- Remote control and real-time notifications
- Backup battery and advanced sabotage protection
Plus, it integrates perfectly with Ajax Cloud Storage and NVR for immediate event-based video retrieval.
Rob Harman highlighted its significance at the expo:
“We designed it for those critical indoor spaces where reliability is a must, but you still want seamless integration with the full Ajax system.”
Both cameras run on JetSparrow, Ajax’s proprietary ultra-fast video transmission protocol, enabling instant archive access and smooth streaming, even in high-traffic networks.
Why It Matters
With Ajax IndoorCam and Wi-Fi Camera, users enjoy unparalleled flexibility and reliability:
- Up to 1,700 meters of wireless range with a hub
- Enhanced Wi-Fi stability at distances up to 500 meters in open space
- Passwordless mTLS authentication for bulletproof security
- NDAA compliance and advanced cybersecurity measures
Whether for private residences, busy retail spaces, or high-security environments, these cameras are built to deliver professional-grade monitoring - without compromise.
Ajax Desktop App & ONVIF Support: New System Integrations
Ajax Systems keeps pushing the boundaries of professional-grade security and seamless integration. With the launch of Ajax PRO Desktop and full ONVIF support, the ecosystem opens up to powerful new possibilities for control, monitoring, and video wall experiences.
As Rob Harman succinctly put it at ISC West:
"We want users to have that video wall experience."
And now, they absolutely can.
Ajax PRO Desktop: Command Center at Your Fingertips
Ajax PRO Desktop transforms any PC into a full-fledged command center. Security professionals and facility managers can now monitor, configure, and manage Ajax systems directly from Windows or macOS desktops. The desktop app provides:
- Full multi-system management from a single interface
- Event logs, instant notifications, and detailed device diagnostics
- Effortless system scaling - perfect for managing multiple sites
- Access to configuration wizards, including the new ONVIF setup
For professional users, Ajax PRO Desktop becomes the heart of operations, enabling remote configuration, firmware updates, and real-time monitoring without the need to juggle multiple apps or devices.
ONVIF Support: Unlocking Professional Video Integration
The new ONVIF support takes Ajax cameras and NVRs to the next level by enabling direct integration with leading third-party VMS platforms like Milestone, Genetec, Axxon, and Digifort. With ONVIF Profile S now supported, users can stream video and audio directly to their preferred systems, bypassing Ajax Cloud if needed.
Ajax has made the integration process seamless:
- Use the step-by-step ONVIF Wizard in Ajax PRO Desktop (v4.20+) to set up users and generate RTSP links automatically
- Up to five ONVIF users per device with customizable roles: Administrator, Operator, or Viewer
- Flexible manual configuration for advanced system requirements
- Support for H.264 encoding and motion detection event transmission (AI recognition support is planned soon!)
This means greater flexibility for retrofitting existing infrastructures and expanding with Ajax hardware - without compromising performance or security.
As Ajax Systems noted, "Security is no longer limited by compatibility barriers - it’s built to adapt."
Highlighting of Detected Objects: Smart Visual Cues
One of the newest features included with the update is Highlighting of Detected Objects. Cameras now visually mark people, vehicles, or animals detected by AI - giving operators quick situational awareness at a glance, directly in the video stream or event-based recordings.
Combined with Ajax’s Video Wall experience, this delivers the high-level control that professionals need to respond rapidly to incidents.
Why It Matters
With Ajax PRO Desktop and ONVIF support, professionals and everyday users alike gain:
- Centralized control for large-scale systems
- Integration with top-tier video management systems
- Advanced AI detection and visual cues for fast response
- Professional-grade tools made accessible and easy to deploy
And most importantly, as Rob Harman emphasized:
"We're making professional tools accessible to everyone - no compromises."
Ajax Systems is not just building a security platform. They're shaping a professional ecosystem that grows alongside its users, from individual installations to enterprise-scale deployments.
Ajax Cameras and AI Analytics: VMS Compatibility
Ajax Systems continues to refine their video surveillance line, combining high-quality hardware with advanced AI-powered analytics - all while keeping the user experience unmistakably Ajax.
As Rob Harman emphasized at ISC West:
"We try to make it as Ajax as possible."
That means seamless integration, minimal setup hassle, and professional-grade results.
Professional Cameras with Built-in AI
The Ajax camera lineup - DomeCam Mini, BulletCam, and TurretCam - is engineered for precision surveillance, now complete with ONVIF support and advanced AI object recognition.Whether you need to monitor residential areas, commercial properties, or industrial zones, these cameras deliver:
- High-resolution imagery up to 4MP
- ONVIF Profile S support for seamless integration with leading VMS systems (like Milestone, Genetec, Axxon, Digifort)
- Smart detection of people, vehicles, and animals
- AI-powered analytics processed directly on the device - no extra servers or subscriptions needed
This empowers professionals to capture meaningful security events while reducing false alarms from environmental noise or irrelevant motion.
Ajax Systems shared, "Security is no longer limited by compatibility barriers - it’s built to adapt."
AI Analytics for Actionable Insights
Ajax cameras go beyond simple motion detection. Their AI algorithms precisely classify detected objects, so users receive only relevant alerts:
- A person loitering by an entrance
- A car pulling into a restricted area
- Animals wandering into sensitive zones
Additionally, Ajax cameras feature highlighting of detected objects right in the video stream. This visual cue helps operators quickly understand the context and respond faster.
This smart layer of analytics dramatically improves situational awareness, especially when monitoring high-traffic environments or critical infrastructure.
Built for VMS Integration and Flexibility
Thanks to ONVIF authorization, Ajax cameras can transmit streams directly to third-party VMS systems, bypassing the cloud. Supporting RTSP-based streaming and H.264 encoding, they integrate effortlessly into existing setups.
More advanced functions like H.265 encoding and AI event transmission are also supported, optimizing bandwidth and storage consumption.
And if your VMS doesn’t support ONVIF, Ajax provides RTSP stream links generated automatically in the setup wizard - keeping the integration process flexible and user-friendly.
Cloud Backup & Advanced Storage Options
For ultimate reliability, video footage is not only stored locally or streamed to VMS but can also be secured in the cloud via Ajax Cloud Storage. This ensures critical moments are preserved, even if local equipment is compromised.
"It’s about giving professionals peace of mind and end-users control of their security system," Ajax emphasized.
Ajax Cloud Storage is easy to manage through the Ajax PRO apps, and subscription plans are adaptable to various needs. For installers and security providers, it’s also an opportunity for predictable recurring revenue.
