Hikvision DS-PDP18-EG2 AX Hybrid Series Wired internal 18m PIR detector
The Hikvision DS-PDP18-EG2 is a wired indoor PIR motion detector from the AX Hybrid range, giving 18 metres of volumetric coverage from a slim, unobtrusive housing. It uses a dual-element infrared sensor and a 3D Fresnel lens to detect a moving intruder accurately while ignoring everyday nuisances, and its selectable end-of-line resistors let it wire into almost any hardwired or hybrid alarm panel.
Key points
- 18 m volumetric coverage at an 85.9° detection angle
- Dual-element PIR sensor with 3D Fresnel lens optics

§ 01Overview
What the DS-PDP18-EG2 is
The Hikvision DS-PDP18-EG2 is a wired internal PIR (passive infrared) motion detector, part of Hikvision's AX Hybrid alarm range.
It is designed to sit discreetly in the corner of a room and cover up to 18 metres across an 85.9° field, picking up an intruder's body heat as they move through the protected area.
Inside, a dual-element infrared sensor works with a 3D Fresnel lens to focus the infrared signal precisely, which improves catch performance on a real target while reducing false alarms.
A dedicated creep zone covers the blind spot directly beneath the detector so an intruder cannot crawl under the beam, a sealed optical chamber keeps insects and stray light from causing nuisance trips, and Hikvision's IFT anti-interference circuitry holds the alarm threshold steady when there is electrical or electromagnetic noise nearby.
Sensitivity is selectable (High, Auto or Low) to suit the room.
This is a hardwired detector: it runs on 9-16 VDC (12 VDC standard) with reverse-polarity protection, and it offers selectable end-of-line resistor values (1K, 2K2, 4K7, 5K6 and 8K2 for the alarm, plus matching tamper values), so it wires neatly into Hikvision AX Hybrid panels and most other hardwired alarm controllers.
It mounts at 1.8 to 2.4 m on a wall or, with the optional bracket, a ceiling.
For homes with animals, an optional pet mask gives immunity to pets up to about 10 kg.
It is genuine Australian Hikvision stock with local warranty and support.

§ 04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDP18-EG2
Fewer false alarms
A sealed anti-insect optical chamber, IFT anti-interference circuitry and selectable sensitivity work together to keep the detector triggering on real intruders, not bugs or electrical noise.
Full-room, no-gap coverage
18 metres at 85.9° with dedicated creep-zone protection covers a large room right down to the wall beneath the unit, leaving no easy path for an intruder to crawl under.
Pet-friendly option
Fit the optional pet mask for immunity to pets up to about 10 kg, so the family cat or small dog will not set the alarm off.
§ 05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Living and family rooms
Mount in a corner to cover an open living area, hallway or entry where an intruder is most likely to pass.
Offices and shops
Protect a reception, office or retail floor on a hardwired alarm with a detector that resists false trips from insects and electrical noise.
Homes with pets
Add the optional pet mask so animals up to about 10 kg can move around without triggering the alarm.
Upgrades to existing wired alarms
Replace ageing PIRs on a hardwired panel using the selectable resistor values to match the existing zone wiring.
§ 06Setup
Installation & setup
What's in the box
One DS-PDP18-EG2 wired PIR detector with mounting hardware. The optional pet mask, ceiling bracket and zone cabling are not included; an alarm panel is required.
Installation requirements
Mount the detector in a room corner at 1.8 to 2.4 m, run the zone cable back to your alarm panel and set the end-of-line resistor value to match the panel. Connect 9-16 VDC power (reverse-polarity protected), choose the sensitivity setting for the room, and walk-test the coverage before arming. Fit the optional pet mask first if you have animals. Professional installation is recommended for hardwired alarm work.
