Hi all,
I have been testing my Ajax system for a while now, and I must start by saying these systems are top notch, so please don't take this post as anything against the maker, on the contrary - I find Ajax to be one of the best out there.
That said, while testing I did find some problems, one of which is the following, and is being denied by the company (which is very responsive and always replies):
They publish their indoor motion sensors as having "Pet immunity" for weight — up to 20 kg, and height — up to 50 cm. Naturally this would be great for domestic users who own a cat or small dog.
Unfortunately, testing a well installed motion sensor (both MotionCam & MotionProtect Plus) at 2.4m height and following all installation instructions down to the letter - will not detect an 80 kg guy going on 4, fast, around it's whole protection filed, be it far or close by, towards the sensor or across it's filed.
Following Ajax's advise, I have uploaded a video to their lab people to analyze, and the final conclusion was that they claim something is wrong with my installation, they just can't put their finger on what exactly, even tough they have asked and received follow up information and image materials to explain and show the area in detail.
I have repeated this test in other rooms with several other motion sensors, and unfortunately got same results.
I'd hereby like to kindly ask our fellow forum members to test their own Ajax indoor motion sensors while going on 4 and inform us of your findings, so that I could potentially better understand what I did wrong, or otherwise follow up with Ajax and ask them to consider a fix.
Thanks in advance!
P.s. - can you test another maker's sensor that claims to have such "Pet immunity"? Please do! Video demonstrations and technical insights about you installation are highly appreciated (height, is there floor heating there? etc.).
