The Paradox ADM12M is a compact wireless motion sensor designed to detect movement using three-axis accelerometer technology. Unlike a standard PIR motion detector that monitors movement across a room, the ADM12M is designed to detect movement or vibration of the object it is installed on, making it suitable for protecting specific assets, fixtures, doors, windows, cabinets, safes, gates, drawers, and other items that may be moved, opened, disturbed, or tampered with.
Designed for seamless integration with compatible Paradox M-Series alarm systems, the ADM12M provides secure two-way wireless communication with frequency and encryption hopping. Its compact profile, long-life battery operation, temperature sensing, and adjustable sensitivity make it a flexible option for installations where discreet asset or movement detection is required.

🎯 Best Used For
The Paradox ADM12M is ideal for protecting assets and areas where traditional room-based PIR detection may not be suitable. It is well suited for doors, windows, safes, cabinets, cupboards, drawers, gates, storage areas, equipment, display items, and other objects where movement or vibration detection is required.
Its compact wireless design makes it particularly useful for discreet alarm installations, asset protection, rental properties, small business security, and locations where running cabling is difficult or undesirable.
🔗 Part of the Zero Dawn Security M-Series Ecosystem
The ADM12M is designed to work with compatible Paradox M-Series alarm systems. For a complete wireless security solution, consider the M25 Wireless Alarm Starter Kit, which includes an M-Series control panel, keypad, remote control, motion detection, door protection, and outdoor siren functionality in a single package.
