The Hikvision DS-PDC10AM-EG2-WE is the AX PRO outdoor curtain PIR — a narrow, directional beam built to guard a specific line an intruder has to cross: a gate, a gap in a fence, a pathway between buildings.
A beam, not a zone
Where the outdoor triple-signal detector covers an open area, this one covers a single 5° directional beam — up to 10 m wall-mounted or 5 m ceiling-mounted. That precision is the point: aimed across a gateway or a gap between buildings, it alarms on anyone crossing that exact line without needing to cover the whole garden.
Pet immunity, but only wall-mounted
Mounted on a wall, it ignores animals up to 12 kg. Ceiling-mounted, looking straight down, there is no pet immunity — the same trade-off as the indoor ceiling PIR, for the same reason.
Anti-masking
Reports if someone covers or sprays the lens before attempting a break-in — the outdoor detector's equivalent of tamper protection for the optics themselves, shown on a distinct green+orange LED pattern.
Built for the weather
IP65, rated −25°C to +60°C, with an included L-shaped bracket for angling the beam correctly on a wall or corner.
Five years on batteries
Two CR123A cells give up to five years standby, though Hikvision notes battery life is reduced in sustained low temperatures — worth planning for on an exposed north-facing position.
Radio built for alarms
Tri-X two-way wireless at 868 MHz, AES-128 encryption, frequency hopping, free-space range 1.6 km. Front and rear tamper.

Worth knowing before you order
This is a directional beam, not an area detector. Aim it precisely across the line you want covered — a gateway, a gap between fences — rather than treating it as a general-purpose garden PIR.
PIR only. For added confidence against foliage, wind or animal movement near the beam, the dual-technology DS-PDC10DM-EG2-WE adds 24 GHz microwave confirmation.
It needs an AX PRO panel. Part of the AX PRO system only.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I use this rather than the wide-area outdoor detector?
Anywhere you want to guard a specific crossing point — a gate, a gap in a fence, a path — rather than an open area.
Will it ignore my dog?
Only when wall-mounted, up to 12 kg. No pet immunity when ceiling-mounted.
What happens if someone covers the sensor?
Anti-masking reports a fault to the panel.
Does it work with other alarm panels?
No. It is a Tri-X 868 MHz device for Hikvision AX PRO panels only.
