CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount PhOD outdoor curtain photo detector

15 m outdoor curtain photo detector, only 7° wide, with camera, night mode and dual technology in the same device.

What it is and what it does

The CurtainCam Outdoor HighMount PhOD creates a detection curtain right against the façade: 15 m long and only 7° wide. It combines infrared and K-band microwave in AND mode, with the SmartDetect algorithm against false alarms. It has a camera with HDR and infrared backlight for night photos, anti-masking, IP55 protection and six CR123A batteries, or 12 to 24 V external power.

Who Dartel installs it for

We install it in villas and houses with windows or a terrace at garden level, to alert when someone approaches the glass and not when they cross the plot. It has no pet immunity: if the dog is going to pass in front of it, it is not the right detector. For wider coverage, look at the MotionCam Outdoor HighMount PhOD.

How we install it

It goes outside, at the recommended height of 2 to 4 m, oriented along the façade so that the curtain sits right against windows and doors. We add it by reading its QR code in the app, adjust the sensitivity, set when it takes photos and check the signal from the exact spot before fixing it.
