Quick Answer
What does a commercial security system for a small business include?
A complete commercial security system includes Ajax intrusion detection (photo-verifying MotionCam sensors, door/window sensors, keypads, and a hub with dual-SIM cellular backup), AI cloud video surveillance (CCTV Connect — any ONVIF camera, 90-day history, person/vehicle AI, from $29.99 per camera monthly), and Akuvox access control with face, RFID, and PIN entry. In the South Sound, Rivas Technology Group — the region’s only Ajax Systems certified integrator — designs, installs, and supports it all in-house. Professional 24/7 monitoring is $44.99/month, month-to-month, no long-term contracts.

Your Current System Probably Has Gaps You Don’t Know About

Most commercial alarm systems were designed to make noise. Ajax was designed to give you verified proof — so when something happens, you know exactly what it is.

Verified, Not Guessed

MotionCam sends a photo burst to your phone within seconds — you see what triggered the alarm before anyone calls the police.

  • Photo verification on every after-hours motion event
  • Verified alarms earn priority police dispatch
  • No more false-alarm fines from the city
  • Insurance claims backed by verified documentation

Impossible to Silence

Wireless Jeweller protocol with AES-128 encryption, frequency hopping, and anti-jamming — cutting cables does nothing.

  • Hub Hybrid 2: Ethernet + WiFi + dual-SIM cellular, simultaneously
  • Reporting continues through internet and power outages
  • Up to 200 devices on one encrypted hub
  • Tamper detection on every device — nothing fails silently

AI That Cuts the Noise

AI detection distinguishes people and vehicles from animals and shadows — significantly fewer false triggers, alerts worth checking.

  • Person and vehicle classification on cloud cameras
  • License-plate and people-counting analytics available
  • 90-day cloud history — 3× the typical retention
  • Every camera, every location, one pane of glass

Basic Commercial Alarm vs. Verified Security

Sirens that cry wolf get ignored — by staff, by neighbors, and eventually by police response priorities.

Basic Alarm DIY Cameras Ajax + Rivas
Alarm response Noise, then guessing Check footage next morning Photo-verified in ~7 seconds
Line cut / outage System goes dark Recorder offline Dual-SIM cellular keeps reporting
False alarms Fines & deprioritized police Endless motion pings AI + photo verification
Dispatch priority Standard queue None — self-monitored Priority — verified alarms

Photo Verified in Seconds. Not Hours.

When a MotionCam sensor triggers after hours, here's exactly what happens — from first detection to police on the way. Verified alarm, real threat, priority dispatch. No guessing, no false-alarm fines.

Step 01
T + 0s

Motion Detected

A MotionCam sensor picks up movement after hours. Its infrared sensor confirms a human-sized heat signature and signals the hub instantly.

Step 02
T + 7s

Photo Burst to Your Phone

A photo burst pushes to your phone in about seven seconds — you see exactly what tripped the alarm before anyone makes a call.

Step 03
Cellular

Hub Switches to Cellular

If the internet is cut, the Hub falls back to dual-SIM LTE automatically. Reporting never stops — cutting the line does nothing.

Step 04
Station

Verified Alarm Confirmed

With Advanced Monitoring, trained operators review the verified event and confirm it's a real intrusion — not a delivery driver at the wrong door.

Step 05
< 14s

Police Dispatched — Priority

Photo-verified alarms earn priority police dispatch — the fastest response a commercial alarm can get.

Security for the Businesses That Keep the South Sound Running

We work directly with business owners. If you own or operate a commercial space, we can secure it.

Restaurants & Bars

Late-night closings, cash on hand, and staff turnover make restaurants a consistent target. Camera coverage of bar, kitchen, and cash areas; after-hours intrusion with verified alerts; staff entry via keypad or fob.

Retail & Boutiques

Smash-and-grab, employee theft, and after-hours break-ins are real. MotionCam photo verification on the sales floor, AI people-vs-motion detection, and remote arm/disarm from your phone.

Professional Offices

Client data and after-hours access require more than a deadbolt. Akuvox smart entry with access logs, perimeter intrusion protection, and shared access for staff, cleaners, and vendors.

Contractors & Warehouses

Tools and materials stored after hours are high-value targets. Outdoor perimeter MotionCam coverage, cellular backup that reports without internet, and professional monitoring with priority dispatch.

Multi-Tenant & HOA

Common-area surveillance, gate access, and package security on a single system. Akuvox intercoms at gates, cloud surveillance on one pane, and individual tenant credentials.

Medical & Professional Services

HIPAA-sensitive environments and pharmaceutical storage. Restricted-area access control with audit logs, cloud surveillance of entrances and storage, and 24/7 monitoring with rapid dispatch.

Intrusion Protection + Cloud Surveillance. Both. Together.

Most commercial systems do one or the other well. We pair Ajax intrusion with cloud video surveillance — verified alarms in one app, every camera in the cloud, no recorder to fail.

Pillar One

Intrusion Protection

Ajax's Hub Hybrid 2 supports up to 200 devices over the encrypted, frequency-hopping Jeweller protocol. MotionCam delivers photo-verified alerts within seconds.

  • Hub Hybrid 2 — Ethernet, WiFi, and dual-SIM cellular backup, always on
  • MotionCam (PhOD) — photo burst to your phone the moment motion is detected
  • DoorProtect & GlassProtect — instant tamper and break detection at every entry
  • Outdoor perimeter sensors — catch intrusion at the property line
  • Keypads and fobs — staff arm and disarm at the door, no phone needed
  • Multi-user access — owner, manager, and staff permission levels

Pillar Two

Cloud Video Surveillance

For commercial sites we lead with the cloud. CCTV Connect runs your cameras on a secure cloud platform — any ONVIF camera, including ones you already own — from $29.99 per camera per month, all-in.

  • Works with any ONVIF camera — new installs or retrofit of existing cameras
  • 90-day cloud history on every camera — 3× the typical plan, stored off-site
  • AI Smart Motion — person/vehicle classification, license-plate and people-counting analytics
  • Every camera, every location on one pane of glass — from any device
  • Premium 4K cameras with full-color night vision when you need new hardware
  • Nothing on-site to fail — no NVR, no drives; local recording available on request

Business Security FAQs

Do you offer cloud video surveillance?

Yes — for commercial sites we lead with it. CCTV Connect runs your cameras on a secure cloud platform that works with any ONVIF camera, including ones you already own. You get AI smart-motion detection, 90-day cloud history, license-plate and people analytics, and every site on one pane — from $29.99 per camera per month, with no on-site recorder to fail. On-site NVR is available when local recording is specifically required.

Do I need professional monitoring for my business?

Every Ajax system includes real-time self-monitoring through the app at no monthly cost — push alerts, photo verification, and remote arm/disarm. For round-the-clock coverage, Advanced Monitoring ($44.99/month) adds 24/7 central station monitoring with verified dispatch — better suited to businesses with high-value inventory, multiple locations, or owners who travel frequently. It's month-to-month with no long-term contract, and you own the hardware.

What makes Ajax different from the alarm system we already have?

Most commercial alarm systems detect and alert — that's it. Ajax adds photo verification via MotionCam, so you know within seconds whether an alarm is real. The Jeweller wireless protocol uses AES-128 encryption with frequency hopping and anti-jamming, making it significantly harder to defeat than traditional wired or wireless systems. And everything — intrusion, cameras, and intercoms — runs in a single app instead of separate platforms.

Can multiple staff members access the system?

Yes. Ajax supports multi-user access with different permission levels. Owners have full control, managers can arm/disarm and receive alerts, and you can issue temporary access codes for cleaning crews or vendors. For physical access control, Akuvox intercoms support individual RFID credentials, PIN codes, face recognition, and time-limited QR codes — all with a complete audit log.

What happens if our internet goes down?

The Ajax Hub Hybrid 2 communicates over Ethernet, WiFi, and dual SIM cellular simultaneously. If your internet fails, the hub automatically falls back to cellular — sensors keep reporting, alerts keep sending, and central station monitoring (if subscribed) continues without interruption. This is a key advantage over systems that go dark the moment your router goes offline.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Advanced Monitoring is month-to-month. The hardware you purchase is yours — there's no equipment rental or lock-in. You can start, pause, or cancel monitoring at any time.

What areas do you serve for commercial security installation?
We serve Tacoma, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, University Place, Bonney Lake, and the greater South Sound region of Washington State. If your business is in Pierce County or the surrounding area, contact us and we'll confirm coverage.
