Unless selecting a vari-focal camera (with an adjustable lens) It is important to select the correct camera lens option for where the camera is to be positioned. A smaller lens will give you a wider angle but will be "zoomed out more", while a bigger lens will narrow the angle down and "zoom in more". See below to give you some idea on angles of Megapixel HD Cameras:
| Lens in mm | Approx Viewing Angle (degrees) | Ideal Distance (metres) | Typical usage/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8 | 106 | <6 | For seeing as much of the immediate area as possible such as above a doorway/low down/garage soffits (edges can appear slightly warped/distorted) - clearly "zoomed out" |
| 3.6/4 | 83-90 | <12 | A great general purpose option giving great coverage still in the corner of a room or higher up on second floor soffits with less distortion - more of a natural "zoom" |
| 6 | 56 | 6-20 | Narrows down the angle and zooms in to look past the immediate area a little to gain more detail - down a driveway for example from higher up |
| 12 | 24 | 20+ | Zooms in significantly more to look at a gate, entrance or adjascent building |
| 16 | 19 | 24+ | As above but more so |
The amount of hard drive space you require is dictated by how many cameras, as well as their resolution and frame rate settings. Finally you can often make your storage space last a lot longer by enabling motion detected recording rather than continuous, especially if there are long periods of no activity.

Resolution (Megapixels) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per camera (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (continuous - full 25 frames per second) |
Days of storage provided by 1TB per 4 cameras (50% motion- 15 frames per second) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 44 | 11 | 36 |
| 2 | 22 | 5 | 18 |
| 3 | 17 | 4 | 14 |
| 4 | 11 | 3 | 9 |
| 5 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 6 | 8 | 2 | 6 |
| 8 (4K) | 5 | 1 | 4 |
| 12 | 4 | 0.5 | 3 |
As a rule of thumb we recommend a minimum of 2 Terabytes per 4 x 2-4MP HD cameras, as this should give you 2 weeks to a month with a few adjustments on motion detected recording. You may only require the full 25 frames per second on certain cameras if things are fast moving.

False alarms prevention
MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller equipped with a built-in camera to show the real situation at the facility. There are three types of photo verification: by alarm, by scenario, and on demand. The user can request and see photos with one click in the Ajax app.
Optics
The detector lens increases sensitivity to human motion, cutting off false alarms to other sources of IR radiation. It is designed so that potential IR radiation from pets and other interferences affect only the small lens sections. Large sections, on the contrary, are aimed at the most likely places of burglar motion.
Software
For additional protection against false alarms, the detector uses the SmartDetect algorithm. The armed detector constantly analyses the thermal diagram from the PIR sensor: the intensity of IR radiation, the size of the thermal spots, the speed of movement and other parameters.
Installation
When properly installed and configured, the detector does not react to common sources of false alarms and pets under 50 cm tall and 20 kg weight. For seamless installation, it has pre-installed batteries and the SmartBracket mounting panel. So, installers don’t need to disassemble the detector and won’t damage the electronics during installation.
Photo verification
MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller equipped with a built-in camera to show the real situation at the facility. There are three types of photo verification: by alarm, by scenario, and on demand. The user can request and see photos with one click in the Ajax app.
Photo by Alarm A built-in camera is activated if the detector is armed and motion is detected. Only users with access to the hub event feed and security company employees can view the photos.
Photo by Scenario A detector camera takes pictures automatically when Ajax fire detectors are triggered.
Photo on Demand The user takes pictures at any time or when a detector is armed (depending on settings). Photos on demand are not sent to the security company monitoring station.
Privacy on demand
Users can manage access rights to detectors with photo verification. The access level can be defined for each system user. Privacy settings determine:
- Which user can take and view photos on demand
- Which detectors with photo verification can be used to take photos on demand
- When the user can take photos on demand: at any moment or only when a detector is armed.
By default, all hub admins have the right to manage privacy settings. PRO users cannot manage privacy settings.
Two-way encrypted communication
Jeweller and Wings are two way wireless data transfer protocols that provide fast and reliable communication between hubs and devices. Radio protocols work independently of each other and focus on their own function. The Jeweller protocol delivers instant data rich alarms: security companies and users know which device was triggered, when and where it happened. The Wings protocol delivers photos taken by a detector built in camera.
Both protocols feature encryption and authentication to prevent forgery, and polling to display device status in real time. Supporting up to 1,700 m of wireless connectivity, Jeweller and Wings are ready to protect facilities and deliver the best user experience for both end users and installers.
