Motion Detector Hikvision OPAL dual-technology motion sensor (MPN: OPAL)

Hikvision OPAL dual-technology motion sensor combines two independent sensing methods to detect movement reliably in indoor environments. Designed for integration with alarm panels and security systems, the detector monitors protected zones continuously and confirms motion events by cross-checking inputs from both technologies. This approach reduces false alarms caused by pets, airflow, or sudden temperature changes, making the device suitable for both residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

The dual-technology design improves detection accuracy by requiring agreement between two sensing channels before signalling an alarm. Compact indoor form factor allows discreet placement on walls or corners. Compatibility with standard alarm control panels enables straightforward integration into existing security setups. Reduced false alarm rates lower maintenance and response costs and improve reliability of event reporting.

Suitable for

• Residential living rooms, hallways and entryways
• Small offices and retail premises
• Corridors and common areas in apartment buildings
• Areas requiring reduced false alarms, such as rooms with pets or HVAC influence

Key specifications

• Dual-technology motion detection combining two independent sensing methods
• Indoor mounting suitable for wall or corner installation
• Continuous zone monitoring with alarm signal output to control panels
• Compact housing designed for discreet placement
• Optimized to reduce false alarms from environmental factors and small animals

How to use

Mount the detector on a stable vertical surface or in a corner at the manufacturer-recommended height for optimal coverage of the protected zone. Connect the device to the alarm panel following the panel and detector wiring diagrams, ensuring correct power and signal wiring. Configure sensitivity and any available pet-immunity or masking options via the alarm control panel or detector settings, then test the coverage area by walking through the protected zones to confirm reliable detection and correct reporting to the panel.

Usage recommendations

Place the detector away from direct heat sources, air vents and windows to minimize environmental triggers. For spaces with pets, use recommended mounting heights and sensitivity settings to balance detection range and false alarm reduction. Perform periodic tests and clean the detector housing to maintain optimal performance.
