Dual Motion Detector VIDICON IX-PLUS — Microwave + PIR Dual Sensor, Model IX-PLUS

VIDICON IX-PLUS is a dual motion detector that combines microwave and passive infrared (PIR) sensing technologies to provide reliable movement detection for security and automation systems. The IX-PLUS model integrates both sensor types to improve detection accuracy and reduce false alarms, making it suitable for indoor environments and sheltered outdoor locations. It detects motion and can trigger alarms, notifications or connected automation devices in residential, office and commercial installations.

Advantages

The combined microwave and PIR sensors deliver layered detection: microwave waves cover the monitored volume while the PIR sensor responds to changes in thermal radiation, which together reduce the chance of false triggers caused by small animals, drafts or temperature shifts. The detector's design supports straightforward installation and stable operation in sheltered outdoor and indoor applications. Compatibility with standard security control panels enables quick integration into existing alarm systems and automation setups.

Suitable for

• Home security in corridors, living areas and entryways
• Office spaces and meeting rooms
• Small retail and commercial premises
• Monitored sheltered outdoor entrances and covered porches
• Integration with alarm panels and automation systems

Key specifications

• Detection technologies: combined microwave and passive infrared (PIR)
• Detection coverage: zone monitoring suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use
• Detection principle: dual-sensor correlation to reduce false alarms
• Mounting: wall or corner installation options for flexible placement
• Typical outputs: alarm signaling compatible with standard security control inputs
• Operating environment: designed for indoor and sheltered outdoor conditions

How to use

Mount the detector at the recommended height and orientation to cover the intended monitoring zone, ensuring the sensor faces the area of expected movement and is not obstructed by large objects. Connect the device to the security control panel or automation interface following the manufacturer's wiring scheme and safety guidelines. Configure sensitivity and detection settings through the control panel or on-detector adjustments where available, then test the detection zone by walking through the monitored area to verify proper response and to minimize blind spots.

Usage recommendations

Position the IX-PLUS away from direct sunlight, heating vents and moving branches or objects that could cause false triggers. For sheltered outdoor installations, ensure the detector is under cover and protected from precipitation. Periodically inspect and clean the sensor window to maintain reliable PIR performance and perform functional tests after any system changes or seasonal environmental shifts.
