Ajax – Wireless technology on guard of family and business:

 

The AJAX alarm system will protect your home and office from theft, fire, water leakage, and excessive energy consumption

 

 

 

How does it work?

Have you ever thought about protecting your family and business with a security alarm? Probably yes, you have. But this probably seemed too difficult, time-consuming and expensive. You need to consult specialists while renovating your premises, lay the necessary cables, and once the installation is finished, connect the sensors and set the alarm to remote control. You need to pay for equipment, for installation and connection to the control panel of a security company. Every month you need to pay a monthly fee for the protection and maintenance of a complex system. If you suddenly forgot to disarm and the alarm went off, you will also have to pay for the false exit of the patrol unit.

With the onset of the pandemic and the global economic crisis, the risk of robberies has increased significantly. The list of other possible disasters involves water leaks and fires which can often be a greater threat than theft.

Fortunately, technology does not stand still – today the choice of security system has been greatly simplified. This article will introduce you to the most reliable of the existing wireless security systems in the world – Ajax Systems. We will explain why this security solution is completely different from the old-fashioned, complicated and expensive systems of the past.

 

 

Protecting the house

Ajax is a wireless security system for a house, apartment or office. It protects against robbery, fire and flooding, manages electrical appliances and allows for connection to the surveillance cameras.

 

magine that Ajax is already installed in your house or apartment. How will it work?

The heart of the security system – hub (Ajax Hub Plus or Ajax Hub 2) will be installed next to your home router. It will use the same outlet, besides hub is the only system device that needs power. Furthermore, even with a complete blackout in the house hub (and the entire security system) will operate up to 16 hours in autonomous mode.

The hub supports up to 4 independent communication channels:

  • Wired Ethernet
  • Wi-Fi (for Hub Plus)
  • WCDMA and GSM (with support for 2 SIM cards)

These channels operate in parallel and supersede each other in case of an emergency. Under no circumstances will the system be left without connection and your house – without reliable protection.

Up to 150 Ajax devices can be connected to the hub (for Ajax Hub Plus). To protect the external perimeter of the premises, we use street motion sensors with protection from masking (Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor). For the second (internal) line of protection inside the house, one can use various additional sensors:

  • opening sensors (Ajax DoorProtect) and opening detector with shock and tilt sensor (Ajax DoorProtect Plus) which are installed on all entrance doors and windows
  • сombined motion and glass break sensor with animal immunity (Ajax CombiProtect) which is installed in rooms with windows
  • simple motion sensor (MotionProtect) or motion sensor with an additional microwave sensor (MotionProtect Plus) installed in the remaining rooms
  • motion sensor with camera for alarm verification with the integrated camera (Ajax MotionCam) installed in the hallway

We offer additional protection from fire and carbon monoxide:

  • temperature-sensitive smoke sensor (Ajax FireProtect) installed in all premises
  • temperature-sensitive smoke and carbon monoxide sensor (Ajax FireProtect Plus) installed in the garage and boiler rooms

…as well as from water leaks using a flood detection sensor in wet areas (Ajax LeaksProtect).

The activation of any sensor under protection leads to an immediate reaction of the hub – it transmits a signal to the owner in milliseconds using push notifications to a smartphone, SMS messages and phone calls, as well as to the monitoring panel of a security company (in case you have activated this option). Furthermore, you can optionally install one or more sirens:

  • wireless home audio siren (Ajax HomeSiren) for premises
  • беспроводная уличная светозвуковая сирена (Ajax StreetSiren) installed on the house facade

You can activate and deactivate the security system in several ways:

  • using a mobile user application (Ajax Security System) for iOS and Android
  • using a wireless keyboard with sensor buttons (Ajax KeyPad)
  • using the remote control (pendant) with the panic button (Ajax SpaceControl)

You will never forget to activate or deactivate your Ajax security system – thanks to built-in reminder function:

  • using the Geofencing technology – a GPS geofence configured in the smartphone
  • or using indoor beacons iBeacon – if the apartment is installed with iBeacon sensors (only for Apple equipment).

And this is hardly a complete list…

 

 

Protecting office / store / warehouse

Business protection has its own specifics. More security system users require more control. In this case, several interesting Ajax features and devices would help:

  • scheduled scenario, when changing the security mode or during an alarm
  • scenario for activated wireless panic button/ script control panel (Button)
  • automation (“smart home”) using a radio-controlled smart outlet with an energy meter (Socket), power remote control switch (WallSwitch), as well as a low-current dry contact remote control relay (Relay)

Scenario examples:

  • scheduled security – automatically activates and deactivate the security mode on a set time
  • perimeter lighting upon penetration
  • imitation of presence – turning on the light and sound to create an illusion of the owners being there
  • automatic doors and shutters – closing roller shutters and door locks at certain times or when security is activated in the room

The Ajax system can be made even more flexible using devices for integration with third-party systems:

  • integration of existing wired sensors (for example, with existing security or fire alarm system, as well as liquid level sensors and gas leaks, thermal relays, etc. automation) in Ajax using the Transmitter module
  • integration of Ajax wireless sensors into third-party wired systems via “dry contacts” using the ocBridge Plus module
  • integration of Ajax wireless sensors into third-party wireless security systems and smart home solutions via the UART interface using the SmartBridge module
  • integration of IP cameras and DVRs in a mobile application (Ajax Security System) via RTSP (Dahua, Hikvision, Safire and Univie cameras are initially integrated into the system) – from 25 (for Hub 2) to 50 cameras (for Hub Plus)

Here is a simple example of using these features in a store: when leaving, an employee closes the store by pressing the Button on the exit. This initiates the scenario in which the WallSwitch power relay turns on the drive for lowering the roller shutters, the system activates the guard mode, and the smart Sockets disconnect electrical appliances from the power grid. The next day, when an employee will open the “point”, the owner will receive a notification that can easily be verified using the surveillance camera in the same application.

 

 

Why opt for AJAX?

Ajax Systems is a combination of stylish design and cutting-edge technology, many of which are the company’s unique know-how.

 

 

Sensors – Design and Technology

The entire range of Ajax equipment is available in two colors – black and white. Ajax sensors look nothing like competitors. While ordinary security sensors mutilate the interior and, as a rule, the owner tries to hide them – there is no need to hide the Ajax sensors.  Whereas the design in Ajax is not just an external “wrapper”. Special mention should be given to the engineering and IT component of the product which is as smart as the design itself!

These are the technologies to be proud of:

  • unique radio technology with advanced protection – Jeweller ensuring two-way communication of sensors with a hub

The Jeweller It operates at frequencies from 868.7 to 869.2 MHz (with no interference from Wi-Fi networks), which in ideal conditions provides a communication range of up to 2000 meters. Jewelers can cover a 4-storied building with walls, ceilings and other barriers. Its bilateral protocol protects the transmitted data with block encryption based on the AES algorithm. Sensor surveying takes 12-300 seconds. The time of the alarm signal receipt does not depend on the sequence of sensor surveying and takes a fixed amount of time – 0.15 seconds. In case of radio interference on jam, the Ajax switches to a free radio frequency (radio frequency hopping), notifying the owner and security company of the situation

  • another proprietary communication protocol Wings is the prospect for further Jeweler development.

Hub 2 and MotionCam use the new Ajax Wings radio protocol to transmit graphic data.  This high-speed protocol for transmitting information was developed based on Jeweler and inherited its best qualities, allowing to transfer not only statuses but also images from the MotionCam sensor camera. Wings guarantees delivery of photos even with an unstable signal and interruptions due to the built-in algorithms for checking image loading.

Moreover, the Ajax sensors support simpler but more critical technologies:

  • all Ajax devices have an intrusion detector, protection against jamming and malfunctions, as well as authentication to protect against forgery of the device
  • all motion sensors have a built-in SmartDetect algorithm and a false alarm protection system LISA which on proper installation and configuration allow the sensor to ignore animals up to 50 centimeters tall and weighing up to 20 kilograms
  • up to seven years of battery life from batteries installed in the sensors
  • easy installation due to SmartBracket mount and attaching the sensor to the hub via QR code from the application

Hub – functionality and Reliability

Today, Ajax Systems has released the second generation of center panels – hubs. This device is far from a simple control panel – as in other alarms. A unique feature of the hub is its own real-time operating system OS Malevich and Linux. Real-time OS protects the system from viruses and intrusions, eliminating any bugs in the system freezes.

Furthermore, the new generation of hubs has a powerful ARM processor which provides additional opportunities to solve critical tasks.

Hub OS Malevich is not just an update of existing software. It is a rethought system that retains the achievements of previous versions of Hub OS, with new functionality and great features for scaling.

Ajax security system allows creating up to 50 (instead of 12) logical rooms for streamlining devices. The number of users has increased from 10 to 50. In previous versions, there were difficulties using Ajax in offices with a large number of employees. Now this issue is resolved.

The new architecture allowed to transfer the control logic of the security system to the hub. Previously, competencies were distributed between the hub and the Ajax Cloud server, now the hub is autonomous in operation. It manages security devices and monitors their performance, communicates directly with the security control panel and with the managing mobile applications through a server. It can also send SMS and make calls. In the event of an attack on the system, it determines the nature of impact and decides whether to resist or sound the alarm.

 

 

Mobile application and cloud technology

Managing the Ajax security system is as easy as using any modern gadget. All you need for this is a smartphone or laptop with Internet access. You can travel, work, leave for a long time, but you will know for sure that everything is fine back home.
