Default low voltage PIR trigger setup for IP cctv cam

One of the IP cams has 2 channels for I/O - so I'm pondering how to
send a signal to it to take a snap when something goes across the
cam;s field of view.

PIR would be perfect but a very narrow "beam" is required to make
sure I get the subject in the centre of the frame... and the IP cam
is not going to be happy with 240v up its I/O - so ???

low voltage PIR? what from where?

a normal 240v PIR and some sort of a relay?

something else?


Normal 12V PIR detector?
