Hikvision DS-PDCL12-EG2-WE Wireless PIR Ceiling Detector

Hikvision internal ceiling PIR detector is intended for indoor mounting in locations such as living room, kitchen, hallway, bedroom or for use in office premises. This ceiling detector is ideal for spaces that do not have a square or rectangular shape, but also very suitable for large spaces due to its huge detection area.

The PIR ceiling detector has the model number DS-PDCL12-EG2-WE and is a fully secure wireless two-way detector with motion detection, tamper protection, low battery monitoring and connection monitoring. It can operate up to 5 years from a built-in battery. It ignores animals while recognizing humans from the first step.

Detection range of the DS-PDCL12-EG2-WE.

The Hikvision internal PIR ceiling detector can monitor an area of 12 meters from the sensor for motion in a 360-degree field. Therefore, if you place the detector in the middle of a room, the room may be 24 by 24 meters. In fact, the detector can view each side 12 meters. The sensor divides the area into no less than 172 zones and triggers an alarm if 1 or more zones detect movement. This sensitivity is adjustable via the Hik-Connect application on your smartphone. There are a total of 3 modes, high sensitivity, normal and animal friendly. The latter should be chosen if cats or dogs are present in the area to be secured. Pets up to 30KG will not be detected in this mode.

Range from the Hikvision Hub

The range from the Hub to the ceiling detector DS-PDCL12-EG2-WE is 1,600 meters in open field. The connection is continuously monitored by the Hikvision Cloud. If the wireless signal is intentionally disrupted it will be notified immediately via the Hik-Connect app on your smartphone. The Hikvision wireless signal is called Tri-X, and operates on 2 different frequencies in the 868mhz band and has AES-128 encryption.

Mounting height

The ideal height to mount the PIR ceiling detector is between 2.4 meters and 4.0 meters high. So you are very flexible in mounting this detector. It is therefore also ideally suited for homes with very high ceilings. Mounting the ceiling detector is easy to do yourself. Of course, all installation supplies are included.

Logging in and mounting

All Hikvision products are easy to connect. Logging in is done with a QR code on each device. It is even easier if you activate the "Enroll" function in the Hub settings of the Hik-connect app. All you then have to do to pair a detector is turn it on, and the connection between Hub and detector is complete. It doesn't get any simpler than this.
Battery-operated

The ceiling detector, like all Hikvision AX Pro alarm system products, is battery-operated, type CR123A and therefore completely wireless. They can therefore easily be placed anywhere without having to lay cables. The life of the batteries supplied as standard is 5 years under normal use. After this time they can easily be replaced for new ones for a few euros. These batteries are always available from stock. How to replace the batteries can be found in the manual of the internal PIR ceiling detector DS-PDCL12-EG2-WE.
