Product Description
The Texecom AKC-0006 Capture Q20 is a wired quad PIR motion detector built for intruder alarm systems, not a standalone camera or CCTV sensor. It covers up to 20 metres at a 90° angle, so one unit can watch a long hallway or a mid-sized room from a corner mount.
"Quad PIR" means it uses four sensing elements rather than one, cross-checking movement patterns before triggering — this is what cuts down false alarms compared to basic single-element detectors. Digital temperature compensation adjusts sensitivity automatically as room temperature shifts, so detection stays reliable through a cold night or a warm afternoon rather than drifting.
Where it fits
- Grade 2 under EN50131-2-2 — the standard for professional intruder alarm installations in homes and light commercial premises.
- Wired, so it needs a cable run back to your alarm panel — check panel zone capacity before adding it.
- PetWise mode (optional, switchable) reduces false triggers from small animals, useful if you've got a cat or small dog roaming while the alarm is set.
- Mount indoors, wall-mounted, at roughly 1.5m to 3m height for correct coverage.
Before you buy
Check your alarm panel accepts wired PIR zones and that you have a clear, unobstructed line across the area you want protected — PIRs detect movement across their field of view, not straight at them. This is a black-housing version; confirm it suits your décor or installation preference before ordering.
