Hikvision DS-PDC10DM-VG3 Outdoor Directional Dual-Tech Anti-Mask Curtain Detector with EOLR, Slim, IP65
The Hikvision DS-PDC10DM-VG3 is a wired outdoor dual-tech curtain detector for AX Hybrid Pro and general wired alarm panels. It combines a PIR sensor with a 24GHz microwave sensor that must both agree before it alarms, throwing a narrow 5 degree curtain along a wall, window or balcony to catch an intruder at the perimeter - with far fewer false alarms outdoors.

01Overview
What the DS-PDC10DM-VG3 is
The Hikvision DS-PDC10DM-VG3 is a wired outdoor curtain detector that uses two sensing technologies together for dependable perimeter protection. A passive infrared sensor and a 24GHz microwave sensor must both detect a target before the unit alarms, which dramatically cuts the false alarms that catch out single-technology detectors outdoors - from wind-blown foliage, heat or small animals.
It throws a thin 5 degree curtain of detection, reaching 10m on a wall mount or 6m on a ceiling mount, across 32 zones with a detectable speed of 0.2 to 3m/s. Active IR anti-masking raises an alert if the lens is covered, sprayed or obstructed, so an intruder cannot quietly disable it first. Directional detection lets the system respond based on which way a target is moving, and a slim body suits window-frame mounting, with an L-shaped adapter bracket included for aiming. The IP65 housing handles outdoor conditions from -25 to 60 degrees.
Being wired, it gives a normally-closed alarm output with selectable end-of-line resistors, so the panel can supervise the zone for cut or shorted wiring, and front and rear tamper switches report interference. It runs on 9-16VDC (typically 12VDC) at a low current draw. It connects to an AX Hybrid Pro panel or another general wired alarm panel - not a wireless AX PRO hub. For a wireless equivalent, the DS-PDC10DM-EG2-WB is the hub-based dual-tech outdoor curtain detector, and the DS-PDC10AM-VG3 is the PIR-only wired version.

04Why choose this
Built for the way you actually use the DS-PDC10DM-VG3
Catch intruders at the perimeter
A narrow curtain beam guards walls, windows and balconies, giving warning before entry rather than after.
Anti-masking protection
Active IR anti-masking alarms if the lens is blocked, so the detector cannot be quietly disabled.
Supervised wired zone
A normally-closed output with selectable EOL resistors lets the panel watch for cut or shorted cabling.
05Where it fits
Right at home in these scenarios
Windows and balconies
Lay a curtain across ground-floor windows, sliding doors and balconies to stop entry attempts.
External walls and fence lines
Guard the face of a building or a fenced boundary along its length, outdoors in IP65 conditions.
High-false-alarm sites
Use dual-tech sensing where a single PIR would over-trigger from weather, traffic or wildlife.
Perimeter-first systems
Combine with indoor detectors so the alarm catches both the approach and any entry that follows.
06Setup
Installation & setup
-
01
Choose wall or ceiling
Wall mount gives the full 10m reach; ceiling mount gives 6m. Use the included L-shaped adapter to aim the 5 degree curtain.
-
02
Aim the curtain
Align the narrow beam along the wall, window or balcony you are protecting, at a mounting height of 2 to 4m.
-
03
Wire to the panel
Connect the normally-closed output and tamper to a wired panel zone, fitting the selectable EOL resistor for your panel.
-
04
Power and test
Apply 9-16VDC, enable anti-masking and directional detection as needed, then walk-test the curtain before arming.
