AJAX Outdoor Motion Protect 2 PIR Sensor (White)
The AJAX Outdoor Motion Protect 2 PIR Sensor is a wireless outdoor motion detector from the AJAX alarm range. It uses passive infrared technology to detect movement of warm bodies in its detection zone, and it is finished in white to suit light-coloured buildings and outdoor settings. It is sold as part of our alarm systems and sensors and detectors selection.
What it does
Outdoor motion sensors are placed to watch areas where unexpected movement should trigger an alert. The Outdoor Motion Protect 2 is designed for this job outside the building. When it detects movement, it sends a signal to the connected AJAX hub, which can then raise an alarm or send a notification according to how the system has been set up.
Because the sensor is wireless, installation does not require running cables through walls or along the outside of the building. This keeps the work tidy and allows the sensor to be positioned where it gives the best view, rather than where a cable happens to reach.

Specifications
Detailed technical specifications such as detection range, viewing angle, power source, operating temperature and certifications are not listed in the product information available to us. Please check the manufacturer documentation supplied with the product before installation.
Typical uses
- Monitoring driveways, garden paths and side passages of homes
- Covering the outside of rear and side doors or ground-floor windows
- Securing yards, sheds, garages and outbuildings
- Adding outdoor coverage to an existing AJAX installation
- Perimeter detection for small commercial premises
Installation tips
Good placement is the key to reliable performance. Mount the sensor where it can view the area you want to protect, and avoid pointing it directly at heat sources such as heaters, vents, or exhausts, or at areas where sunlight or moving vegetation may cause frequent false triggers. Make sure the sensor is paired with your AJAX hub before mounting it permanently. After installation, run a walk test to confirm that the detection area covers the intended path.
Who it is for
This sensor suits homeowners who want outdoor coverage without extensive cabling, and installers who are building or extending an AJAX wireless alarm system. It is also a sensible choice for small businesses that need to monitor outdoor storage, car parks or service yards.
Getting the most from your system
An outdoor sensor works best as part of a layered setup. Combine it with indoor motion detectors, door and window contacts, a keypad for arming and disarming, and a panic button for emergencies. Review the placement and sensitivity periodically, particularly after seasonal changes in vegetation or lighting, to keep false alarms to a minimum.
