Description
A flat or an average-sized house does not need a 200-device system. It needs the door people actually come through covered properly, the internal walkway everyone crosses covered too, and arming and disarming to take no thought at all. That is exactly this kit: a Hub 2 panel, a PIRCAM HDR photo detector, a magnetic contact and a key fob.
The photo detector is the piece that changes daily life: when it trips, photos of whatever caused it arrive, and you decide with information instead of nerves. The panel reports over Ethernet and two 2G (GPRS) SIMs — three routes — is Grade 2 certified, takes up to 100 devices and up to 25 IP cameras or recorder channels, and its 868 MHz radio (Jeweller and Wings) reaches around 2,000 m in open space. It has an anti-tamper switch and receives firmware updates remotely, so it does not age standing still.
How we install it. The panel is screwed to an indoor wall on its SmartBracket — the rear tamper is what reports it being pulled off — with power beside it, a network socket if the cable path is used, and both SIMs with the PIN removed. The photo detector goes at the height Ajax specifies, across the walkway everyone must use, never facing a window and never with a radiator in front. We register each piece by QR in the app and finish with the detection-zone test and the signal-strength test.
If the house is large, has outbuildings or will carry cameras, the step up is the Hub 2 Plus kit (200 devices, four communication routes). If you already have detectors and only need the panel, that is the Hub 2. Every other combination lives under kits.
Who it’s for and who it’s not for. This is the kit for a normal-sized apartment or house where it’s important to see what triggered the alarm before taking action. It is not suitable for a large estate with annexes or an installation that will exceed 100 devices: for that, the Hub 2 Plus version is available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the photos from the photo detector arrive in the same alert?
Yes: when the PIRCAM MotionCam HDR is triggered, the images travel via the Wings channel to the app. This allows you to make informed decisions instead of rushing out based on a blind alert.
How many sirens and keypads can the hub of this kit support?
Up to 100 devices in total, with a limit of 10 between sirens and wireless touch keypads. In a normal home, this limit is not reached.
How does it alert if the router goes down?
The Hub 2 of this kit communicates via Ethernet and two 2G SIM cards (GPRS). Even if the cable is down, the alert continues to be sent via the mobile network.
