Description and Principle of Operation

U‑Prox PIR Cam is a combined digital passive infrared radio channel sensor equipped with a PIR sensor and a camera. It is designed to protect enclosed residential and industrial premises by detecting changes in the thermal balance of the environment and, upon an intrusion, sending a photo to the U‑Prox alarm center.

The sensor is fitted with a special lens and is intended for use in rooms where pets (such as cats and dogs) may be present. The device is insensitive to the movement of animals weighing up to 20 kg.

It is installed indoors.

The sensor works exclusively with the U‑Prox security system; connection to third‑party systems is not supported.

Functional Elements of the Device

Sensor case Light indicator of operating modes PIR element lens Camera lens LED camera flash Mounting bracket for the sensor Tamper contact Rear cover of the case On/off switch

Power Supply

The device uses a CR123A lithium battery, which enables it to operate for up to 5 years on a single battery.

Display in the Current Mode

The light indicator displays data transmission and sensor triggering. Data exchange with the security center is indicated by the sequential lighting of the LEDs as follows:

1. 1. Sensor triggering – red
   2. Data transmission:
      • Green – transmission successful
      • Red – data transmission failed
   3. Receiving confirmation:
      • Green – reception successful
      • Red – data reception failed

Steps 2 and 3 may be repeated up to 3 times (with increased transmission power on repeats).

Installation

Selecting the Installation Location

Carefully choose the installation location for the U‑Prox PIR Cam device, taking into account the direction of the lens and camera as well as any obstacles that might restrict the sensor’s view.

The sensor should be installed so that the area most likely to experience an intrusion is within its maximum field of view, and the intruder’s movement is perpendicular to the installation axis.

To maximize the sensor’s field of view, install it at a height of 2.1 meters from the floor level.

The device must not be placed:

1. Outdoors or in rooms with unsuitable humidity and temperature
2. In locations with high levels of radio interference
3. Near objects that may cause attenuation or shielding of the radio signal (e.g., metal, mirrors)
4. Where direct sunlight falls on the sensor lens
5. Opposite objects with rapidly changing temperatures or in areas with strong air circulation
6. Opposite moving objects at approximately human body temperature
7. Closer than 1 meter from the security center

It is recommended to perform the installation in the following sequence:

1. Register the sensor in the security system using the U‑Prox Installer app
2. Select the installation location with the optimal signal using the U‑Prox Installer app (note that the sensor can be installed either vertically or horizontally)
3. Install the mounting bracket
4. Install the device

Mounting

1. The kit includes two brackets – one for angled installation and one for installation on a flat surface

2. Mount the appropriate bracket using the screws and dowels provided in the kit.

3. Install the device on the bracket and slide it downward to secure and lock the tamper contact (5). Flashes on the indicator light (2) will confirm that the tamper is locked.

For flat surfaces – Angled bracket

WARNING! WHEN THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY, THE TAMPER WILL BE CLAMPED (LOCKED).

Switching On and Off

Move the switch (9) to the ON position – the indicator light will turn on.

If the device has already been registered in the security system, it will switch to the next mode.

To turn off the device, move the switch (9) to the OFF position.

WARNING. IF THE DEVICE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED, IT WILL ENTER SLEEP MODE AFTER 30 SECONDS.

Settings

• Download and install the U‑Prox Installer mobile application for system configuration
• Launch the U‑Prox Installer app and log in, or access the system via the U‑Prox Installer WEB portal

If necessary, register in the system as an independent installer or gain access as a security company installer.

Adding a Device to the Security System (Registration)

• Launch the U‑Prox Installer app or open the WEB portal in a browser and log in
• Select from the list the U‑Prox MPX device to which you want to add the wireless sensor
• Press the button (I) (“Add radio device”) so that the security center enters registration mode for sensors, keypads, etc. In this window, click on the device icons to view activation instructions.
• According to the instructions, turn on the wireless sensor and bring it to the security center at a distance of about 1 meter
• Wait 15–20 seconds – the wireless sensor will be registered

WARNING! THE DEVICE WILL BE ADDED TO THE FIRST AVAILABLE ZONE WITH THE LOWEST NUMBER.

The wireless sensor settings will then open in the app. Configure the device as required.

Basic Settings of U‑Prox PIR Cam

Select the device you want to configure from the list:

• “Name” – the device name
• “Group” – select the security group to which the device belongs. A security group is a logical collection of zones within a protected premises (e.g., a room, apartment, garage, or floor of a building) representing the minimal security unit. Security groups allow simultaneous control of all zones; users can view only those groups, devices, and events for which access is granted.
• “Sensitivity” – set the motion detection range of the sensor: Low (about 6 meters), Medium (about 8 meters), or High (about 12 meters).
• “Light indication” – enable or disable the device’s light indicator
• “Temperature limits notification” – when the device exceeds the specified temperature limits, it will generate corresponding events (“Cooling” and “Overheating”), which can be used in various scenarios.
• “Settings” – choose the operating mode of the device based on its intended use:
  1. “Delayed” or “Entrance zone”:
     • If the system is armed, triggering the sensor starts an entry delay. If the system is not disarmed during this delay, the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
     • When arming, an exit delay will commence, after which the system will be armed.
  2. “Without delay”:
     • If the system is armed, triggering the sensor immediately switches the system to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
     • If the system is disarmed, sensor triggering is ignored.
  3. “Corridor”:
     • If the system is armed and there is no entry delay (or the delay has expired), the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
     • If the system is armed and an entry delay is active, sensor triggering is ignored.
     • If the system is disarmed (or if an exit delay is in progress), sensor triggering is ignored.
  4. “Internal corridor”:
     • If the system is armed and there is no entry delay (or the delay has expired), the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
     • If the system is armed and an entry delay is active, sensor triggering is ignored.
     • If the system is disarmed (or if an exit delay is in progress), sensor triggering is ignored.
     • If the system is armed in Perimeter mode (“Stay” or “Night mode”), sensor triggering is ignored.
  5. “Inner zone”:
     • If the system is armed, triggering the sensor switches the system to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
     • If the system is armed in Perimeter mode (“Stay” or “Night mode”), sensor triggering is ignored.
     • If the system is disarmed, sensor triggering is ignored.
  6. “24‑hour zone” (around the clock):
     • Regardless of the system mode, if the sensor is triggered, the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
  7. “Delayed entry” (only for the delayed installation type) – the time allowed to disarm the security system after entering the premises.
  8. “Delayed exit” (only for the delayed arming type) – the time allowed to exit the premises after arming or disarming.
  9. “Delay for entry in Stay Armed mode” (only for the delayed arming type) – the time provided for disarming the security system after entering the premises (when arming in Stay/Night mode).
  10. “Delay to exit in Stay Armed mode” (only for the delayed installation type) – the time allowed to exit the premises after arming the Perimeter security mode (Stay/Night mode).
  11. “Intelligent Alarm Recognition” – when enabled, the motion sensors within a security group form a single “smart zone” with an alarm confirmation function. When any sensor in the smart zone is triggered, a default delay (typically 20 seconds) begins; if an alarm condition occurs on any sensor during this period, if a sensor triggers repeatedly, or if the sensor remains in alarm until the delay expires, an alarm signal is sent to the security company.
  12. “Arming with a violated sensor” – forced arming of a sensor even if it is malfunctioning, with options:
      • “Forced arming after exit delay” – if the sensor does not recover after the exit delay countdown, the system switches to “Alarm” and sends an alarm notification.
      • “Forced arming when the sensor is restored” – the system waits for the sensor to recover and then arms it.
  13. Special Settings:
      • “Disable tamper” – when enabled, the device will not respond if the case is opened.
      • “Disable alarm when communication is lost” – do not generate an alarm when communication with the device is interrupted.
