The Ajax Superior difference

Lightning-fast alarms. Verified.

Superior MotionCam (PhOD) Jeweller has a built-in camera that takes photos once the detector is triggered. It needs just 9 seconds to show the actual situation on the scene. With visual evidence available in Ajax apps, the security company can quickly verify the threat and respond accordingly. Several types of photo verification relieve users of unnecessary anxiety and prevent security companies from false patrol calls. Users can take an on-demand photo with a single tap to monitor their house's state at any time. The detector can also automatically take photos by an alarm of another device in the system, by a specific schedule, and by arming/disarming.

Peace of mind on demand

The detector needs just a few seconds to show the actual situation on the scene and dispel the user's doubts in case of an alarm. It takes a click in the Ajax app to take an on-demand photo. Also, it can automatically take photos by schedule, by arming/disarming, or when another detector in the system is triggered.

Privacy first

Detailed event log
The event log records 500 recent events within the system. The data is explicit with the device, time, and event description. On-demand photos are linked to the user who requested them. Photos can be received only by users with the Photo on Demand access. Security companies do not receive the photos.

Strict permission distribution
The Privacy menu in Ajax apps helps accurately adjust access to visual data for users and security company operators: who and when can request a photo, which detector can take on-demand photos, and who can view the received pictures or streams from integrated surveillance cameras.

Encryption and GDPR
Photos are encrypted at every stage of transmission. Only system users can access the virtual Ajax Cloud storage and view photos. While stored, no photos are processed or analysed. The Ajax Cloud service is hosted on geographically distributed servers that meet the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.

No intruder goes unnoticed

PIR sensor
All Ajax motion detectors use PIR sensors by Excelitas Technologies — a field-leading American manufacturer specializing in designing and producing optronic components since 1931. Ajax Systems constantly proves the sensor's Superior quality at the production stage: we test 100% of manufactured devices. Wrapped into Ajax technologies, it brings the utmost accuracy of intrusion detection.

Special lens
The pattern of the Fresnel lens sections is designed to differentiate between the IR diagrams of a human, animal, and thermal noise. Large lens sections capture radiation at an adult's head and torso level. Smaller sections make the diagram more detailed. The lens provides the detector with accurate information about the thermal object in the detection zone and the nature of its movement.

Thermal interferences filter
We processed thousands of thermal patterns caused by humans, animals, and the environment to develop the SmartDetect software algorithm. In armed mode, the detector constantly analyses the thermal diagram from the PIR sensor, including the IR radiation intensity, thermal spot size, movement speed, time spent in the detection zone, and other parameters. The algorithm identifies false alarm markers instantly and with high accuracy. As a result — the detector accurately responds to human motion without false alarms.

Temperature compensation
Temperature compensation is a software mechanism keeping the thermal diagram contrast even if the ambient temperature is close to the temperature of the human body. With each ambient temperature measurement, the detector corrects the PIR sensor data according to the coefficient table stored in its memory. The detector is effective over the entire operating temperature range.

Sensitivity level
The detector can adapt to the conditions of a particular facility, considering possible thermal interference or pets. The sensitivity setting changes the set of markers by which false alarms are filtered. Low sensitivity makes the detector less likely to respond to an active pet. A high sensitivity will raise the alarm in case of any motion in the detection zone.

Professional installation
With the correct installation at the height of 2.4 m and lens direction perpendicular to an alleged intrusion path, the detector provides an accurate thermal diagram and pet immunity. It instantly responds to a real threat, minimising false alarms caused by animals weighing up to 20 kg and below 50 cm in height.

Stable performance in heat and cold

The Ajax Superior devices are equipped with high-quality batteries from proven manufacturers only. In addition to real-time testing on the battery production stage, Ajax Systems inspects every unit to ensure the accuracy of the batteries’ characteristics. The temperature range does not affect the capacity, as the batteries provide stable performance in temperatures from –10 °С to +40 °С.

• Minimal impact of threshold temperatures on battery life
• High quality proven by regular tests
• Up to 5 years of operation

Unique wireless technologies

The Ajax system uses two-way secure radio communication based on Jeweller and Wings proprietary protocols. Radio protocols work in parallel and focus on their own function, guaranteeing instant data and delivery even with communication interruptions and a weak signal.

• Up to 1,700 m of radio communication with a hub or range extender3
• Encrypted two-way radio communication
• Notifications about jamming and connection loss
• 9 s to deliver the first photo

Communication through steel and concrete

Some facilities have thick walls, metal partitions, or sheer distances that affect signal quality. Ajax range extenders are designed to increase the range of a wireless network and deliver stable connection with a hub despite the obstacles. And by choosing the model with an Ethernet cable connector, you get an additional communication channel. А single system can accommodate up to five range extenders.

• Up to 5 range extenders within one system
• Ethernet-equipped model available

System supervision

All Ajax devices perform automatic self-diagnosis and report their states to the hub. Essential parameters, including tamper, communication, power supply, and sensor statuses, are continuously monitored. The Ajax Cloud server controls communication between the hub and Ajax apps, ensuring instant notifications for ARCs, security companies, and users. In case of any malfunction or communication failure, an engineer is informed immediately to provide necessary services.

• Automatic device self-diagnosis with status report
• Regular polling to display the current device state on apps
• Instant maintenance notifications

Sabotage-resistant

Tamper alarm
The enclosure has a tamper button, which notifies the security company and users once the device is dismantled from the mount.

Data encryption
All data the system stores and transmits is protected by a block cypher with a dynamic key. Encryption makes it extremely difficult to reprogram the device, replace or steal the data.

Data-rich notifications
The Ajax system instantly notifies about alarms and events with informative notifications: security companies and users know exactly which device triggered, when and where it happened.

Regular polling
The device regularly exchanges data with the hub. The system controls each device state and reports if there is a malfunction or connection loss.

Device authentication against spoofing
The hub checks the device's unique parameters for authentication during each communication session. If any parameter fails the check, the hub ignores device commands.

Communication failure detection
The device regularly exchanges data with the hub. With maximum ping interval settings available (3 data packages once in 12 seconds), it takes only 36 seconds to identify communication loss and notify the security company and users about the incident.

Effortless installation and setup

MotionCam S (PhOD) is ready to operate straight out of the box. Using the SmartBracket panel, an installer can effortlessly mount the device on the wall, eliminating the need to disassemble the enclosure. Ajax apps help quickly make the device a part of the ecosystem: simply pair the device with the hub by scanning the QR code. It can always be reconfigured remotely without the need for on-site visits.
