Intrusion Protection
Ajax Systems sets the standard for intrusion protection with its Baseline product line, featuring wireless devices that safeguard residential and commercial properties. Smart indoor and outdoor Ajax devices work cohesively to form a unified force, providing top-tier protection against potential intrusion. This not only ensures security but also delivers a best-in-class user experience.
Features of a complete set of wireless security systems
Depending on what task the alarm installation solves, its equipment will be determined. The optimal set of an integrated wireless security system consists of the following devices:
Control panel of the security system.
Accumulator, battery, additional batteries.
Motion sensors, window and door opening sensors, glass break sensors.
Sirens.
Remote controls and keypads for arming and disarming the premises.
Relay.
For large rooms — signal repeaters.
Some wireless security systems are equipped with a standard camera to fully monitor the situation at the protected facility. The Ajax security system also allows you to connect third-party video surveillance systems.
Alarm sensors transmit alarm signals to the central unit at a sufficiently high speed, and it, in turn, instantly notifies users of the security system about the incident.

How the Ajax wireless security system works
Wireless alarm system from Ajax differs from other manufacturers in the principle of operation of the system and important details, which together provide high-quality security of the facility:
The security system from Ajax uses energy-efficient radio protocols with a wide range
For data transmission, Ajax wireless signaling uses its own secure radio protocols Jeweler and Wings. The first one is for communication of sensors and elements of the security system with the control panel, and the second one is for supporting the sending of photo-verification of alarms. The range of the devices thanks to the protocols is up to 2000 m in the absence of obstacles.
Ajax wireless security system devices are able to operate on one pre-installed battery without replacement from 4 to 7 years. Two-way communication allows you to track the status of system elements (charge level, etc.) in a mobile application. The user will be informed about the need to replace the battery, as well as about the loss of communication with the interrogated element of the system.
Viruses resistance
Ajax wireless burglar alarm belongs to the class of closed systems and uses proprietary software. Therefore, the appearance of viruses in the security system is completely excluded.
Availability of several communication channels and effective counteraction to signal jamming
Some consumers do not trust wireless security systems due to the myth that it is very easy to jam the radio channel with special equipment. And without radio communication, the alarm system is deprived of the ability to resist intruders. But thanks to modern technology, wireless-type security systems can respond to jamming in the following ways:
The control panel of the Ajax security system is responsible both for managing the entire system and for communicating the system with the cloud, the user and the security company (to which systems can be connected if desired). Each such control panel, depending on the model, is equipped with at least two communication channels, for example, Hub 2 Plus is equipped with four communication channels (Ethernet, Wi-Fi, two SIM card slots) and works with LTE. This principle of operation allows you to connect the device to two different Internet providers via Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and to two cellular networks. This means that when one of the communication channels is jammed, the system switches to backup channels, after which it informs users and the security company about the jamming attempt. Automatic switching between channels takes seconds.
Laconic appearance
One of the important criteria for choosing a security system is the appearance of devices. The advantage will be in the system that will not stand out in the interior and attract a lot of attention. Ajax belongs to such systems due to its laconic design and the ability to choose colors (black or white) in most devices.
Immunity of alarm devices to animals
Ajax wireless motion detectors can be used even in rooms with pets. The devices do not respond to pets weighing up to 20 kg and up to 50 cm high. Sensors with alarm photo verification will also allow you to assess the situation at the facility when triggered, and understand the cause of the alarm.
Wireless convenience
Wireless solutions are easy to install and configure, high-tech, reliable. Ajax-based security systems resist signal jamming and provide a protected facility with a high level of protection, which is not inferior in reliability to wired counterparts. Such a security system is able to protect the premises not only from intruders, but will also become a reliable basis for an integrated security and automation system.
Advantages of photo verification
Less false calls for fire brigades
According to statistics, almost half of fire alarms are false. Visual verification of fire alarms has already become a worldwide practice. MotionCam automatically takes the photos of the premice when the FireProtect detectors trigger. The fire brigade monitoring station can receive the photos and assess the situation in seconds.
Less concern
Up to 70% of false alarms happen when disarming the security system. With MotionCam, system users and monitoring company operators can verify in seconds whether an alarm is real and respond accordingly.
More security
Both system users and a rapid response team need to clearly understand what happens on the scene in case of an alarm. MotionCam shows how many intruders are armed and whether they are still in the room. This will help a security company patrol prepare, and the users avoid danger.
Evidence in a smartphone
A series of animated photos provide the law enforcers with the description of intruders, no time wasted. MotionCam will capture them even in complete darkness, thanks to the IR backlight. The chances of catching burglars in the act increase.
Loved ones and valuables are under care
In case of any doubts, the system users can check what is happening on the spot. There is no need to wait for an alarm. Just open the app, select the detector, and see the situation at home in seconds.
Intellect against false alarms
Ajax have combined special optics with a software filter for false alarms in motion detectors. Along with a professional installation, it gives high detection accuracy.
Special lens
The pattern of the Fresnel lens sections is designed so that the diagrams of the infrared radiation of a human, an animal, and thermal noise have significant differences. Large sections of the lens capture radiation at the level of the head and torso of an adult. Smaller sections make the diagram more detailed. The MotionCam lens provides the detector with accurate information about the thermal object in the detection zone and the nature of its movement.
Filter for thermal interferences
The detector instantly analyzes the thermal diagram from the sensor: the infrared radiation intensity, the heat spot size, the motion speed, the time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters.
Ajax engineers have analyzed thousands of IR sensor triggerings caused by humans, animals, and thermal interference and developed SmartDetect. The software algorithm finds false alarm markers instantly and with high accuracy. As a result, the detector accurately responds to a human and does not bother the user with false alarms.
Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is a software mechanism keeping the thermal diagram contrast even if the ambient temperature is close to the temperature of the human body.
With each ambient temperature measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensor data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory. The detector is effective over the entire operating temperature range.
Sensitivity level
With the sensitivity setting, the detector adapts to the conditions of a particular room, considering possible thermal interference or pets. Changing the sensitivity setting affects the markers by which false alarms are filtered.
With low sensitivity, the detector is less likely to respond even to an active pet. And with high sensitivity, it will raise the alarm in case of any motion in the detection zone.
Sensitivity is configured in the Ajax app both on-site and remotely.
Privacy as a top priority
Strict permission distribution
The special menu in the Ajax app helps accurately adjust access to visual data for users and security company operators: who and when can send a request for a photo, who can view the received pictures and streams from integrated surveillance cameras.
Encryption and GDPR
Graphic data is securely protected by encryption at each step of transmission and storage. Only hub users can access its virtual storage on Ajax Cloud and view photos taken by MotionCam detectors. The Ajax Cloud is located on geographically distributed servers in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.
Detailed event log
Only users with access rights can view the photos in the system event log.
