NEXT CAM PG2,
NEXT CAM-K9 PG2

Wireless, PowerG, PIR / Pet Immune Detectors with
Integrated Camera

1. INTRODUCTION

The Next CAM PG2 is a 2-way, microprocessor-controlled,
wireless digital PIR detector with integrated camera and
microphone for alarm verification.

The PIR detector's features are as follows:

 Combined Fresnel and cylindrical optics, up to 1 2 met ers ( 40 f t).
 The Next CAM PG2 includes wall creep zone protection.
 For pet immune version - Target Specific Imaging™ (TSI)

technology is used for distinction between human beings and
pets weighing up to 38 kg (85lb).

 Includes a fully supervised PowerG transceiver.
 The advanced True Motion Recognition™ algorithm (patented)

allows distinguishing between the true motion o f an intruder and
any other disturbances which may cause false alarms.

 No vertical adjust m ent is needed.
 Motion event counter determines whether 1 or 2 consecutive

motion events will trigger an alarm.

 Automatic termination of walk-test after 15 minutes.
 Microprocessor-controlled temperature compensation.
 Sealed chamber protects the optical system.
 Front cover and back tamper, for improved tamper protection.
 White light protection.
 Battery compartment

The camera's features are as follows:

 Day and night CMOS camera, with IR illumination. This allows

taking pictures in full darkness without letting the intruder know.

 Camera range: 12 m (40ft). With IR illumination 10m (33 ft).
 Picture format and resolution: JPEG, QVGA (320x240 pixels).
 Frame rate: up to 3 fps (for user).
 Audio format: ADPCM, 4bit / 2bit.

A. Separate the base from the cover (see Fig. 5).
B. Put back the cover to return the tamper switch to its normal

(undisturbed) position, and then secure the front cover to the
base with the case closure screw.

C. Walk-test the coverage area - see fig. 2. Wal k across the far

end of coverage pattern in both directions, The red LED lights
each time your motion is detected followed by 3 LED blinks.

The following table indicates received signal strength
indication.

Green LED blinks Strong

Orange LED blinks Good

Red LED blinks Poor

No blinks No communication

6. INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT! Reliable
reception must be assured.
Therefore, "poor" signal
strength is not acceptable.
If you receive a "poor"
signal from the detector, re­locate it and re-test until a
"good" or "strong" signal
strength is received.

Figure 4. General Guidelines

Important! The Next CAM-K9 PG2 detector is immune to 38 kg
(85 lb) animals moving on the floor or climbing on furnit ure as
long as the activity takes place below 1 m (3 ft). Above the 1 m
(3 ft) height limit, the detect or is immune t o 19 kg (42 lb) pets,
but the pet immunity will decrease as the pet gets closer t o the
detector. It is therefore recommended to select a mounting
location that minimizes potential close proximity of animals.

7. SPECIAL COMMENTS

Even the most sophisticated detectors can sometimes be defeated
or may fail to warn due to: DC power failure / improper connection,
malicious masking of the lens, tampering with the optical system,
decreased sensitivity in ambient temperatures close to that of the
human body and unexpected failure of a component part.

The above list includes the most common reasons for failure to
detect intrusion, but is by no means comprehensive. It is therefore
recommended that the detector and the entire alarm system be
checked weekly, to ensure proper performance.

An alarm system should not be regarded as a substitute for
insurance. Home and property owners or renters should be
prudent enough to continue insuring their lives and property, even
though they are protected by an alarm system.
