Protecting a property starts beyond the building itself. Entrances, yards, driveways, and other outdoor areas need monitoring to help identify an intrusion before someone reaches the premises. When motion triggers an alarm, visual information helps users understand what happened and decide how to respond.
U-PROX PIR Cam Outdoor combines outdoor motion detection, a built-in camera, photos on demand, and active anti-masking in one wireless device. Designed for private homes, offices, warehouses, and industrial facilities, it provides an outer layer of protection with visual confirmation of events.
Outdoor coverage tailored to your property
Every site has a different layout. A residential yard may border a busy pavement, while a warehouse entrance may face a driveway or neighbouring property. Adjusting detection coverage helps focus monitoring on the areas that need protection.
PIR Cam Outdoor features two independent infrared sensors, a 90° field of view, and an adjustable motion detection range of 3 to 15 metres. This allows coverage to be tailored to the installation area, helping limit detection of movement outside the property’s boundaries.
The detector can monitor approaches to entrances, open areas around buildings, and selected sections of the perimeter. Detecting movement in these areas gives users an opportunity to assess an event before an intruder enters the building.
Two levels of false alarm prevention
Outdoor environments present challenges for motion detection. Animals, birds, and other sources of interference can create signals that require careful analysis.
PIR Cam Outdoor uses a two-level false alarm prevention algorithm to analyse data from its infrared sensors. This helps distinguish human movement from interference and reduces unwanted activations.
Photo verification adds another layer of information. If an alarm occurs, users can review the images to understand what triggered it and determine whether a response is needed.
Photo verification when an alarm occurs
An alarm notification indicates that motion has been detected. Photos provide context.
When an alarm occurs, PIR Cam Outdoor captures a series of up to 5 photos at a resolution of up to 640×480 pixels. The consecutive frames appear in an image carousel, helping users follow the event as it unfolds.
This visual information supports assessment by both property owners and security monitoring teams. Reviewing a sequence of images can help clarify the cause of an alarm and guide the next steps.
Photos on demand and visibility in darkness
PIR Cam Outdoor also supports photos on demand, allowing users to check the monitored area when they need additional information.
For operation in low light and darkness, the detector features infrared illumination. This enables image capture when natural light is insufficient, so photo verification remains available at night.
Together, alarm photos and photos on demand help users stay informed about activity around the property.
Active anti-masking and removal detection
Outdoor detectors may be accessible to someone attempting to interfere with the security system. Detecting that interference is part of maintaining protection.
PIR Cam Outdoor features two active infrared anti-masking zones, covering the upper and lower sensors independently. The system detects attempts to cover or mask the lenses and sends a notification, even when the security system is disarmed.
A built-in removal tamper also detects attempts to detach the device. These features help users identify sabotage attempts that could affect the detector’s operation.
Wireless communication across the site
PIR Cam Outdoor supports secure two-way radio communication with the hub at distances of up to 4,800 metres in open space. This provides flexibility when positioning the detector around a property, including areas farther from the main building.
Radio channel encryption protects transmitted data, while automatic signal power adjustment helps conserve energy. The wireless connection also simplifies installation by reducing the need to run communication cables to each detection point.
External power with battery backup
The detector supports an external 12 V DC power supply, providing an additional power option for outdoor installations.
If external power is lost, PIR Cam Outdoor switches to its internal batteries to maintain protection. This allows the device to continue monitoring the area during an interruption to its main power source.
An outer layer of protection with visual confirmation
U-PROX PIR Cam Outdoor brings together adjustable outdoor motion detection, alarm photo verification, photos on demand, and protection against masking and removal.
For private homes and commercial properties, this combination helps monitor activity beyond the building, understand the cause of an alarm, and make informed decisions about how to respond.
Introducing the vandal-proof U-PROX SE Steel and U-PROX SL Steel readers - a reliable solution that meets the stringent environmental requirements of public places.
We have improved the operation of U-PPROX Smoke fire detectors in the U-PROX Home app – now users can quickly turn off the alarm sound and temporarily suspend the detector's response for 10 minutes.
Realizing the importance of quick and efficient analysis of security events at your facility, we are pleased to announce the expansion of video verification capabilities in U-PROX access control systems.
Modern access control systems “understand” different types of identifiers: classic 125 kHz proximity cards or key fobs, MIFARE Classic cards or bracelets, MIFARE Plus and MIFARE DesFire EV1/EV2/EV3 secure cards, active car tags, and bank cards.
These compact and stylish devices allow you to quickly and intuitively control your security system: arm or disarm it, activate partial protection, or instantly raise the alarm.
Meet the new product that is already available for order - the U-PROX PIR CAM wireless motion detector.
If the detector is triggered, it will send one or a series of photos to assess the situation to the U-PROX Home mobile app and the central monitoring station of the security company. The photo will be sent only during an obvious alarm.
On January 22, a landmark event for the Ukrainian security market, “Security Synergy,” organized by our partners Viatec took place in Kyiv, at which U-PROX brand manager Mykola Shevchenko gave a presentation entitled “Solutions in Action: Practical Implementation of Projects.”
Do you want your security system to respond instantly and operate longer without replacing batteries?
WOR (Wake-On-Radio) in wireless security systems is a technology that allows radio devices to remain in deep sleep mode and “wake up” only when a specific radio signal is received.
The multi-standard U-PROX Desktop reader with USB interface now supports Mifare DesFire secure identifier technology - a family of 13.56 MHz contactless chips compatible with the ISO/IEC 14443 A standard.
