MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller is a wireless IR motion detector for

indoor and outdoor use supporting Photo by alarm, Photo on demand, Photo

by scenario, Photo by schedule, and Photo by arming/disarming features.

It has an adjustable range of motion detection up to 15 meters. The device

detects attempts to block the view thanks to the anti-masking system. The

detector does not react to animals up to 80 cm tall when installed and

conﬁgured correctly.

A hub is required for the detector to operate.

Summary of Contents for AJAX MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller

Page 1 MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller user manual Updated April 1, 2025 MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller is a wireless IR motion detector for indoor and outdoor use supporting Photo by alarm, Photo on demand, Photo by scenario, Photo by schedule, and Photo by arming/disarming features.
Page 2 MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller works as part of the Ajax system, communicating with the hub over two secure radio protocols; the detector uses Jeweller to transmit alarms and events and Wings to transmit photos. The hub communication range is up to 1,700 meters in an open space.

All MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller alarms and events are recorded in the notiﬁcation feed of the Ajax app. Users know exactly where motion is detected. The notiﬁcations contain the hub’s name (name of the secured facility), name of the device, and...
Page 5 MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller can transmit visual conﬁrmations of alarms and show the reason of the alarms from other Ajax devices. Photo veriﬁcation allows you to take an on-demand photo at any time to check the situation at the facility, ﬁnd out the cause of the alarm, or see what the children are doing.
Page 6 In the second case, the delay occurs because the hub takes one ping interval to notify the detector about the security mode changing. Click on the MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller alarm notiﬁcation in the event feed to view the photos. Photos are available to all users with access to the event feed.
Page 7 Features of alarm photo veriﬁcation Photo on demand The Photo on demand feature allows users to take pictures with the built-in cameras of detectors with photo veriﬁcation. With this feature, you can check the situation at the facility: ﬁnd out what the children are doing, check if your pet is OK, or simply monitor the situation at home.
Page 8 settings, photos can be taken at any time or when MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller is armed. By default, the Photo on demand feature is disabled for all users. Users with the right to manage privacy settings (hub settings, Privacy section) determine who can take and view photos on demand and which detectors with photo veriﬁcation can take pictures.
Page 9 The Photo by scenario feature allows creating a scenario for motion detectors with photo veriﬁcation, according to which they will take pictures in case of alarm from other Ajax devices. By default, the Allow photo by scenario option is disabled for all detectors. A hub admin or a user with access to privacy settings can enable it.

These detectors will take pictures by schedule. Enable the Allow photo by scenarios option before creating a scheduled...
Page 11 The Photo by arming/disarming feature allows users to receive photos from a built-in camera when the security state changes. With this feature, you can check the situation at the facility when the system is armed, disarmed, or switched to Night mode. Before creating an arming/disarming scenario, enable the Allow photos by scenarios...
Page 12 Both protocols support encryption and authentication to prevent forgery. Connection with devices is monitored via a hub–detector polls system. Their statuses are displayed in real-time in the Ajax apps. The polling frequency is set by a user or a PRO with system conﬁguration rights.
Page 13 Protection against false alarms MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller uses the SmartDetect algorithm like other Ajax indoor detectors. With the SmartDetect algorithm, the detector instantly analyses the thermal diagram read by the sensor: The intensity of infrared radiation. Size of the heat spot.
Page 14 Upon motion detection by one of the IR sensors, the detector takes photos. If the detector veriﬁes the alarm, photos and the alarm are sent to the central monitoring station and Ajax apps; otherwise, the photos are deleted. In case of the detector’s incorrect installation and a high frequency of ﬁltered-out...
Page 15 If the detector is installed correctly at the height of 0.8–1.3 meters from the ground level, animals can enter the detection zone of only one of the detector’s sensors. This is why MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller rejects such triggers as false and does not raise the alarm.
Page 16 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. MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller detects the following types of masking: Obstacle in front of the detector lens at a distance of up to 10 cm (the maximum distance depends on the type of material).
Page 17 More about the masking-detection system Sending events to the CMS The Ajax system can transmit alarms and events to the PRO Desktop monitoring app as well as the central monitoring station (CMS) via SurGard (Contact ID), SIA DC-09 (SIA-DCS), ADEMCO 685 and other proprietary protocols.
Page 18 The addressability of Ajax devices allows sending events, the type of the device, the name and group assigned to it, and the room to the PRO Desktop and the CMS.
Page 19 The hub and the device must operate at the same radio frequency; otherwise, they are incompatible. The radio-frequency range of the device might vary based on the region. We recommend purchasing and using Ajax devices in the same region. You can verify the range of operating radio frequencies with the...

Page 49 If the detector is installed on a shaky (unstable) surface, this will result in false alarms. MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller with ﬁrmware version 7.58.5.14 and later has Notify on risk of fast battery discharge setting.
Page 50 If the detector cannot be installed in a corner, it can be mounted on a ﬂat vertical surface: a wall or a fence. In this case, install another detector that will overlap the blind spots of the ﬁrst MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller. When choosing the location of the detector, consider the parameters that affect its operation: Motion detector detection area.
Page 51 Three bars — excellent signal strength. Two bars — good signal strength. One bar — low signal strength, stable operation is not guaranteed. Crossed out icon — no signal. Check the Jeweller and Wings signal strength at the installation site. The detector should have a signal strength of 2 or 3 bars on both communication channels.
Page 52 The detection distance is adjusted using the Detection Distance scrollbar on the rear panel of the detector. When choosing the installation location, consider the maximum detection range of the detector. It depends on the sensitivity, the position of the Detection Distance scrollbar, the type and speed of the person’s movement (running, walking), and the ambient temperature.
Page 53 Fourth bar Up to 12 meters Fifth bar (corresponds to the far inscription Up to 15 meters on the detector body) When installed at the height of 0.8–1.3 meters, the detection range was tested at a medium level of sensitivity with the ambient temperature of +23°C and clear weather.
Page 54 6 meters 12 meters 7 meters 14 meters 9 meters 18 meters 12 meters 24 meters 13 meters 26 meters 15 meters 30 meters Avoid situations when the detector identiﬁes movement at a greater distance than required. To do this, adjust and set the desired detection distance. This will reduce the likelihood of false alarms in response to external factors.
Page 55 Set the desired detection range (Detection distance slider). To install MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller: 1. Attach the SmartBracket panel with the bundled ties or other temporary fasteners. Installation height is 0.8–1.3 meters from ground level.
Page 56 When using other fasteners, ensure they do not damage or deform the mounting panel. You can mount the MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller detector on a vertical surface or in the corner with the mounting panel. SmartBracket has special holes that need to be drilled to ﬁx the panel with the bundled screws.
Page 57 MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) Jeweller can work up to 2 months after the low battery signal. 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.
Page 58 Warranty for the Limited Liability Company “Ajax Systems Manufacturing” products is valid for 2 years after the purchase. If the device does not function correctly, please contact the Ajax Technical Support ﬁrst. In most cases, technical issues can be resolved remotely.
