Texecom Capture is the current range of Texecom motion detectors. It covers wall-mount PIRs (P15, Q20), wall-mount dual technology detectors (D20, A20) and 360° ceiling detectors (CQ, CD, CA), with most models also available as Ricochet wireless "-W" versions. Pick by mounting position, detection technology and grade: Grade 2 suits most homes and small businesses, while the anti-masking A20 and CA are Grade 3.

Wall-mount PIRs: Capture P15 and Q20
Choose a PIR for typical rooms, hallways and landings. The Capture P15 15m wired PIR detector uses a dual element pyro, covers 15m / 90°, mounts between 1.5m and 3m and has a cyan LED. The Capture Q20 20m quad PIR detector steps up to a quad element pyro and 20m / 90° coverage, so it suits longer rooms. Both offer optional PetWise mode.
Dual technology: Capture D20
Choose dual tech for areas where a PIR alone may be less dependable. The Capture D20 20m dual tech detector combines a quad pyro with K-band microwave for 20m / 85° coverage, and offers dual tech, PetWise and CloakWise modes. It is Grade 2.
Grade 3 anti-masking: Capture A20 and CA
Choose the A20 or CA when the system must meet Grade 3, typically higher-risk commercial premises. Both add anti-masking to quad pyro and K-band microwave detection.
Choose a 360° ceiling detector for open rooms or where wall mounting is awkward. The Capture CQ 360° ceiling quad PIR covers 9.3m / 360° with an optional low sensitivity mode. The Capture CD 360° ceiling dual tech covers 8m / 360° with low sensitivity, dual tech and CloakWise modes, and is also available in black.
Capture wireless (-W) versions
Wireless Capture models use Texecom's Ricochet wireless, so they need a Ricochet-capable Premier Elite system. Our guide to Texecom Ricochet wireless explains the options.
