The Dahua DHI-ARD1233-W2(868) is an AirShield wireless PIR detector (a passive infrared detector) and motion sensor. Used as a burglar alarm motion sensor and motion detector, it works with Dahua alarm hubs. A dual-element low-noise PIR sensor covers 12m at 90° from a 2.2m mounting height, the pet immunity function is rated at 18kg, and auto temperature compensation helps keep detection steady. It reports to the alarm hub over a two-way 868MHz link with AES128 encryption and frequency hopping.
Also listed as ARD1233-W2(868).

The detector has a pet immunity function rated at 18kg. Dahua gives no pet immunity rating above 18kg.
Dahua quotes 4 years on one CR123A battery, and the detector has a low battery alarm.
The detection range is 12m at 90° from a 2.2m installation height, for movement at 0.3m/s to 3m/s. It has 3 sensitivity levels.
Yes. It monitors temperature from -15°C to +65°C (indoor) with ±1°C accuracy, and uses two-way digital temperature compensation.
Dahua lists wall mount installation, and the ARA33A detector bracket as an optional accessory.
It is a wireless detector that reports to a Dahua alarm hub over 868MHz, such as the ARC3800H-FW2(868) above, and it runs on one CR123A battery.
