Ceiling PIR Motion Detector Hikvision DS-PDCL12-EG2 — Wired, 12 m Detection, Indoor, White

Hikvision DS-PDCL12-EG2 is a wired ceiling-mounted passive infrared (PIR) motion detector for indoor use, designed to detect human movement up to 12 metres. The sensor is intended for installation in rooms and corridors and integrates with wired security systems. It features alarm LED indication and low current consumption, operating from a 9–16 V DC supply.

Advantages

The detector provides reliable passive infrared detection optimized for ceiling installation, delivering a 360° coverage pattern suitable for central mounting. Its wired connectivity ensures continuous power and stable communication with control panels. Low power consumption and visible alarm LED make status and alarm conditions easy to verify during routine checks. The white housing blends with most indoor ceilings.

Suitable for

• Indoor room and corridor protection in residential or commercial premises
• Central ceiling mount in hallways, lobbies, offices and storage rooms
• Integration with wired alarm and access control systems
• Areas where predictable wiring and continuous power are preferred

When it may not be suitable

This detector is intended for indoor ceiling installation and is not suitable for outdoor use or locations exposed to weather. It requires a wired connection to a compatible control panel and a 9–16 V DC supply, so it is not appropriate for installations that demand battery operation or wireless connectivity. For very large open areas beyond its 12 m detection range, coverage may be incomplete without additional detectors.

Key specifications

• Detection type: Passive infrared (PIR)
• Mounting: Ceiling-mounted, 360° coverage from central position
• Detection distance: Up to 12 metres
• Power supply: 9–16 V DC
• Power consumption: 13 mA (typical)
• Indicator: Alarm LED
• Colour: White
• Environment: Indoor use

How to use

Install the detector centrally on the ceiling of the area to be monitored, following mounting height guidelines for a 12 m detection radius. Connect the power and alarm wiring to the compatible control panel according to the panel manufacturer’s wiring diagram. After wiring, power the system and verify LED indications and alarm signalling by performing an on-site walk test across the coverage area. Adjust detector position or add masking if necessary to avoid false triggers from HVAC vents, reflective surfaces, or heat sources.

What to consider before purchase

• Required wired connection and availability of a 9–16 V DC supply from the control panel
• Ceiling height and layout to ensure the 12 m detection range provides full coverage
• Indoor-only suitability—avoid damp, outdoor or exposed environments
• Compatibility with the existing alarm/control system wiring and input types

Usage recommendations

Position the detector centrally for even coverage, perform a walk test after installation to confirm detection zones, and keep it away from direct airflow, heating sources and reflective objects that could affect PIR performance.
