Ajax Systems Security in Chicago

About Ajax Systems

Ajax Systems is a European security technology company founded in 2011 in Kyiv, Ukraine. In just over a decade, the company grew from a startup into one of the largest wireless security manufacturers in Europe, with products sold in over 130 countries and protecting more than 2.5 million users worldwide. Ajax designs and manufactures its own hardware in-house, with R&D and production facilities in Ukraine — a distinctive advantage in an industry where many brands simply rebrand Chinese OEM equipment.

The company is best known for its professional-grade wireless alarm platform that combines the reliability and range of proprietary radio protocol (Jeweller) with modern cloud-based management and a polished mobile app experience. Ajax won multiple international awards including the Expoprotection Award, Detektor International Award, and numerous product design recognitions.

What Makes Ajax Different

Ajax stands apart from traditional alarm brands in several important ways:

Proprietary radio technology (Jeweller protocol). Unlike systems that rely on standard Wi-Fi or Z-Wave, Ajax developed its own encrypted radio protocol that reaches up to 2,000 meters in open space with virtually no interference. Every transmission is encrypted with a floating key, and the hub communicates with each device every 12 seconds to verify connection — if a device goes offline or is tampered with, the system knows within seconds.

Photo verification. Ajax MotionCam detectors include a built-in camera that captures a photo series when motion is triggered. This eliminates the single biggest problem in alarm monitoring — false alarms. Monitoring stations and property owners can instantly see what triggered the alarm before dispatching a response.

Professional cloud management. The Ajax PRO Desktop platform gives integrators and monitoring companies centralized management across every installed system. Remote diagnostics, firmware updates, configuration changes, and real-time system health monitoring all happen through a single dashboard — similar to how Brivo approaches cloud-managed access control.

No subscription lock-in for basic operation. The Ajax system works locally without mandatory cloud subscriptions. The hub connects to a monitoring station via LAN, Wi-Fi, or cellular, and basic app control and notifications are included. Professional monitoring is optional and works through standard monitoring station protocols.

Top Ajax Products

Ajax Hub 2 Plus

The flagship central panel that manages up to 200 connected devices. Features dual SIM cellular, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity for maximum uptime. Built-in photo verification support, OS Malevich real-time operating system, and up to 25 hours of battery backup. This is the brain of every Ajax installation.

Ajax MotionProtect Outdoor

Outdoor PIR motion detector with dual-sensor design that distinguishes between human movement and animals, wind, or environmental triggers. Rated for -25°C to +60°C — suitable for Chicago’s climate extremes. Anti-masking tamper detection alerts if someone attempts to block or spray the sensor.

Ajax MotionCam (PhOD)

Indoor motion detector with photo-on-demand capability. When triggered, it captures a series of photos and sends them to the monitoring app within seconds. This single feature has transformed alarm response — instead of blind alarm signals, responders see exactly what’s happening.

Ajax DoorProtect Plus

Wireless magnetic contact sensor with shock and tilt detection. Monitors doors and windows for opening, impact, and angle changes. The “Plus” model adds accelerometer-based impact detection — it knows if someone is trying to break through the door, not just open it.

Ajax KeyPad Plus

Wireless keypad supporting cards, key fobs, and PIN code entry. Encrypted credential reading prevents cloning — a significant upgrade from traditional alarm keypads. Supports user-specific codes so the system knows who armed or disarmed.

Ajax StreetSiren DoubleDeck

Outdoor siren with customizable front panel, 113 dB output, and LED strobe. Tamper-protected housing with its own battery backup — if someone tries to rip it off the wall, it keeps sounding. Designed for visible deterrence at building exteriors.

Ajax in the Chicago Market

Ajax has been gaining traction in the US market since establishing its US distribution presence. For Chicago properties, Ajax offers several compelling advantages:

Wireless installation minimizes disruption. In existing Chicago buildings — especially older commercial properties, historic structures, and occupied spaces — running alarm wiring is expensive and disruptive. Ajax’s wireless platform eliminates most wiring, dramatically reducing installation time and cost.

Multi-site management. Property managers overseeing multiple Chicago locations can monitor all Ajax systems from a single PRO Desktop dashboard — see arm/disarm status, alarm events, system health, and battery levels across every property.

Integration with existing security. Ajax works alongside wired camera systems and access control. When an Ajax alarm triggers, the event can be correlated with Hanwha Vision or Axis camera footage for rapid incident verification.

Construction site security. Ajax’s battery-powered, wireless architecture makes it ideal for temporary deployments at Chicago construction sites where permanent wiring isn’t practical but intrusion detection is essential.
