Hikvision DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WE PIR Wireless Camera Motion Detector

Hikvision PIR camera detector is intended for indoor mounting, in locations such as living room, kitchen, hallway, bedroom or for use in office buildings.

The PIR camera detector has the model number DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WE and is a fully secured wireless two-way detector with motion detection, built-in high quality camera for video verification, tamper protection, low battery check and connection check. It can work up to 6 years from a built-in battery. It ignores animals while recognizing humans from the first step.

Detection range of DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WE

The Hikvision PIR camera detector can monitor an area of 12 meters from the sensor on motion at an angle of 85.9 degrees. Place the detector in the corner of a room, then the entire room is protected.

The sensor divides the area into 52 zones and triggers an alarm if one or more zones detect movement. This sensitivity is adjustable via the Hik-Connect application on your smartphone. There are 3 modes, high sensitivity, normal and animal friendly. The latter should be chosen if cats or dogs are present in the protected area. Pets up to 30KG are not detected in this mode.

Range from the Hikvision Hub

The range from the Hub to the Hikvision PIR camera detector DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WE is 800 meters in open field. The connection is continuously monitored by the Hikvision Cloud. If the wireless signal is intentionally disrupted it will be reported immediately via the Hik-Connect app on your smartphone. The wireless Hikvision signal is called Tri-X, and operates on 2 different frequencies in the 868mhz band and has AES-128 encryption.

Mounting height

The ideal height to mount the PIR camera detector is between 1.80 meters and 2.40 meters high. If you have pets, we recommend a minimum height of 2 meters. At this height, a dog of up to 30 kilograms can walk around freely without activating the alarm. If you mount the PIR lower than the recommended height, it will react earlier to pets and the detection distance of 15 meters decreases. Of course, all installation necessities are included.

Logging in and mounting

All Hikvision products are easy to connect. Registration is done with a QR code on each device. Put the Hik-Connect app in " Enroll" mode and you can start adding products by scanning the QR code in the app.

Mount the detector on a wall without dismantling it. Make sure there are no vases, cabinets or glass objects blocking the viewing angle. And you're done. Remember that the ideal location for this PIR camera detector is in the corners of your home. Because of its detection angle, it can secure an entire room at this location.
Settings of the Hikvision PIR camera detectorIn addition to

setting the sensitivity, you can make a number of other adjustments. For example, you can choose to use the detector as a bell function. As soon as someone walks into the room, you will hear a bell on your phone. This doorbell function seems to us more something for shopkeepers or to use with a door contact, so that you are informed when someone comes to your home, for example the children coming from school.

In addition, you can specify when the detector should detect. Only when you switch on the alarm system, or for example permanently if you mount it in a room that needs to be monitored permanently, like a safe room.

Works on batteries

The detector, like all Hikvision products in the AX Pro alarm system, runs on CR123A batteries and is therefore completely wireless. There are 3 pieces CR123A batteries in the wireless PIR camera detector. They are easy to place anywhere without having to lay cables. The lifetime of the standard batteries is 6 years under normal use. After this time they are easy to replace for a few euros for new ones. These batteries are always available from stock. How to replace the batteries can be found in the manual of the PIR camera detector DS-PDPC12P-EG2-WE.

The internal PIR is active in temperatures between -10 and +55 degrees Celsius. Outside these values, the detection quality declines. The dimensions are 120,5mm x 72,2mm x 56,7mm and the weight is 210 grams.
