- Seamless compatibility:Because the SmartBracket is an OEM accessory, installers can expect a precise fit with the MotionProtect Curtains mounting points, avoiding the alignment issues that sometimes occur with generic brackets.
- Maintains tamper detection:The included perforated tamper contact area ensures that removing the bracket triggers the detectors tamper alarm—critical for maintaining system integrity and preventing blind spots created by unauthorized removal.
- Faster installations and servicing:Tool-assisted mounting allows the detector to be secured without opening the housing, reducing installation time and minimizing the chance of damaging internal components.
- Cost-effective spare part:With a suggested retail price of around $6.50, the SmartBracket is a low-cost spare that reduces equipment downtime and inventory expense for service providers.
Use cases and scenarios where the SmartBracket excels
The SmartBracket is well suited to several real-world scenarios encountered by installers, security system resellers and maintenance teams. Its design and price point make it a practical choice across a range of deployments.
In new alarm installations, using OEM mounting hardware streamlines the setup process. The SmartBrackets tool-assisted mounting reduces installer time on-site, enabling faster handover and consistent results across multiple installations.
Service technicians carrying a set of commonly used spare parts will find the SmartBracket an ideal inclusion. If a detectors bracket is damaged during maintenance or the original bracket is missing, the SmartBracket provides a quick in-field replacement that restores full tamper protection without the need to swap detectors.
Resellers can include the SmartBracket with MotionProtect Curtain units in premium bundles or sell it as an optional accessory to customers who require a specific color match or extra mounting hardware for multi-detector deployments.
For temporary or semi-permanent installations—such as short-term retail pop-ups or rental properties where owners want to preserve the original detector housing—the SmartBracket allows secure mounting while simplifying removal and reinstallation at the end of the rental period.
Comparisons with similar products on the market
When assessing mounting solutions for PIR curtain detectors, buyers typically consider three categories: OEM-specific brackets, universal or generic brackets, and third-party custom mounts. The Ajax SmartBracket sits squarely in the OEM bracket category and offers specific advantages and trade-offs versus the alternatives.
- Fit and alignment:OEM brackets like the SmartBracket are manufactured to the detectors mounting geometry, ensuring easy attachment and correct orientation. Generic brackets may require modification or additional hardware to achieve the same result.
- Tamper functionality:The SmartBracket preserves tamper contact features; many universal brackets do not include this and may disable tamper reporting unless additional wiring or components are used.
- Aesthetics and finish:The black SmartBracket is color-matched to the MotionProtect Curtain, offering a more professional appearance than many off-the-shelf alternatives.
- Price:Generic brackets can sometimes be cheaper, but the low price of the SmartBracket makes the OEM advantage more accessible.
- Specialized applications:Third-party or custom mounts can offer additional flexibility (adjustable angles, reinforced materials, etc.) for unusual installations. However, they may require more installation time and can complicate warranty or support scenarios.
- Reliability and support:Using the OEM bracket simplifies troubleshooting and support with Ajax Systems, since the accessory is part of the same product ecosystem.
For most professional installers and facilities maintenance teams working with Ajax MotionProtect Curtain detectors, the SmartBracket is the logical choice: it combines a precise fit, tamper-aware design and low cost. Choose a third-party or custom solution only when the installation requires special mounting geometry or materials not offered by the OEM part.
Customer testimonials and installer feedback
There are no official customer review excerpts provided for this specific SmartBracket SKU. However, typical feedback themes from professional installers and service teams using OEM mounting accessories like the SmartBracket commonly include:
- "Saves time on installs and reduces call-backs" — installers appreciate being able to mount the detector without disassembly.
- "Keeps tamper protection intact" — field technicians note that preserving tamper contacts prevents unintended alarm issues after maintenance.
- "Affordable spare to keep in the van" — the low price point makes it practical to carry several spares for rapid replacement.
These representative points reflect the types of operational benefits reported when OEM mounting hardware is used instead of improvised alternatives. For verified customer reviews, check reseller sites, installer forums or Ajax Systems channels where end-users and professionals may post feedback specific to part 21673.36.BL.
- Compatibility is limited to the MotionProtect Curtain; it is not a universal mount for other MotionProtect variants.
- Technical specifics such as material composition and exact dimensions are sometimes requested by large integrators and are not included in the basic product listing.
- The product is an accessory-only item with no warranty information listed (warranty: 0), so site owners should account for this in procurement and spares planning.
Conclusion: Why the Ajax SmartBracket is a great choice
For installers, service teams and security system resellers working with Ajax MotionProtect Curtain detectors, the Ajax SmartBracket Mount (Black, part 21673.36.BL) represents a small but meaningful investment in installation efficiency and system integrity. Its OEM fit, tamper-compatible design and low cost make it ideal as a spare part in maintenance kits, an accessory bundled with new installations, or a convenient replacement when the original bracket is damaged or missing.
