Security remains a growing concern across Australia, but advanced solutions like the AJAX Wireless Security System are helping to reduce the risk and impact of crime for many homes and businesses. With non-invasive installation, smartphone app control, encrypted anti-jamming technology, and seamless smart home integration, AJAX offers a modern, flexible way to protect what matters most.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, approximately 2.1% of households (217,600 homes) experienced a break-in in 2023–2024, up from 1.8% the previous year.
Research on break-in rates across Australia show that around 8% of Australians have experienced a break-in or attempted break-in in recent years. Meanwhile, in the 2023-24 financial year, 2.1% of businesses in Australia experienced a break-in (that’s over 210,000 premises).
In light of these figures, investing in a dependable advanced security solution is essential. The AJAX wireless security system has become one of the most popular choices in Australia, offering modern wireless protection that suits both homes and businesses.
How the AJAX security system works
At the core of AJAX Security is a wireless modular network. Devices such as motion detectors, door and window sensors, glass break detectors, sirens and smoke or flood sensors all connect to a central AJAX Hub. Communication happens over encrypted frequency-hopping channels, making it difficult to jam or interfere with signals.
Because AJAX is wireless, installation is faster and far less disruptive than traditional systems. Expanding coverage is simple: just pair a new device to the Hub without rewiring walls or ceilings.
The AJAX Hub connects directly to your smartphone through the AJAX app, providing real-time alerts, event logs and arm/disarm controls. For Australian users, Smokeshield offers expert installation and integration, ensuring the system works exactly as intended.
Key benefits of AJAX wireless technology
Smokeshield Security has partnered with AJAX to bring you the ultimate in home and business protection. We chose this product because it offers:
Higher reliability
AJAX uses encrypted frequency-hopping protocols that resist tampering and jamming. Traditional wired systems can be turned off if a cable is cut, while AJAX continues to communicate securely.
Smart home integration
Cameras, HVAC, lighting, and other smart devices are all integrated with the AJAX security system. This becomes a key point for property automation and control rather than just a basic alarm.
Lower maintenance
It's easier to keep wireless devices up to date. Remote diagnostics and firmware upgrades further minimise the need for on-site maintenance, and battery-powered devices endure for several years before needing to be replaced.
Aesthetic design
AJAX devices feature sleek, minimal lines. They complement modern residential and commercial spaces without the bulk and clutter of traditional sensors.
Expansion and flexibility
You can start small and grow over time thanks to the modular framework. It is simple to add more sensors for carbon monoxide, flood, or fire protection.
What sets AJAX apart from traditional alarms
Several distinctions make AJAX stand out:
- Wireless vs wired: AJAX avoids costly cabling and enables faster, cleaner installation
- Tamper resistance: Encrypted anti-jamming communication ensures stronger protection
- Remote diagnostics: Firmware updates and troubleshooting are available via the AJAX app
- Scalability: Users can begin with essential devices and expand coverage as needed
These features set the AJAX security system apart from many traditional alarm systems as a more reliable and flexible choice.
Why security matters more than ever
In addition to causing financial loss, break-ins often inflict mental distress and disturbance. The need for preventative measures is underscored by the increase in burglary rates in Australia.
Risks to businesses include compromised data, halted operations, stolen inventory and higher insurance. These issues are addressed by the AJAX security system through smart integration, resilience, and dependability.
