People often put off upgrading security until something goes wrong.
The break-in. The flood from a burst pipe. The smoke alarm that never went off. By then, the damage is done.
Whether you're starting from scratch or filling in the gaps, a well-designed security system gives you something more valuable than cameras and sensors. It gives you certainty that you'll know the moment something isn't right.
What robust security looks like
A good security system does three things:
- Detects threats early
- Alerts the right people immediately
- Gives you a clear picture of what's happening - wherever you are.
That means sensors on every entry point. Real-time alerts to your phone. A system that keeps working even if the power is cut or the internet drops.
It also means a system that's professionally installed and configured - not a box of parts from a hardware store with default passwords and no monitoring integration.
The technology behind our automation & alarm systems
After testing a range of wireless security platforms, Smokeshield Security partnered with AJAX Systems to deliver smart alarm and automation solutions to Australian homes and businesses.
Trusted by security professionals and property owners in 180 countries, Ajax was recognised as Security Equipment Manufacturer of the Year at the Australian Security Industry Awards.
What sets AJAX apart is its proprietary encrypted wireless protocol. If a sensor is tampered with, covered, or loses power, it alerts you immediately — rather than simply going silent. And because it's completely wireless, installation is clean and fast, with no drilling through walls or messy cabling.

One system. Complete coverage.
Intrusion Detection
Wireless motion detectors, door and window sensors, and glass break detectors cover every entry point - inside and out. The system distinguishes between people and pets, which significantly reduces false alarms that cause alert fatigue.
Video Surveillance
AJAX cameras deliver sharp, encrypted video you can access from anywhere via the app. Privacy zones can be configured per user, and footage is stored securely. Unlike standalone cameras, video integrates directly with your alarm and alert system.
Fire & Smoke Detection
Wireless smoke, heat, and carbon monoxide detectors provide early warning well before standard residential detectors would trigger. A single detection event can simultaneously alert you, your monitoring centre, and emergency services.
Water Leak Detection
A burst pipe or slow leak behind a wall can cause extensive damage before anyone sees it. AJAX water sensors detect moisture the moment it appears and alert you immediately, and water is shut off within 7 seconds.
Smart Automation
The AJAX platform also manages lighting, climate, and appliance control through a single app. For business owners, this means scheduling, access management, and security from one dashboard. For homeowners, it means less friction and more control over your whole property.
Want to go further? Pair it with our fog security system
For clients who want active deterrence on top of detection and alerting, we provide an integrated option that is unrivalled in Australia.
Our AJAX-ready UR Fog security units connect directly to your AJAX system. When a sensor triggers an intrusion alert, the fog system activates automatically - filling the space with a dense, harmless fog in seconds. Visibility drops to near zero. Intruders can't navigate and are forced to flee empty-handed.
It's an optional layer, not a requirement - but if you're protecting high-value stock, equipment, or a property that's had previous incidents, it's worth asking about when we conduct your security assessment.
Extensive experience and expert installation makes a big difference
The hardware is only as good as the people who set it up.
We've been designing and installing security systems across Australia for over 40 years. We've seen what happens when systems are misconfigured, poorly positioned, or left with factory default passwords. Our installations are fully commissioned - every sensor placed deliberately, every alert tested, every camera angle verified before we leave.
And because we work across the full range of Smokeshield security solutions - alarms, CCTV, fog systems, AI monitoring, body cameras and duress devices - we can design something that fits your actual situation, not a one-size catalogue package.
