AJAX Curtain Beam PIR Indoor Sensor, Black and White

The AJAX Curtain Beam PIR Indoor is a motion detector built for indoor security. It belongs to the AJAX range of wireless alarm components and is offered in a black and white version, so you can choose the finish that best matches your walls, door frames and décor.
Unlike a standard motion sensor that watches a wide room, a curtain beam detector concentrates its sensing into a narrow, vertical zone. This curtain-like barrier of detection is ideal when you need to watch a specific opening or path rather than an entire space. It helps you cover a doorway, a hallway opening, a window run or a narrow corridor with a single device.
How it works
The sensor uses passive infrared (PIR) technology. It monitors the infrared heat signatures in its field of view and reacts when a warm moving body, such as a person, crosses the detection curtain. Because PIR sensing is passive, the device does not need to transmit a signal to detect activity, and it is generally unaffected by ordinary light changes in the room.

Typical uses
Because of its narrow detection zone, this sensor suits many indoor situations where a broad motion detector would be less precise. Common applications include:
- Guarding a doorway or corridor entrance
- Monitoring a window line or wall opening
- Protecting stairways and passages between rooms
- Covering storage rooms, back offices and stock areas
- Supplementing other detectors in a shop or office layout
Placement and installation
Placement is important for any motion sensor. Aim the curtain beam across the path you want to monitor, so that a person has to cross the detection line to pass through. Avoid pointing the sensor directly at heat sources such as radiators, heaters or sunlit windows, as these can cause unnecessary triggers. Keep the device away from large moving objects, such as curtains or plants, where possible. Follow the manufacturer’s guidance for mounting height and angle.
Integration with an alarm system
The sensor is designed to be one element of a wider AJAX alarm installation. Combining it with other AJAX detectors, a keypad for arming and disarming, and a central hub gives you a flexible way to monitor your premises. You can add or move devices as your security needs change over time.
Who it is for
This product suits homeowners, small business owners and facility managers who want a discreet, indoor-only sensor for specific openings. Its black and white finish makes it easy to fit into a range of interiors without drawing attention.
If you are unsure whether this sensor is the right choice for your layout, consider the size and shape of the area you need to cover, the number of entry points, and how the device will fit with your other AJAX components.
