Capture Q20

Capture Q20 is a Grade 2 quad PIR motion detector for stable detection across typical internal spaces.

It is designed for installers who want a stronger PIR option than a standard dual element detector, while still keeping the system simple and suitable for everyday residential and commercial applications.

With 20m by 90 degree coverage, quad element pyro sensing and optional PetWise mode, it gives installers a dependable detector for general areas where consistency matters.

Key Details:

  • Coverage: 20m by 90 degree volumetric coverage
  • Technology: Quad element pyro
  • Mode: Optional PetWise mode
  • Certification: EN50131-2-2 Grade 2 and UK PD6662:2017 Grade 2
  • Colour Options: White and Black
  • Part Codes: White AKC-0001, Black AKC-0006

Capture Q20

Quad PIR for more confident coverage

Capture Q20 is the detector to choose when the site still suits PIR detection, but the installer wants a stronger sensing option than the P15.

The quad element pyro helps support more stable detection across suitable spaces, while the 20m by 90 degree coverage gives more reach than the standard 15m PIR option.

A good fit for larger standard rooms

Q20 works well in general internal areas where the layout is not especially difficult, but the space is larger or the installer wants extra confidence in the detection layer.

That might include offices, stock areas, larger domestic rooms, small commercial units and spaces where the system needs to feel stable after handover.

Not a cure for every environment

Capture Q20 is a stronger PIR, but it is still a PIR.

If the space has major environmental movement, temperature change, airflow issues or machinery, a dual technology detector such as Capture D20 may be the better choice. The right detector should always match the room, not just the panel.

When Capture Q20 makes sense

Capture Q20 is the right choice when the site needs Grade 2 PIR detection with more reach and quad element stability.

If the space is smaller and predictable, Capture P15 may be enough. If the location is more challenging, Capture D20 is likely to be the better fit. If cabling is not practical, Capture Q20-W provides the wireless option.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Capture Q20 fit best?

Capture Q20 fits best in general internal spaces where the installer wants stable Grade 2 PIR detection with more reach than the P15.

How is Capture Q20 different from Capture P15?

Capture Q20 uses a quad element pyro and provides 20m by 90 degree coverage. Capture P15 uses a dual element pyro with 15m by 90 degree coverage. Choose Q20 when the space needs more reach or a stronger PIR option.

Is Capture Q20 suitable for commercial sites?

Yes, where the environment is suitable for PIR detection. It is a good choice for offices, retail spaces and general commercial interiors that do not require dual technology detection.

When should I choose Capture D20 instead?

Choose Capture D20 when the environment is more likely to cause nuisance activations, such as areas affected by airflow, temperature changes or operational movement. D20 adds microwave detection for tougher spaces.

Is there a wireless version of Capture Q20?

Yes. Capture Q20-W provides wireless placement flexibility for upgrades, takeovers and installations where cabling would be disruptive.
