Description
The Ajax MotionProtect Plus is a wireless dual-technology motion detector that combines a PIR sensor with a K-band microwave sensor to produce a more reliable alarm signal than a single-technology detector can. For an alarm to trigger, both sensors must detect movement at the same time. That requirement eliminates the false alarms that plague standard PIR detectors, including those caused by nearby radiators, draughts, direct sunlight, or animals moving below the detection threshold.
This listing is for the Ajax MotionProtect Plus in White, professionally supplied and installed by CCTV Aware, Ajax Certified Specialists covering Essex, London, Hertfordshire, and Kent.
PIR and microwave working together
The PIR sensor detects the heat signature of a moving body. The microwave sensor, operating at 24 GHz, detects physical movement in the same zone independently. Because both technologies must agree before an alarm fires, the chances of either sensor triggering alone on a false cause are drastically reduced. This makes the MotionProtect Plus particularly well suited to environments where standard PIRs struggle, such as rooms with large windows, underfloor heating, or industrial spaces with variable ambient temperatures. SmartDetect, Ajax’s software analysis layer, adds a further filter before the alarm signal is sent.
Detection range and pet immunity
Installed at the recommended height of 2.4 metres, the MotionProtect Plus covers a range of up to 12 metres with an 88.5-degree horizontal detection angle. Sensitivity is adjustable across three levels through the Ajax app. Pet immunity protects against animals up to 20 kg in weight and 50 cm in height, allowing the detector to be used in homes with smaller pets without requiring the sensitivity to be reduced to a level that compromises security.
Battery life and connection range
The detector runs on a single pre-installed CR123A battery with a calculated life of up to five years. It connects to your Ajax Hub 2 or range extender via the Jeweller protocol with a radio range of up to 1,200 metres in open space. If someone attempts to remove the detector from the wall, the tamper sensor triggers immediately.

Yes. We can install CCTV as discreetly as possible, depending on your property and coverage requirements.
Options can include:
- Compact camera styles
- Higher mounting positions where appropriate
- Tidy cable routes and minimal visible trunking
- Recorder installed out of sight in a secure location
If your priority is a low profile install, tell us at quotation stage so we can recommend the best approach for your layout.
The recorder (DVR or NVR) is normally installed indoors in a secure, sensible location with good ventilation.
Common locations include:
- A cupboard or utility area
- An office
- A comms cabinet or rack
We typically install it near your internet router if you want remote viewing on your phone, as it needs a network connection.
If you have a preferred location, let us know during the quote stage and we will advise if it is suitable.
In many cases, yes.
Whether you can add cameras later depends on:
- How many spare channels your recorder has
- Whether the recorder has spare capacity on the hard drive
- Whether cable routes and power options are available
If you think you might expand in future, we can design the system with this in mind, for example fitting an 8 channel recorder for a 4 camera install, or leaving suitable cable routes.
Yes. Your CCTV system records locally to the recorder (DVR or NVR). If your broadband drops out, it will still continue recording as normal.
What you will lose during an internet outage is:
- Remote viewing from your phone or PC
- Push notifications and alerts to your phone
- Remote playback access
Once the internet comes back online, remote viewing and notifications will resume.
Recording time, also known as retention, depends on a few things:
- Number of cameras
- Camera resolution (for example 6MP, 8MP)
- Recording mode (continuous 24/7, motion only, or a mix)
- Frame rate and bitrate settings
- The hard drive size fitted to your recorder
As a rough guide, higher resolution and 24/7 recording will reduce retention. Motion based recording can greatly increase retention, but it depends on how busy the scene is.
We generally specify our systems to give you a retention period of 21 days.
Hikvision CCTV systems can support a multitude of notifications that can be configured to perform various actions from alerting your mobile phone to activating a parking barrier.
That being said, this guide talks about the three main notification options.
Motion Detection
In its simplest form, this is when an object enters the camera view area and a motion is triggered.
Line Crossing
An invisible line can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view area, for example the driveway threshold or the garden boundary. Once an object crosses over that line (from either way) - a line crossing is triggered.
Intrusion Detection
This is similar to Motion Detection but more specific. With Intrusion Detection an invisible quadrilateral shape can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view, for example directly outside your front door. Once an object then enters that area - an intrusion detection is triggered.
With all of the options above, the system is unable to detect the difference between a human, pet or other object. This can often result in false notifications being triggered to the user. In addition to this, if the system generates the notification - it is then down to your broadband provider (router) to push the notification out to your mobile device. This will often fail if your provider is not quite up to scratch or your mobile phone is currently in an area with poor coverage.
Because of this, we do not provide support on notifications that are sent to your mobile device.
Unfortunately, no.
We are authorised and Certified by Hikvision UK to supply and install their products.
We are unable to provide you with an installation only service if you have purchased your own equipment as we are not insured to do so.
In addition to this, we would be unable to provide you with our comprehensive support and warranty for three years that our systems come with.

Our prices are fixed, so the cost of your installation will really depend on the amount of cameras you require and the type of system.
