Paradox NV5-W3C High-Performance Infrared Motion Detector

The Paradox NV5-W3C (NV5) is an official entry-level, high-performance hardwired passive infrared (PIR) motion detector engineered for residential and commercial security installations. Driven by Paradox’s ENVIRONS digital signal processing and a specialized hybrid Cylindrical-Spherical Fresnel lens, it provides fast, uniform 10m X 10m (33 ft X 33 ft) coverage at a 102° viewing angle. Featuring Super Creep Zone optics, Automatic Temperature Compensation, and advanced EMI/RFI rejection, it delivers exceptional false-alarm immunity and precise intrusion detection.

Key System Features & Functionality

• Hybrid Cylindrical-Spherical Fresnel Optics: Combines 3D optical lens technology for equal detection sensitivity across short, medium, and long-range detection zones.

• Super Creep Zone Downward Optics: Features integrated bottom optical segments to detect targets moving directly beneath the sensor.

• Auto Pulse Signal Processing (APSP): Digital processing algorithms analyze signal timing and amplitude to prevent false alarms from environmental drafts.

• Automatic Temperature Compensation: Dynamic gain adjustment adapts to fluctuating room temperatures as ambient heat nears human body temperature.

• High EMI / RFI Immunity: Metal shielding and filter components protect internal logic against radio frequencies, mobile phones, and electrical noise.

• Solid-State NC Relay & Tamper Protection: Long-lasting solid-state alarm relay paired with a cover anti-tamper switch for uninterrupted system security.
