for correct operation is up to 95%.
To connect the MotionProtect Outdoor Jeweller motion detector to the hub, users need to scan the QR code in the Ajax app and assign a name to the wireless motion detector. All tests and settings are made in the mobile application.
A wireless motion sensor installation occurs without disassembling the case on the SmartBracket mounting panel.
When installing a wireless outdoor motion sensor, users must consider possible interference, ways to avoid the sensor's reaction to them, landscape features, and the likely paths of intruder penetration.
