The Feeling, First

Security You Notice
Only When It Matters.

The best security system is the one you almost never think about — until the one moment you need to know, for certain, what's happening at home. That's the experience Ajax was built to deliver.

You Know — You Don't Guess

When something trips the alarm, a photo lands on your phone in seconds. No more bolting awake at 3am wondering if it's an intruder or the cat. You see exactly what happened and decide calmly.

Fewer False Alarms

AI detection tells people apart from pets and passing cars, so the alarm only speaks up when it should. No nuisance trips, no neighbor fatigue, no crying-wolf with the monitoring station.

You Own It. No Contract.

The hardware is yours from day one. Monitoring is month-to-month — stay because it's good, not because you're locked in. No leased equipment, no early-termination traps.

Why It Disappears

Protection That Respects
How Your Home Looks.

Most security gear is an eyesore bolted onto a finished home. Ajax was designed by people who care how it looks on the wall — and engineered so installing it doesn't mean tearing your house apart.

01 · Wireless

No Torn-Up Walls

Fully wireless on the Jeweller protocol — no chasing cables through finished walls, no destructive retrofit. Clean to install in an existing home, effortless to expand later.

02 · Industrial Design

Hardware You Won't Hide

European industrial design in black or white, with finishes meant to sit comfortably in a beautiful room. Detectors, keypads, and sirens that look intentional — not institutional.

03 · One App

Everything, In One Place

Intrusion, cameras, fire, flood, and access — all in a single elegant app, or built right into Control4. One interface for the whole home, not a drawer full of separate remotes.

The Engineering Behind the Calm
Beautiful and effortless is easy to claim. Here's the engineering that makes it true — and genuinely hard to defeat.
Ajax Defense Breakdown

Four Common Attacks.
Four Engineered Defeats.

These are the methods most commonly used to defeat alarm systems — and exactly how Ajax neutralizes each one. Not as exceptions or fallbacks, but by design.

Attack Vector 01
Radio Frequency Jamming
Defeated
The Attack A cheap RF jammer floods one frequency to drown out wireless sensors and silence the system.
Ajax Response Jeweller hops across multiple frequencies instantly. The jamming attempt itself is detected, logged, and triggers an alert to your monitoring station.
Attack Vector 02
Signal Cloning / Spoofing
Defeated
The Attack A cloned device broadcasts a copied hub signal, attempting to impersonate a trusted sensor.
Ajax Response Every device carries a unique hardware ID and AES encryption with a key that changes each packet. Unknown IDs are rejected and the attempt is flagged.
Attack Vector 03
Network Kill (Cut Internet)
Defeated
The Attack The intruder cuts the internet or phone line, expecting the alarm to go silent and stop reporting.
Ajax Response The Hub 2 Plus runs Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and dual-SIM cellular at once. Sever one path and three remain active — reporting never stops.
Attack Vector 04
Mains Power Loss
Defeated
The Attack Grid power is cut to the home, expecting the security system to die with it.
Ajax Response Battery backup engages automatically and the system keeps running. Detectors run for years on internal batteries regardless of grid power.
Ajax defeats all four scenarios by design — not as exceptions or fallbacks. Every layer is engineered to assume the previous one will be attacked.
The Problem

Most Alarms React.
Ajax Verifies.

A determined intruder doesn't need sophisticated tools — just basic knowledge of how consumer alarm systems fail. Ajax was built by people who studied those failures and engineered around every one of them.

✕   Legacy Alarm Failures
  • Single-frequency wireless — jammable with a $30 device
  • No visual verification — police deprioritize unconfirmed alarms
  • Basic or no encryption — signals can be spoofed or cloned
  • Single communication path — cut the internet and it goes silent
  • No tamper detection — devices can be removed undetected
  • Consumer OS vulnerable to known software exploits
✓   The Ajax Engineering Response
  • Jeweller protocol — multi-frequency hopping, unjammable by design
  • MotionCam PhOD — photo verification delivered in under 9 seconds
  • AES encryption with a dynamic floating key — changes every packet
  • Five simultaneous paths: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, 4G LTE
  • Full-system tamper detection — every device, every enclosure
  • OS Malevich — proprietary RTOS, immune to consumer OS exploits
Technical Deep Dive

8 Engineering Decisions
That Change Everything

These are not marketing claims. These are specific technical choices Ajax made that make the system genuinely difficult to defeat — and why each one matters for a Washington homeowner.

01

Jeweller — The Unjammable Protocol

Standard wireless systems broadcast on a fixed frequency. A jammer from Amazon can silence them in seconds. Ajax's Jeweller protocol operates across multiple frequencies simultaneously — if jamming is detected on one channel, the system instantly hops to another and alerts your monitoring station. The jamming attempt itself triggers an alarm. Range: up to 6,550 feet device-to-device.

Protocol Range
6,550ft
Device-to-device. Jamming attempt triggers immediate alert.
02

AES Encryption — Dynamic Floating Key

Every transmission uses AES block cipher encryption with a floating key that changes with every single packet. Brute-force interception is computationally infeasible. Every device carries a unique hardware identifier — signals cannot be replicated, spoofed, or replayed. There is no known method to clone an Ajax system.

Encryption
AES-128
Dynamic key. Changes every transmission. No known cloning method.
03

MotionCam PhOD — Visual Proof on Demand

Washington State requires verified response before law enforcement will prioritize dispatch. Ajax's MotionCam PhOD captures an encrypted photo series the moment motion is detected and delivers it to your monitoring station in under 9 seconds — even on degraded signal. Operators see exactly what triggered the alarm. Real evidence. Faster response.

Photo Delivery
<9s
Encrypted. Delivered to monitoring station and your phone simultaneously.
04

Five-Path Communication — No Single Point of Failure

The Hub 2 Plus communicates via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE simultaneously — not as fallbacks, but as active parallel paths. Internet cut? Already on cellular. Phone line severed? Already redundant. The hub polls every connected device every 12 seconds. If any device stops responding for any reason, you are notified immediately.

Comm Paths
5
Active simultaneously. Device polling every 12 seconds.
05

OS Malevich — Purpose-Built RTOS

Consumer security hubs run on commodity operating systems with the same attack surface as smartphones and routers. Ajax hubs run OS Malevich, a proprietary real-time operating system developed exclusively for Ajax hardware. It is immune to consumer OS exploits, receives automatic over-the-air firmware updates multiple times per year. Your system improves without any action on your part.

OS Type
RTOS
Proprietary. OTA updates. Zero shared attack surface with consumer OS.
06

Full-System Tamper Detection

Every Ajax device — every detector, hub, siren, and keypad — is equipped with a tamper sensor that triggers an immediate alert if the device is opened, covered, removed, or physically interfered with. Outdoor sirens include an accelerometer that detects dismantling attempts. Even opening the hub enclosure sends an alert. There is no silent way to defeat a properly installed Ajax system.

Tamper Coverage
100%
Every device. Every enclosure. Accelerometer in outdoor sirens.
07

Up to 7-Year Battery Life

Ajax devices run on internal batteries — not your home power supply — so they operate through power outages. The Jeweller protocol was engineered specifically for energy efficiency. Detector batteries last up to 7 years under normal use. When any battery approaches a critical level, the system alerts you automatically. A dead battery is never a vulnerability you don't know about.

Battery Life
7 yrs
Typical. Auto-alert at critical level. Operates through power outages.
08

EN 50131 Grade 3 — Bank-Level Certification

Grade 3 is the European standard for systems designed to defeat skilled attackers using electronic countermeasures and portable tools — the highest rating for residential and light commercial. Most consumer systems are not Grade 2. Ajax devices are certified Grade 3. The same specification required for banks and government facilities worldwide.

Certification

For Builders & Design Partners

Spec Security in the Design Phase.

The best time to plan security is before the drywall goes up — not as a bolt-on after the homeowner moves in. We partner with builders, architects, and designers to integrate Ajax during design, so protection is part of the home rather than an afterthought stuck to it.

01

Wireless preserves the architecture

No conduit runs, no destructive retrofit, no compromises to a finished design. Ajax adapts to the home — the home doesn't adapt to it.

02

Designed to be seen — or not

Finishes in black or white that suit a high-end interior, placed deliberately. Security that complements the space instead of cluttering it.

03

One integrated system at handover

Ajax, Control4, lighting, shades, and network delivered as a single commissioned package — a turnkey smart home your client controls from day one.

We evaluated every security platform before deciding what to build our practice around. Ajax was the only one we'd put in our own home — for the design, the reliability, and the quiet confidence it gives the people we install it for.
Common Questions

Why Ajax — Answered

Is Ajax better than Ring or SimpliSafe?

For serious protection, yes. Ajax is certified EN 50131 Grade 3 — engineered to resist skilled attackers and electronic countermeasures — while Ring and SimpliSafe are not. Ajax adds multi-frequency anti-jamming, AES-128 encryption with a key that changes every packet, five simultaneous communication paths, full-system tamper detection, and native Control4 integration. Ring and SimpliSafe are capable consumer products, but they are not built to the same security standard.

Does Ajax still work if the internet or power goes out?

Yes. The Hub 2 Plus communicates over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and dual-SIM cellular at the same time — cut the internet and it keeps reporting over cellular. Every device runs on internal batteries, so a power outage doesn't disarm your home. Detector batteries last up to 7 years, and the system alerts you automatically before any battery runs low.

Can Ajax integrate with my Control4 smart home?

Yes. As a Control4 Gold Dealer, we integrate Ajax intrusion directly into Control4 using the Chowmain driver — arm and disarm from any Control4 interface, and trigger lighting, shades, locks, and cameras automatically from security events. Your security becomes part of the home rather than a separate system.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. You own the Ajax hardware from day one, and professional monitoring is month-to-month — no multi-year lock-in and no leased equipment. You stay because the system is good, not because you're trapped in a contract.

Is Ajax hard to install in an existing home?

No. Ajax is fully wireless on the Jeweller protocol, so there's no chasing cables through finished walls and no destructive retrofit. That makes it clean to install in an existing home and easy to expand later — which is also why it's ideal to spec during new construction. See our smart security services →
