MotionCam Outdoor User Manual

Updated August 19, 2021

MotionCam Outdoor is a wireless outdoor motion detector with a camera for
alarm veriﬁcation. Detects movement at a distance of 3 to 15 meters. Has anti-
masking protection, ignores animals when correctly conﬁgured and installed.

The detector only works with

and

. Connecting to other hubs, ReX

range extenders, and ocBridge Plus and uartBridge integration modules is not supported!

MotionCam Outdoor works as part of the Ajax security system by connecting to
the hub via

and

encrypted radio protocols. The communication

range without obstacles is up to 1,700 meters.
