PixController Wireless Sensor
Introduction
Introduction
The PixController Wireless Sensor are a set of sensors which
send a wireless “trigger” command to a PixController
wireless camera system. These includes, but are not
limited to, the UndercoverEye™ Product line, Raptor Camera
Wireless Sensor Version, DigitalEye™ RF, DVREye™ RF, Remote
VideoEye™, and Sony LANC RF Systems.
There are many advantages in using a remote sensor triggered
camera system. Not only do they allow the camera systems to
be placed in more covert settings they allow the user to use
an array of different sensors. See the chart below for the
sensor type and application it can be used for. Multiple
sensor can be used in a single setup, and several
PixController wireless cameras can be used in a single
setup. Please see the example setups below.
Note:
Any of the PixController legacy products using the old
wireless PIR motion sensor (PixController wireless camera
products purchased before 10/2011) can be updated to use the new
wireless sensor product line. Download the procedure:

Sensor
Function |
|
PIR Motion Sensor |
Passive infrared detection (PIR) - body heat and motion will
trigger the sensor. Typically used to detect humans or
vehicles. Detection based on target heat moving over
background heat. The cooler the background heat is
and the hotter the target heat is the longer the
detection distance will be. Detection distance out
to 80'. Transmission distance up to 100'. Operates
on 3 AAA batteries lasting 1 year under normal use |
|
NO/NC Switch
Sensor |
Wireless switch sensor. Used with normally open or
normally closed contact sensors. Includes 16' cable
mounting to transmission tube. Transmission tube
includes 3 AAA batteries lasting 1 year under normal
use. Transmission distance up to 100'. |
|
Magnetic Switch Sensor |
Wireless magnetic
contact switch sensor for door/windows. The most
basic sensor of any alarm system is a door and
window magnetic contact switch. This type of contact
switch is for normally closed circuits; this means
that the when the magnets are lined up, the switch
is closed.
¾" Operation gap
triggers sensor.
Includes 16' cable
mounting to transmission tube. Transmission tube
includes 3 AAA batteries lasting 1 year under normal
use. Transmission distance up to 100'. |
|
Pressure Pad Sensor |
Wireless pressure pad sensor. Sensor activated with
65lbs of force or more. Sealed pressure pad for
outdoor and indoor use. Includes 16' cable mounting
to transmission tube. Transmission tube includes 3
AAA batteries lasting 1 year under normal use.
Transmission distance up to 100'. |
|
Vibration
Sensor |
The wireless vibration sensor will
trigger the wireless camera system in the event when
the sensor is shocked, vibrated, or moved. Includes
16' cable mounting to transmission tube.
Transmission tube includes 3 AAA batteries lasting 1
year under normal use. Transmission distance up to
100'. |

Example Setup 1
(1 Sensor Triggers 2 Devices)
This example
demonstrates how one sensor can be used trigger two devices.
In the example shown a wireless PIR sensor is setup in
conjunction with the UndercoverEye Raptor and UndercoverEye
Power Box. In this scenario a trigger event from the
wireless PIR sensor will activate the UndercoverEye Raptor
system and the UndercoverEye Power Box to illuminate the
target area from a different vantage point.
When using a wireless sensor to trigger multiple devices you
must test the setup in the field to make sure you have good
wireless transmission from the sensor to each device. Each
device will be triggered simultaneously. |

Example Setup 2
(3 Sensors Triggers 1 Device)
In this example we
are showing an example of multiple sensors used in
triggering one device. The example shown is using (3)
wireless PIR sensors to trigger an UndercoverEye MDVR camera
recording system. This type of setup is often used in
applications for catching trespassers along a remote road
entrance or trail. Applications include illegal dumping to
ATV trespassing.
In this scenario a sensor can be placed up the trail, in
front of the camera, and down the trail. When the suspect
enters the trail/road the end sensors will pre-trigger the
UndercoverEye MDVR and start record the event before the
suspect enters the frame. This is a very big advantage of
using remote sensors. |

Example Setup 3
(2 Different Sensors Trigger 1
Device)
Example 3
demonstrates that different types of wireless sensors can be
used in one application. This example shows the uses of a
wireless PIR sensor and a wireless pressure pad sensor used
to trigger an UndercoverEye MDVR camera recording system.
There is no limit to the number of sensor that can be used,
and there is no limit to the amount of wireless camera
devices that can be used in any particular setup. Each
sensor must be in transmission distance to the wireless
camera receiving device. |

Example Setup 4
(Sensor Addressing)
In this example we
will show you how you can use multiple sensors and multiple
cameras with sensor addressing. Each sensor can be setup to
send out 1 of 4 unique address codes. The recording camera
camera system can be setup to respond to 1 of 4 addresses,
or respond to all addresses. In this example we show a
UndercoverEye MDVR system setup to respond to wireless
sensor address "A", and two wireless PIR sensors programmed
to send the wireless address "A" when triggered.
Near the UndercoverEye MDVR we have placed a Raptor Cellular
Remote Sensor version which is setup to only respond to
wireless trigger address codes of "B" and a wireless
pressure pad sensor programmed to send the "B" address. |
