Hikvision DS-PDCM15PF-IR Ax Pro Wireless Outdoor Camera to suit Tri-Tech Detector, IP66
The Hikvision DS-PDCM15PF-IR is a camera module for the AX PRO wireless alarm system. It is not a standalone surveillance camera - it clips onto the AX PRO wireless outdoor Tri-Tech detector and adds visual alarm verification, capturing a short burst of photos when the detector triggers and sending them to the Hik-Connect app and the monitoring centre so a real intrusion can be told apart from a false alarm. Built-in infrared up to 15 m gives images at night, and the module is IP66 for outdoor use.

01Overview
What the DS-PDCM15PF-IR is
The Hikvision DS-PDCM15PF-IR adds eyes to your AX PRO alarm. It is a camera module - not a standalone CCTV camera - that snaps onto the AX PRO wireless outdoor Tri-Tech detector and gives you visual verification of an alarm. When the detector senses an intrusion, the module captures a short sequence of photos and sends them to the Hik-Connect app and, if monitored, to the alarm receiving centre, so you and the operator can see what set the alarm off and respond to genuine events rather than false ones.
It is designed for the job. A 2 mm lens gives a wide 137° horizontal view that matches the detector's coverage, and the mounting bracket lets you align the camera angle to the detection area. Images are in colour by day, and built-in infrared up to 15 m provides clear pictures at night. The module shares the AX PRO system's two-way wireless link, with tamper protection, low-battery and RF supervision and active infrared anti-masking, and it is fully configurable through Hik-Connect. The IP66 housing suits outdoor walls.
Be clear on what it is and is not. It captures still images for alarm verification, at up to 640 x 480 - enough to confirm whether a person is present, not to read a face or number plate - and it does not record continuous video or connect to an NVR. It is powered from the detector it attaches to, so it needs an AX PRO hub and a compatible AX PRO wireless outdoor Tri-Tech detector to work. If you want continuous CCTV footage, pair the alarm with a separate surveillance camera and recorder.
