PIR sensor
All Ajax motion detectors use PIR sensors by Excelitas Technologies — a field-leading American manufacturer specializing in designing and producing optronic components since 1931. Ajax Systems constantly proves the sensor's superior quality at the production stage: we test 100% of manufactured devices. Wrapped into Ajax technologies, it brings the utmost accuracy of intrusion detection.
Special lens
The pattern of the Fresnel lens sections is designed to differentiate between the IR diagrams of a human, animal, and thermal noise. Large lens sections capture radiation at an adult's head and torso level. Smaller sections make the diagram more detailed. The lens provides the detector with accurate information about the thermal object in the detection zone and the nature of its movement.
Thermal interferences filter
We processed thousands of thermal patterns caused by humans, animals, and the environment to develop the SmartDetect software algorithm. In armed mode, the detector constantly analyses the thermal diagram from the PIR sensor, including the IR radiation intensity, thermal spot size, movement speed, time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters. The algorithm identifies false alarm markers instantly and with high accuracy. As a result — the detector accurately responds to human motion without false alarms.

Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is a software mechanism keeping the thermal diagram contrast even if the ambient temperature is close to the temperature of the human body. With each ambient temperature measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensor data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory. The detector is effective over the entire operating temperature range.
Sensitivity level
The detector can adapt to the conditions of a particular facility, considering possible thermal interference or pets. The sensitivity setting changes the set of markers by which false alarms are filtered. Low sensitivity makes the detector less likely to respond to an active pet. A high sensitivity will raise the alarm in case of any motion in the detection zone.
Professional installation
With the correct installation at the height of 7.87 ft and lens direction perpendicular to an alleged intrusion path, the detector provides an accurate thermal diagram and pet immunity. It instantly responds to a real threat, minimising false alarms caused by animals weighing up to 44 lb and below 1.64 ft in height.

Motion sensors for burglar alarms
Motion sensors as part of a burglar alarm system help protect the perimeter from intrusion and damage to property in residential buildings, offices, public places, etc.The principle of operation of the security motion sensor
The work of the motion sensor of the security system is to fix the infrared sensor of thermal radiation that comes from a person. When the detector detects an object in motion, the Fresnel lens transmits a signal to the photocell, and the circuit is completed. The motion sensor sends an alarm signal to the alarm central to confirm the incident, which informs the users of the system and activates the detectors. Presence sensors are installed outdoors and indoors, depending on the type of device. Some motion detectors are equipped with cameras to acknowledge alarms. With the help of sensors with a photo or video verification, false alarms can be avoided.How to choose a motion sensor for an alarm
Motion sensors differ in functionality and other criteria. For the device's correct operation, it is essential to precisely choose the most suitable type for the room and working conditions. There are several selection criteria that are needed to pay attention to first of all:- Select the installation location of the motion detector.
- Then you need to choose a method for connecting the security device to the network.
- Immune to animals and false alarms is an essential selection criterion since an alarm filter in the motion sensor will prevent unnecessary patrol calls and protect you from unnecessary worries.
