1st winner of category D: Ajax Systems with the MotionCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller
MotionCam Outdoor HighMount (PhOD) Jeweller is a wireless motion detector that was primarily developed for remote locations, warehouses and industrial complexes, but is also suitable for offices and private homes.
The device can be installed at a height of two to four meters and offers a large detection area without blind spots. Thanks to the built-in camera, the situation in the monitored area can be quickly assessed. This is made possible by four types of photo verification: by alarm, by scenario, by schedule or on request. An intelligent false alarm filter detects and ignores non-threatening factors such as swaying branches or heat flows. The rotatable metal bracket allows flexible adjustment of the viewing angle.
