The Core of Your System: The Ajax Hub
To get started, the Hub is the brain of the entire Ajax security system. All devices, whether it's motion detectors, door sensors, or cameras, communicate through the Hub, making it an essential component of the setup. Let’s break down the primary functions and the unique features of this critical device.
How Does the Ajax Hub Work?
The Hub acts as the central communication point. If a door opens, or if movement is detected in your backyard, the Hub processes the data and sends real-time alerts to the user via their smartphone. These notifications can also be directed to a professional monitoring station, ensuring no suspicious activity goes unnoticed.
The Ajax Hub uses Jeweller technology to provide a secure, two-way encrypted communication protocol between the Hub and the connected devices. This technology extends up to 1,700 meters, ensuring broad coverage across a variety of spaces. Additionally, if any communication is lost, the system will notify the user immediately, giving peace of mind.
The Hub’s robust communication capabilities are reinforced by four communication channels, including LTE support. In case of network failure, the system seamlessly switches to the next available channel, keeping the connection stable and the property secure.
App Integration: Control at Your Fingertips
Managing your Ajax system is made easy through the Ajax mobile app. Within the app, users can monitor signal strength, add new users, and set custom rules for the system. Whether you’re the installer or the owner, the app provides all the necessary tools to configure and monitor the Hub and its connected devices.
