Hikvision AX PRO Series DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB Wireless PIR Detector

Model: DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB

Who This Is For

For installers and property owners who need a wireless motion detector that integrates directly into the Hikvision AX PRO alarm ecosystem without running detection cabling through finished walls or ceilings. The DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB is built for indoor spaces where pets are present - the 30 kg pet immunity threshold means it will not generate nuisance trips from most medium to large dogs or cats moving through the detection zone. With a 15-metre detection range and two-way wireless communication back to the AX PRO hub, it suits residential living areas, home offices, and small commercial interiors where retrofit installation or clean aesthetics make a wired PIR impractical. Battery life rated up to 5 years keeps ongoing maintenance low, and the low battery alert ensures the detector flags a replacement need before coverage is compromised.

What This Detector Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• AX PRO system owners expanding zone coverage: Buyers who already have a Hikvision AX PRO hub installed and need to add motion detection to an additional room without running new cabling through finished plasterboard.
• Pet owners requiring armed-overnight protection: Households with dogs or cats up to 30 kg who need to arm the alarm at night while animals move freely through living areas - a scenario that eliminates the usefulness of standard PIR detectors.
• Retrofit installers working in heritage or tenanted properties: Trades and DIY installers where drilling through walls for wired detector runs is restricted by body corporates, heritage requirements, or tenancy agreements.
• Small business operators with unmanned premises: Retail, office, or light commercial occupancies where a wireless detector covers a single high-risk zone - a stockroom, server room, or reception - without requiring a full wired upgrade.

Honest Assessment

The DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB does its core job well: it delivers 15-metre wireless PIR coverage with meaningful pet immunity, two-way communication back to the AX PRO hub, and a battery life that keeps maintenance calls to a minimum. The tamper protection and adaptive detection settings make it a practical choice for indoor residential and light commercial installations where cable runs are not viable. Supplied by Security Australia as part of the AX PRO accessories range, it is worth pairing with the correct AX PRO hub if you do not already have one, as this detector is not compatible with third-party alarm panels. It will not cover outdoor applications - for perimeter detection, a separate outdoor-rated PIR or dual-tech detector is the appropriate product type. If your site has animals heavier than 30 kg, pet immunity at this threshold will not be sufficient and a different detection approach is needed.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You are expanding an existing Hikvision AX PRO system and need wireless indoor motion coverage in a room where pets up to 30 kg are present and cabling is not practical.
• Good match if: You need a low-maintenance detector with up to 5-year battery life and two-way wireless supervision for a lightly monitored residential or small commercial zone.
• You may need a different model if: Your installation requires outdoor perimeter detection, animals heavier than 30 kg are present, or you are running a non-Hikvision AX PRO alarm panel - in each case a different detector type available at securityaustralia.com.au will be more suitable.

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You are running a Hikvision AX PRO alarm system and need to add indoor wireless motion detection with 30 kg pet immunity and two-way supervised communication in a location where cabling is impractical.
• You may need a different model if: Your application requires outdoor perimeter detection, dual-tech (PIR plus microwave) false-alarm rejection for high-traffic areas, or compatibility with a non-Hikvision alarm panel - a wired or outdoor-rated detector type from the broader range at securityaustralia.com.au will better suit those requirements.
• Pairs well with: A Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm hub, additional AX PRO door and window contact detectors, and a compatible indoor siren or keypad for a complete wireless alarm system.

Common Questions

1. Will the DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB work with any alarm panel, or only Hikvision AX PRO?

   Only with Hikvision AX PRO. The DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB uses Hikvision's proprietary two-way wireless protocol, which is specific to the AX PRO hub. It will not enrol into third-party alarm panels or generic RF receivers. If you are not running an AX PRO system, you will need a different detector type that matches your panel's protocol.

2. Does the 30 kg pet immunity actually work, and what are the conditions?

   Yes, but mounting position is critical. Pet immunity at the 30 kg threshold is only reliable when the detector is installed at the manufacturer's recommended height and horizontal angle. Mounting too low or tilting the detector downward toward the floor reduces the immunity effect and can result in larger dogs triggering false alarms. Animals heavier than 30 kg are outside the rated immunity range regardless of mounting height.

3. What does two-way wireless communication mean in practice for this detector?

   It means the AX PRO hub can both receive alarm signals from the detector and send acknowledgement commands back to it. This allows the hub to supervise the detector's connection status in real time and confirm that commands - such as disarm acknowledgements - were received. A one-way detector can go offline without the panel knowing; two-way supervision reduces that risk.

4. How long does the battery actually last, and what type does it use?

   Up to 5 years under typical residential usage conditions. The exact lifespan depends on how frequently the detector triggers, the ambient temperature at the installation site, and how often the system polls the device. The battery is replaceable, and the detector sends a low battery alert to the AX PRO hub before the battery fails, giving advance notice for a service visit.

5. Can this detector be used outdoors or in a garage?

   No. The DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB is rated for indoor use only. An unenclosed garage, carport, or outdoor area is outside its specified operating environment. For those applications, an outdoor-rated PIR or dual-tech detector with an appropriate IP or IK rating is the correct product type. Security Australia stocks AX PRO-compatible outdoor detectors for perimeter applications.

6. Does the tamper protection trigger if someone just removes the detector from the wall?

   Yes. The tamper circuit triggers both if the housing is opened and if the detector is forcibly removed from its mounting bracket. Either event generates an immediate tamper alert at the AX PRO hub regardless of whether the alarm is armed or disarmed, which is the standard behaviour for grade-compliant wireless detectors.

7. Will walls or other obstacles reduce the wireless range?

   Yes. The effective wireless range between the DS-PDP15P-EG2-WB and the AX PRO hub depends on the building construction between them. Solid masonry walls, concrete floors, and steel-framed partitions all attenuate the 868 MHz signal more than timber-framed plasterboard. The specified range is for open-air conditions - in a typical multi-room residential layout, always test signal strength at the intended mounting location before finalising the installation position.
