Ajax MotionCam Jeweller
Summary
The Ajax MotionCam Jeweller represents the next generation of motion detection technology, combining traditional PIR motion sensing with advanced photo verification capabilities. As part of Ajax’s Baseline product line, this innovative wireless detector not only detects intrusion but also captures photographic evidence, providing security professionals with visual confirmation of alarm events.
Featuring Ajax’s proprietary Jeweller and Wings communication technologies, the MotionCam Jeweller delivers exceptional reliability with up to 1,700 metres wireless range and encrypted data transmission. The device captures up to 640×480 pixel resolution images with IR backlight for low-light conditions and HDR² technology for optimal image quality across varying lighting conditions.
Engineered for professional security installations, the detector offers comprehensive false alarm prevention through SmartDetect algorithms, pet immunity for animals up to 20kg and 50cm height, and three adjustable sensitivity levels. With its robust 12-metre detection range, 88.5° horizontal coverage, and up to 4 years battery life, the MotionCam Jeweller provides both reliable intrusion detection and visual verification in a single, sophisticated device.

FAQ
What photo resolution options are available?
The MotionCam Jeweller offers three photo resolution settings: 640×480 pixels (highest quality), 320×240 pixels (default), and 160×120 pixels (fastest delivery). Higher resolutions provide better image detail but take longer to transmit.
How quickly are photos delivered after motion detection?
Photo delivery time varies by resolution: up to 7 seconds for 160×120 pixels, up to 9 seconds for 320×240 pixels, and up to 20 seconds for 640×480 pixels resolution.
How many photos can be captured per alarm event?
The device can capture between 1 to 5 photos in a series per alarm event, configurable by a PRO installer or user with admin rights in the Ajax app.
What is the motion detection range and coverage?
The MotionCam Jeweller detects motion up to 12 metres away with an 88.5° horizontal detection angle when installed at the recommended 2.4m height.
How long do the batteries last?
The dual pre-installed CR123A batteries provide up to 4 years of operation under normal usage conditions, with automatic low battery notifications sent to the Ajax app.
Does the device work in low-light conditions?
Yes, the MotionCam Jeweller features IR backlight for effective photography in low-light conditions, plus HDR² technology to equalise lighting and improve image quality across varying light conditions.
What pets will not trigger false alarms?
The device provides pet immunity for domestic animals with a height up to 50cm and weight up to 20kg when properly configured.
What is the wireless communication range?
The device communicates up to 1,700 metres with a hub or range extender in an open space environment using Ajax’s Jeweller and Wings wireless protocols.
