Capture P15

The everyday PIR choice

Capture P15 is the detector to use when the site needs standard internal motion detection and the room does not have unusual environmental challenges.

It works well in general rooms, offices, small commercial spaces, residential interiors and other predictable areas where a clean Grade 2 PIR is the right level of protection.

Designed for repeatable installs

The value of Capture P15 is consistency.

Installers need a detector that can be specified again and again across typical internal spaces. With 15m by 90 degree coverage and a 1.5m to 3m mounting height, it gives a practical coverage profile for common wall mount positions.

PetWise where appropriate

Capture P15 includes optional PetWise mode, which can be useful on suitable residential installs.

That said, pet tolerant setup is not a shortcut. If the customer has active pets, stair access, climbable furniture or heat sources in the protected area, the installer still needs to choose the detector position carefully or consider a dedicated pet tolerant model.

When Capture P15 makes sense

Capture P15 is the right choice for standard Grade 2 PIR coverage in typical indoor spaces.

If the site needs more stable quad PIR detection, Capture Q20 may be a better fit. If the environment is more challenging, Capture D20 gives dual technology detection. If cabling is not practical, Capture P15-W is the wireless version.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Capture P15 fit best?

Capture P15 fits best in standard internal spaces where PIR detection is appropriate and the environment is predictable. It is a good baseline detector for homes, offices and general commercial rooms.

When should I avoid using a standard PIR?

Avoid a standard PIR when the area has pets, strong heat movement, draughts, machinery, reflective surfaces or other conditions that could make detection less stable. In those cases, consider PET, Q20 or D20 depending on the issue.

How is Capture P15 different from Capture Q20?

Capture P15 uses a dual element pyro and provides 15m by 90 degree coverage. Capture Q20 uses a quad element pyro and extends to 20m by 90 degree coverage, making it the better choice where the installer wants a stronger PIR option.

Can Capture P15 be used in pet homes?

It has optional PetWise mode, but pet tolerance depends heavily on placement and the environment. If pets are a main part of the brief, Capture PET may be the more suitable dedicated option.

Is there a wireless version?

Yes. Capture P15-W is the wireless version and is better suited to takeovers, extensions and finished interiors where cabling would be disruptive.
