Ajax Security System Use Cases: 56 Real Examples, From a Perth Launderette to a Solar Farm

Ajax security system use cases, drawn from Ajax's own published customer stories and sorted by the problem each site had. One of them is ours: a Perth self-service launderette that now runs itself from a phone. The rest come from Ajax's partners around the world, and we have pulled out the numbers, the odd mechanisms and what each one means for a business in Western Australia.

Ajax security systems in Australia: what carries over from the other 55 stories

Ajax security system Australia searches tend to end on spec sheets. These security system examples are more useful: each one is a real site with a real problem, and the solution is a device recipe we can reproduce in WA. We read all 61 of Ajax's published stories, dropped the purely residential ones, and grouped the remaining 55 by the problem they solved rather than the industry label Ajax gave them.

Three honest caveats. The figures and claims in each entry are Ajax's, from its published story, and we link every one as the source. A handful of stories use Ajax product lines that were listed as unavailable in our region when we checked, so we describe those generically and say so. And where a story leans on European fire certification, we note that it is not an Australian Standard; in WA we install early-warning smoke, heat and CO detection alongside the building's compliant fire system, never as a substitute for it.

Retail and restaurant chain security: one app for every branch

Multi-site operators keep appearing in Ajax's stories for the same reason. A hub per site, the same device recipe at every branch, and one app that shows the whole estate. These are the examples a Perth franchisee or area manager should read first.

Burger King restaurant in Norway protected by an Ajax wireless security system

Fast-food chain security system rolled out to 95 restaurants

Burger King's Norwegian restaurants each got a Hub 2 Plus with four communication paths (Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two SIM cards), opening and motion detectors on every entry, and a keypad at the back-of-house door so managers get a notification whenever someone enters the staff area. Restaurant executives with admin rights arm and disarm from their phones. Ajax reports that going wireless cut the installation expense roughly in half compared with a cabled system, and that the roll-out did not interrupt trading. The same recipe is the obvious fit for a Perth restaurant group with a handful of sites.

Dean and Dennys fast-food restaurant protected by Ajax with staff panic buttons and WallSwitch relays

Restaurant chain alarm with panic buttons by day and automation after close

A 40-restaurant burger chain in Argentina had an older alarm at each site but no central view, and every change needed a technician on site. The Ajax rebuild gave head office one app across all locations. During trading hours staff carry panic buttons for conflicts in the dining area. After close the equipment is protected by opening and motion detectors, with a ReX 2 range extender pushing the radio signal through kitchens full of stainless steel. WallSwitch relays tie lighting, climate control and the LED screens to the arming state, so locking up at night switches the lot off.

German Doner Kebab restaurant in the UK with Ajax fire detection, intrusion protection and cameras on one system

Fire, intrusion and video on one hub per restaurant, 14 sites and growing

A UK kebab chain wanted one platform showing fire alarms, intrusion events and camera streams for every restaurant at once. Each site runs from a single touchscreen fire panel that also hosts the intrusion devices and cameras, with manual call points by the exits and an I/O module tied into the kitchen suppression system. Fourteen restaurants went live first, then the chain made the design its standard for new openings. In Australia the fire side would be designed around the building's existing fire system and the relevant Australian Standards; the one-app, same-recipe-everywhere part carries over directly.

Cluck'd fast-casual restaurant secured by an integrated Ajax fire, intrusion and video system

Restaurant security with audit-ready documentation for a growing brand

A fast-casual chicken brand needed fire safety, intrusion and video to work as one documented system rather than a patchwork, with clear records for auditors. The install links the fire panel to the suppression system, HVAC and in-store audio so an alarm triggers a coordinated response, while 8 MP turret cameras and a 16-channel NVR cover customer and staff areas. Opening detectors protect the shell after hours. Ajax's mobile and desktop apps show device health across the estate, which is the part most franchise operators ask us about first.

Car rental branch with covered parking protected by Ajax motion, glass-break and opening detectors

Car rental branch alarms: 51 sites, 25 security groups, 200 users

Latin America's largest car rental company protected 51 Colombian branches, mostly covered parking structures and sales offices with big front windows. A Hub 2 Plus at each site splits the premises into up to 25 groups with 200 users, so staff access can be organised by area. CombiProtect detectors cover motion and glass break in one unit for the showcase windows. The brief was no disruption to trading and no false alarms, and the system is easy to add to when a branch moves or expands.

Toyota dealership yard in Puerto Madryn covered by Ajax outdoor motion detectors with photo verification

Car dealership security: 85 wireless devices covering yard, showroom and workshop

A new Toyota dealership in Argentina combined a showroom, service bays, parts storage, offices and open vehicle lots, each with different risks. By day the priority is staff safety, so panic buttons and a touchscreen keypad are at hand. After hours, outdoor motion detectors cover the perimeter and MotionCam Outdoor units photograph anything that moves at the critical points, sending the images to the monitoring station within seconds so operators can tell a thief from a cat. Glass-break detectors protect the showroom glazing. Over 85 wireless devices went in without closing the dealership for a day. Our car dealership security page covers the Perth version.

Open-air shopping centre protected by an Ajax wireless security system covering stairwells, car parks and terraces

Shopping centre security that partly replaced guards, installed eight times faster than cable

An open-air shopping centre of about 9,000 square metres with a supermarket, gym and food court wanted to cut guard costs by protecting key access points after hours. With the centre nearly finished and no conduits for a cabled system, Ajax was the practical option. One Hub 2 Plus and two range extenders carry more than 60 devices across stairwells, terraces, car parks, pedestrian entries and lift lobbies, with smoke and CO detection in the food court. Ajax says the fire part went in within a day and the intrusion part up to eight times faster than a conventional install. Because each detector is addressable, guards know exactly which door tripped.

Ajax motion detector blending into a Christmas market stall interior in Ferrara

Market stall security for a seasonal event: 24 stalls on one hub

Twenty-four merchants run gift stalls in a city square from late November to January, and someone always comes back at night. Their security provider put a single Hub 2 (4G) at the centre, a range extender to reach across the square, and an opening detector plus motion detector in every stall. An outdoor siren with a branded faceplate sits on the stalls themselves. The whole thing is installed in days and removed in January. The same approach suits markets, pop-ups, show stands and event villages in Perth, where cabling is never an option. See event security for how we handle temporary sites.

Self-service and unstaffed businesses: security that runs the shop

Laundromats, storage facilities, kiosks and farms have the same shape of problem: nobody is on site, machines need to be reset, doors need to open on time, and the owner wants to see it all from a phone. The relay is the hero device in every one of these.

Self-service laundry shopfront in Queluz, Portugal, protected and automated by an Ajax system

Laundromat security for 12 self-service laundries with scheduled door automation

A Portuguese operator runs 12 coin laundries, most in Lisbon and one in a higher-risk suburb. The brief was protection for the machines and customers' clothes, doors that open and close on schedule, and the existing wired fire detectors and cameras folded into the same app. Every site got a hub, opening and motion detectors and an indoor siren, with relays driving the door automation and lighting used as an extra deterrent. Ajax notes its devices tolerate the 75 percent humidity typical of a laundry. This is the closest cousin to our own Wash House story, and the pattern scales to any number of Perth laundromats.

Ajax glass-break detector protecting a self-storage facility storefront

Self storage security system with shutters, fence and lights on 32 automation scenarios

An international self-storage operator needed continuous monitoring plus automation of the things staff used to do: arming and disarming by schedule, controlling access shutters and the electric fence, and switching lights and locks. A Hub 2 (4G) runs up to 32 scenarios per site. Opening detectors sit on entry points, glass-break detectors cover the storefront and glass partitions, and the existing camera system was integrated rather than replaced. Smoke and heat detectors round it out. Ajax's app gives head office one view of every centre. We have the same conversation with Perth storage and warehouse operators every month.

MotoDome capsule motorbike garage protected by an Ajax wireless system with relay-driven roller shutter

Off-grid capsule garage security with roller shutter and lighting automation

A manufacturer of capsule garages for high-value motorbikes needed protection for units that sit in public outdoor settings with no mains power and no Ethernet. Each capsule carries a wireless kit with a pre-installed multi-carrier SIM. Arming or disarming automatically drives the roller shutter through a relay, interior lighting comes on when the owner parks, and at dusk soft lighting turns the unit into a display. A MotionCam PhOD photographs anything inside. It is a neat template for any unstaffed kiosk, vending pod, EV charger cabinet or container office.

Mushroom growing tents on a Turkish farm protected and monitored by Ajax detectors and relays

Farm security and climate alerts across 38 greenhouses

A mushroom farm with 38 sealed grow tents (4,560 square metres in total) needed intrusion protection and, more importantly, a way to turn its passive climate monitoring into alerts and actions. Each tent got a hub, opening detector, motion detector and outdoor siren, and the farm's environmental sensors were wired into the Ajax system so a deviation in temperature or humidity now notifies the technical team instantly and triggers relays to correct it. Ajax credits the automation with tripling production efficiency. Any WA grower running controlled-environment sheds, coolrooms or hatcheries has the same gap between monitoring and action.

Automation that pays for itself: relays, leak valves and air quality

Five stories where the security system ended up doing a second job. Gates, barriers, ventilation, irrigation, water shut-off. None of these needed a building management system; they needed a few relays and scenarios on the alarm panel already being installed.

Premium dental clinic interior protected by 73 Ajax wireless devices

Medical clinic security with gate, barrier and ventilation automation

A premium dental clinic holding more than 700,000 euros of equipment wanted protection from theft, fire and flooding, and a clinic that behaves like a smart building. Seventy-three devices cover the outdoor area, waiting rooms, surgeries, offices and plant rooms. Relays open the courtyard gate, raise the car park barrier and release the front door with one tap in the app or a press of a Button. The ventilation system switches off automatically when the clinic is armed. After several floods from above, leak detectors were added, including in the apartments over the clinic, and an outdoor MotionCam photographs the 60 square metre yard. See our medical and clinic security page for the Perth context.

LifeQuality air quality monitor and Ajax relays automating ventilation in an 8,000 square metre office

Office ventilation automation on CO₂ readings across 18 meeting rooms

Ajax ran this one on its own 800-person office: a rented 8,000 square metre building with 18 meeting rooms, some without windows, where staff managed the air conditioning by hand. LifeQuality monitors in every meeting room and across the open plan report CO₂, temperature and humidity. When any room passes 1,000 ppm the office manager gets a notification and relays start the supply ventilation; when every room drops below 800 ppm it shuts off. Ajax puts the productivity saving at more than a million dollars in the first months. The hardware is a few monitors and relays on the same hub as the intrusion system.

Torre New York Life office tower in Mexico City fitted with Ajax leak detectors and WaterStop valves

Commercial leak detection with automatic water shut-off in a 35-floor office tower

One of Mexico City's tallest office towers had automated nearly everything except plumbing, and a leak on a high floor closes offices for weeks. The installer covered all 35 floors with two hubs and five range extenders, then placed 48 LeaksProtect detectors under sinks, near boilers and in the bathrooms where leaks start. WaterStop valves on the risers close automatically when a detector gets wet, and the facilities team sees exactly which floor and which fixture. The detectors need no installation work and run about five years on a battery. For Perth strata and commercial towers this is the cheapest insurance conversation we have.

DualCurtain Outdoor detectors on poles securing the perimeter of a solar park in Argentina

Solar farm security: curtain detectors every 30 metres, cameras at the transformers

A remote solar park needed reliable perimeter detection across a large outdoor area, separate protection for the transformer zone, role-based access so staff stay out of restricted areas, and remote control of the site's marine sirens and climate equipment. One Hub 2 (4G) was enough: DualCurtain Outdoor detectors on 14 poles roughly 30 metres apart watch the fence line in both directions, opening detectors on the gates take their input from industrial magnetic contacts, and MotionCam Outdoor units photograph anyone near the transformers so the monitoring company only sends a car for a real intrusion. Relays run the sirens and plant. WA's solar farms, pump stations and substations share every one of these requirements.

On-site coordination at Club Atletico Las Palmas before the Ajax wireless system rollout

Sports club security with pitch lighting and irrigation on scheduled scenarios

A football club with four grass pitches, synthetic and beach fields, indoor halls and a hospitality area had wired devices from another vendor that were a pain to maintain, and plans to add a hostel, a school and another indoor centre. The Ajax system kept the usable wired devices through a MultiTransmitter, added wireless motion and opening detectors indoors, and used WallSwitch relays to automate the field lighting and the irrigation for the natural turf on schedules. Ajax reports zero false alarms despite constant foot traffic. Perth sporting clubs and council reserves are a straight copy of this brief.

Heritage and listed buildings: security without drilling

Eight sites where the building itself was the constraint. Thick stone, timber, protected interiors, insurers to satisfy and, in two cases, exhibits visitors are allowed to walk right up to. The wireless radio range and the shock-and-tilt detector do most of the work.

Palladian 17th-century country house in the UK protected by a wireless Ajax fire and intrusion system

Heritage estate security: 110 devices installed in a week by one engineer

A 17th-century Palladian country house on a 180-acre estate needed fire detection and intrusion protection without a single cable run or drilled hole in its historic walls. Thick stone and the sheer size of the property had defeated earlier wireless attempts. The Ajax install put 110 devices on one control panel covering fire, intrusion, automation and video, deployed in one week by a single engineer. Smoke and heat detectors with built-in sounders sit in the highest-risk rooms. In Australia we would design the fire detection around the building's existing fire system and Australian Standards rather than the European certification used here; the no-drilling result is the same.

Norderhov Church in Norway, a 1170 heritage church protected by Ajax with no invasive installation

Church security for a 12th-century building: fire, intrusion and cameras on one panel

A church council responsible for a choir church built in 1170 was stuck with a wired system that false-alarmed and needed constant maintenance, in a building where the state antiquarian controls every screw. The replacement is wireless end to end: smoke and heat detectors, opening and motion detectors, a touchscreen keypad for the wardens, and 8 MP cameras recording to an NVR, all on one panel the monitoring company manages remotely. Exposed wiring went away with the old system. Perth has dozens of heritage-listed churches, halls and lodges with exactly this problem.

Athikesava Perumal Temple in Tamil Nadu protected by Ajax outdoor curtain detectors and DomeCam Mini cameras

Temple security: outdoor curtain detectors and cameras with video that pops up on alarm

A Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu needed outdoor intrusion protection and video across the grounds without drilling into the structure. Curtain-type outdoor detectors guard the perimeter, entrances and access points, DomeCam Mini cameras cover the key areas, and a scenario opens the relevant camera feed in the app the moment a detector trips, so security staff verify without hunting through footage. The radio holds through thick stone walls. The verification-on-alarm scenario is worth copying on any site with a small security team.

Villa Cattolica, home of the Guttuso Museum in Bagheria, protected by an Ajax wireless system

Museum security in a 1736 villa: 104 devices and photo verification for forgetful staff

A museum in a 1736 villa near Palermo had an outdated, uninformative alarm and strict rules against drilling. The new system runs 104 devices from a single Hub 2 Plus with four communication channels. Fifteen opening, shock and tilt detectors cover the entrances and balcony doors. The client specifically asked for a fix for staff who forget to disarm on arrival, so MotionCam detectors send photos with each alarm and the monitoring station can stand down without a visit. Our government and public building page covers galleries and civic buildings in WA.

Ajax motion detector standing guard over an exhibition at the American Museum and Gardens in England

Museum security across three listed buildings with a VHF backup if the signal is jammed

A museum of American art and history housed in a listed English manor and two outbuildings had to satisfy insurer-grade standards without cables or drilling, and replace an aged alarm covering three buildings of displays. One Hub 2 Plus covers the lot thanks to a two-kilometre radio range through thick walls. A vhfBridge module gives the hub an alternative VHF path to the monitoring company, so a jamming attack is detected and reported rather than silencing the system. The existing wired devices stay in service through a MultiTransmitter. Ask us about which device grades are available in Australia before specifying for an insurer.

Historic wooden buildings of Bryggen in Bergen, a UNESCO World Heritage site protected by Ajax fire detectors

Fire alarms for 633 wooden heritage buildings, with a five-minute burnt-toast button

Bergen's municipality fitted 633 Ajax fire systems across the timber buildings of its UNESCO-listed district, from detached houses to shops and apartment blocks. Residents get alerts in the app and detectors interconnect so the whole building sounds. The clever part was built for this project: if someone burns dinner, pressing a Button within five minutes of smoke detection postpones the interconnected alarm, giving ten minutes to air the room before the fire department is called. Fire department software monitors the whole district. For a WA strata or heritage precinct, early-warning detection alongside the building's fire system is the conversation to have.

Football shirts of European Championship legends on mannequins at the Museum of Copenhagen, each protected by an Ajax DoorProtect Plus

Exhibition security with tilt sensors screwed to the mannequins, zero false alarms in a month

For a European Championship exhibition in Copenhagen's City Hall, the brief was open access: no glass, no barriers, thousands of visitors walking right up to the shirts of Platini, Lineker and Cantona and the 1992 trophy. Opening-shock-and-tilt detectors normally used on doors were screwed to the mannequins and taped under the other exhibits, with the shock and tilt functions switched on. Touch a shirt gently and nothing happens; pull it or tip the mannequin and the guards get an instant alert naming the exhibit. Not one false alarm in a month, and it came down as quickly as it went up.

Module of Temporality exhibition built from steel containers in central Kyiv, protected by 62 Ajax detectors

Gallery security in 27 shipping containers, designed to be packed up and moved

An exhibition of 28 artists' work was built inside 27 steel containers in a city square, open seven days a week for three months and then dismantled to travel. Steel screens radio, so engineers calculated the placement of two ReX 2 extenders to give all 62 detectors a stable signal. Twenty-five shock and tilt detectors protect the glass and doors, 12 combined motion and glass-break detectors sit inside, 20 smart light switches run the lighting on scenarios, and the third-party CCTV was integrated into the same app. Relocatable, container-based security is exactly what mine camps and event builds in WA ask for.

Schools, councils and public facilities: replacing guards with a system

The biggest numbers on Ajax's site are in this group. Hundreds of schools, thousands of devices, and in one case a six-month payback against the cost of untrained guards. The pattern for a Perth council, school group or facilities manager is the same at any scale.

School building in Mariupol, one of 114 educational institutions protected by Ajax systems

School security for 114 schools and kindergartens with a six-month payback

A city of 475,000 was paying about US$1.4 million a year for untrained guards at its schools and kindergartens and had spent five years assuming a proper system meant walls full of cable. The 2021 project installed 167 systems and 9,714 devices across 114 facilities in two months, roughly 100 devices per site in two to three hours, with the school timetable untouched. Each site got motion and opening detectors on every door and window, photo-verifying detectors, leak detectors and a police-monitored hub. Ajax reports the investment was recouped in six months. Read it alongside our school security page.

A school in Kyiv protected by an Ajax system after the city tendered security for 433 schools

School security at scale: 433 schools, about 170 devices each, under two days per site

A capital city's education department tendered security for 433 schools averaging 10,000 square metres, replacing lone untrained guards who could not cover a whole campus. A standard school system is about 170 devices on a Hub 2 Plus with range extenders, keypads with contactless cards for staff, photo-verifying and dual-technology motion detectors, combined motion and glass-break units for ground-floor rooms, and outdoor sirens. Each school was fitted in under two days. A guard remains by day and patrol crews respond at night. The device recipe translates directly to WA independent schools and TAFE campuses.

Wireless opening detector protecting a school entry in Jurmala, Latvia

Council facility security for 8 schools and 12 kindergartens without a year of cabling

A municipality modernising security across 20 educational sites was told a wired roll-out would take about a year, with drilling in every building. The wireless version went in around the school day. Opening detectors on doors and windows form the first line, range extenders cover the larger buildings, and KeyPad Plus units let managers control staff access with cards and fobs even when off site. The hub supports photo verification so administrators can see what tripped an alarm before anyone is sent. Council facilities managers in WA get the same timetable constraint and the same answer.

American Institute of Monterrey campus protected by Ajax fire and intrusion devices managed in one app

Campus security for 1,200 students: 186 door detectors, 261 fire detectors, four hubs

A private school with 1,200 students wanted fire detection and intrusion protection across every campus building, entry and exit records for staff moving between buildings, and nothing installed during class time. Four Hub 2 Plus panels with ten ReX 2 extenders cover the grounds on multi-carrier links. There are 186 opening detectors on doors and windows, 20 outdoor sirens, and 261 smoke, heat and CO detectors in classrooms, offices and shared spaces, with false alarms described as close to zero. The whole campus is managed from one app with room to add video later.

French Alliance cultural centre campus in Cuenca, Ecuador, secured by an Ajax wireless system with third-party integration

Campus security that kept the existing smoke detectors and call points

A 5,000 square metre cultural centre and language academy, with glass-and-concrete buildings and a tight renovation deadline, needed intrusion and fire protection on one platform without pulling wires. The hub carries 200 detectors on four communication channels. The existing wired smoke detectors were brought in through a MultiTransmitter, the manual call points on the evacuation routes through single-device transmitters, and a relay fires the third-party strobe sirens on a scenario. Keypads with cards handle staff access. It is a good illustration of upgrading a campus without throwing away working equipment.

Riga sports arena, a municipal facility secured by 115 Ajax wireless devices instead of night guards

Sports arena security replacing two night guards across 21,800 square metres

A council-owned arena with 2,500 seats and several training halls relied on two guards working nights, which could not cover the building and strained the budget. A cabled system would have taken months and meant renovation work afterwards, with every oversized window needing a detector. Instead 115 devices went in on one Hub 2 Plus, with extenders carrying the signal through two reinforced concrete floors. Security groups let the offices stay armed while training runs in the main hall. Curtain detectors cover the glazing. Perth councils with recreation centres will recognise every line of this brief.

Apartment buildings in Ostrava protected by Ajax fire detectors installed in common stairways

Apartment building fire detection in the stairwells: 214 detectors across 14 blocks in two weeks

A non-profit project protected 14 apartment blocks, from 4 floors and 8 flats up to 11 floors and 77 flats, without putting equipment inside any apartment. Detectors were installed in stairways and common areas, 214 in total, on a hub with range extenders. When one detects smoke or a temperature jump its own siren sounds, residents are notified in the app, and if the cause is not cleared within a minute every detector in the building sounds together. Installation took two weeks with no noise or construction, and residents spent ten minutes installing the app. A clean model for WA strata committees wanting early warning in common areas alongside the building's fire system.

Ajax fire control panel displaying system state in a refurbished UK apartment block

Strata fire detection restored after a refurbishment, configured off site

A refurbished residential block had removed its old fire system and needed a compliant replacement fast, with residents already living there and freshly finished interiors that could not be drilled. The wireless system was pre-configured away from site and fine-tuned remotely, so technicians spent less time in the building. Heat and smoke detectors cover hallways and stairs, residents can raise an alarm from manual call points, and the sounders activate within three seconds. The certification referenced in this story is European; in WA the equivalent conversation runs through the building's fire engineer and Australian Standards, and we are careful to say so.

Remote, off-grid and temporary sites: no power, no internet, no guards

Twelve stories from weather stations, forests, construction sites, Antarctica and the Arctic. Battery hubs, solar panels, low-voltage supplies, photo verification before anyone drives out, and hardware that keeps working when the link drops. This is the group most relevant to regional WA, mining and agriculture.

Remote weather station near Bergamo protected by a solar-powered Ajax security system

Solar powered alarm system for a remote site with no mains power

A weather station in the Italian hills has no permanent power, no staff and a history of break-ins and crop damage across its 600 square metre site. The installer paired a Hub 2 (2G) with a 6 V power supply, a 7 Ah battery and a 25 W solar panel, so the hub runs for years off the sun; if the external supply fails it carries on for 16 hours on its internal battery, or 60 hours in power-saver mode, and tells the owner and the monitoring station to come and fix it. MotionCam Outdoor detectors photograph the perimeter, with batteries lasting up to three years. The parts list is a near-exact match for a WA pump shed, telecoms hut or remote shed.

Ajax cameras and a mobile AlarmPost security unit protecting road-building equipment in a Polish forest

Mobile security units that move with the machinery on remote road works

A state forestry agency builds roads deep in the forest with heavy machinery that moves on every few weeks, far from power and slow to reach if an alarm sounds. The answer was Ajax devices built into mobile and semi-stationary units in protective cases: a hub, power supply, outdoor motion detectors with cameras and an outdoor siren that goes off the moment movement is detected. Units are picked up and re-sited with the plant. Photos arrive with each alarm, so a patrol is only dispatched for a real intruder. A relocatable kit of this type suits WA civil contractors and pipeline crews.

Inner-city construction site in Dresden protected by Ajax DualCurtain Outdoor and MotionCam Outdoor detectors

Construction site security with a 360-degree perimeter and the first photo in nine seconds

A developer's site in the middle of Dresden was easy to walk onto and full of equipment and materials. Curtain-type outdoor detectors with two independent optics form an invisible fence around the perimeter, adjusted to exclude the usual false-alarm sources, with MotionCam Outdoor units photographing the approaches. The Hub 2 (4G) carries two SIM cards from different carriers, and ReX 2 extenders push the signal through concrete and steel. Operators see the first snapshot nine seconds after an alarm. Our construction site security page covers the Perth version, including temporary and relocatable options.

Rapidly deployable camera tower on the construction site of a Lidl supermarket in France

Battery-powered camera tower and indoor fire and leak detection for a supermarket build

While a Lidl store was being built in France, solar panels and subcontractors' materials sat on a site whose layout changed weekly. The temporary-security provider built two layers on Ajax: an autonomous tower with four hybrid-illumination turret cameras around a battery-powered hub, needing no mains and few site visits, and an indoor hub inside the shell with smoke, heat and CO detectors plus leak detectors as the fit-out progressed. Opening, shock and tilt detectors protect containers. When the store opened, the same system expanded to protect the finished building. It is the cleanest construction-to-operation handover in the whole set.

Safer Pod S1 autonomous solar-powered security station built on Ajax devices for construction sites

Solar security pod for construction sites, farms and mines: 200 devices, two kilometres

A UK partner productised the Ajax kit into a wheeled, solar-and-battery security station for open sites with no power or stable internet. One pod supports up to 200 wireless devices across a two-kilometre area, carries an outdoor siren with an accelerometer so it cannot be tilted or moved without an alarm, and uses detectors that ignore wildlife. If it is in the way of the excavators, roll it elsewhere. Ajax lists construction, farms and mines as the target sites, which reads like a WA regional job sheet. We build similar relocatable kits around the same devices; ask what suits your site.

Vernadsky Research Base in Antarctica, where Ajax fire detectors replaced a 1985 system

Fire detection for a remote station where no installer will ever visit

A research base 16,000 kilometres from its home office was running fire detection installed in 1985, with failing detectors, no spare parts and false alarms, in the windiest place on earth. Ten wireless fire detectors, a hub and two sirens were shipped south. The detectors sit up to 1,300 metres from the hub, each has its own 85 dB sounder, and they keep working with no internet and nobody watching the app. Support is by phone and remote session. Any site that cannot get a technician for months, whether a station, an outcamp or an island, should design to this standard.

Film crew camp in Svalbard protected by Ajax outdoor detectors and smoke, heat and CO sensors

Remote camp security that detects polar bears and generator fumes without internet

A film crew living in small sleeping pods beside polar bears needed to know when a bear walked into camp, and to be warned of fire and carbon monoxide from the generators. With no mobile coverage and only expensive satellite internet, the hub runs on Ajax's own radio, delivering alarms from detectors to the crew with no internet at all and syncing updates when the link is up. Curtain detectors and photo-verifying outdoor detectors watch the camp, smoke-heat-CO detectors sit in the pods, and the hub runs on a 12 to 24 V supply. Swap bears for cattle and it is a Kimberley outcamp.

An occupational health provider operates mobile clinics in trailers at industrial sites, with expensive equipment, no fixed infrastructure, long periods in transit and overnight downtime in remote spots. A Hub (4G) gives the trailer its own internet, and the radio holds through metal partitions and medical equipment. A curtain detector guards the rear of the trailer before anyone reaches the windows, motion detectors cover the hallway and consulting rooms, and an outdoor siren deters. Detection zones are tuned to ignore animals, and batteries last up to seven years. Site offices, dongas and mobile workshops in WA fit the same template.

Alpine Jet Thrills jet boat base on the Waimakariri River, New Zealand, secured by an Ajax wireless system

Remote multi-building site with metal sheds, run by the owners without guards

A jet boat tour operator in Canterbury stores its fleet, equipment and a small museum across several buildings on a remote riverside, some with metal walls that worry wireless designers. One Hub 2 Plus with a ReX 2 extender covers the lot, switching between four communication channels to stay online where a single link is unreliable. Each building has layered motion detection: high-mounted outdoor photo-verifying detectors and curtain detectors outside, standard detectors inside, and an outdoor siren. The owners and managers run it from the app with no on-site guards. The closest story to WA's tourism operators, boat sheds and regional depots.

Poultry production area protected by Ajax outdoor detectors as part of a three-perimeter design

Farm security with three perimeters per site and fewer armed guards

One of Europe's largest poultry producers runs production areas of 100,000 square metres each, more than a kilometre apart in open fields, with patchy mobile signal. The redesign gave every area three detection perimeters so a response team has time to arrive, which removed the need for armed guards at each farm. Outdoor motion detectors rated IP55 survive the humid, disinfectant-heavy vestibules at the shed doors, outdoor sirens sit in the yards, and hubs with range extenders carry the thousands of devices. Integration modules let engineers monitor the water supply in the sheds through the same system. For WA broadacre and intensive farms the perimeter logic is the takeaway.

Portugalenses Transportes truck on a motorway, part of a fleet protected against fuel theft by Ajax

Fleet fuel theft prevention with a sensor built into the tank cap, thefts down 90 percent

A transport company with more than 100 trucks, each carrying about 1,400 litres of diesel, was losing up to ten tanks a month to thieves at rest areas, around 150,000 euros a year. Its installer patented a tank cap with an Ajax opening detector inside. A Hub 2 (2G) on each truck runs from the vehicle battery through a 12 V supply; opening the cap without disarming trips the outdoor siren and alerts the driver's phone and the company control centre. Drivers disarm with a key fob at the bowser, which also logs every refuel. Ajax reports fuel theft fell by 90 percent. WA transport yards and mine fleets lose diesel the same way.

Ajax wireless detectors installed aboard a luxury yacht by a marine electronics firm in the UK

Boat security with wireless detectors and alerts on the onboard dashboard

A marine electronics firm that fits superyachts wanted a professional security system that works with the vessel's own software, uses cellular connectivity, reports to a phone, installs without disassembly and looks right in a luxury interior. The hubs run from the boat's electrics through a 6 V supply, detectors are battery powered for years, and Ajax's Enterprise API feeds system status and alarms into the yacht's dashboard alongside navigation. Remote configuration lets the firm support vessels anywhere. Fremantle's marinas and pen owners are a smaller version of the same market.

Warehouse and industrial security: big sheds, metal racking, insurers

Three large facilities where the challenges were radio interference from steel, outdoor assets, insurer requirements and leases that end. Range extenders, outdoor photo-verifying detectors and integration modules handled all of it.

Kramp agricultural parts warehouse in the Netherlands protected by an Ajax wireless system

Warehouse security for a 5,000 square metre shed on a three-year lease

Europe's biggest agricultural parts supplier rented a 5,000 square metre warehouse for about three years and needed its alarm brought up to the insurer's requirements plus a fire alarm, as fast as possible. Wireless suited a temporary site because everything can be moved when the lease ends. A Hub 2 Plus reports to the monitoring station over the company LAN, a ReX 2 extender overcomes the metal walls and racking, photo-verifying detectors and opening detectors cover the floor, a MultiTransmitter integrates the fire detectors, and staff use KeyPad Plus with cards. Perth logistics tenants in leased sheds face exactly this choice. See warehouse security.

Kubota Canada distribution facility with Ajax outdoor detectors protecting machinery stored outside

Distribution centre outdoor security for equipment and trailers stored in the yard

Kubota's Canadian headquarters and distribution centre covers 16,085 square metres, with tractors and trailers parked outside and an indoor system already in place. Earlier outdoor products looked fine on paper and failed in practice. The Ajax layer uses curtain detectors along the boundaries and MotionCam Outdoor units at the critical zones, with photo confirmation reaching guards and the monitoring company in nine seconds. A scheduled scenario arms the system automatically if staff forget. One Hub 2 Plus with four communication channels runs the whole outdoor perimeter. Yard security for Perth transport and logistics depots follows the same plan.

Ajax fire control panel installed next to the fire alarm zone plan at the Fileder warehouse

Industrial warehouse fire detection: 138 wireless devices across three storeys of steel racking

A water filtration company replaced the fire system in a three-storey warehouse of more than 5,000 square metres packed with metal racking, a hostile environment for radio. All 138 devices were installed without cabling or device disassembly, saving what Ajax describes as days or weeks, and a single fire-grade range extender was enough to cover all three floors. Staff and the monitoring company manage it in the app, with photo-verifying detectors adding visual context to events. For an Australian site this would sit alongside the building's fire system and Australian Standards; the wireless coverage lesson through steel racking stands on its own.

High-security retail and vaults: jewellers, cabinets and clever intruders

Three sites where the threat is an expert, not an opportunist. Existing cameras kept, cabinets fitted with tilt sensors, doors tied into access control, and one vault whose neighbour was robbed through a trick the system now defeats.

Wow Jewelry store in Vietnam secured by Ajax detectors with existing cameras retained

Jewellery store security that kept the existing CCTV and put tilt sensors on the cabinets

A diamond retailer with two stores faced armed robbery from outside and the risk of staff helping themselves from inside, and wanted its existing cameras to keep recording after hours. The Ajax system records the old cameras through an NVR, puts opening detectors on the main entrance, VIP room and windows, and fits shock-and-tilt detectors to the jewellery cabinets so a forced lock or an opened cabinet door triggers an alarm. Relays tie the automatic doors into access control, photo-verifying detectors deliver images within nine seconds, staff have panic buttons, and smoke and heat detectors cover the stock. See our retail security page for the Perth context.

Premium jewellery boutique showroom protected by a hybrid wired and wireless Ajax system

Jewellery boutique security with a vault, a showroom and 32 automation scenarios

A premium boutique with a showroom and a vault needed enterprise-grade protection, fast fire detection, customisation and nothing that spoiled the fit-out. The design mixes Ajax's wired devices for the highest-risk areas with wireless devices elsewhere on a hybrid hub, adds 8 MP cameras and a 16-channel NVR, a touchscreen keypad and smoke and heat detection, and uses 32 automation scenarios to run lighting and locks. The hub's battery keeps the system up through an outage. Ask us which of the higher-grade wired lines are stocked in Australia before specifying for a jeweller or pharmacy; the architecture is available either way.

Third-party detector integrated into an Ajax wired system protecting a private vault in Italy

Vault security with remote photo checks of the attic that defeated a known trick

After a neighbouring vault was robbed, a private vault owner wanted every surface covered: door, walls, ceiling, floor and the attic above. The earlier attack had worked by triggering a continuous alarm in the attic until the owners, convinced it was faulty, switched the detector off. Now the owner can pull a photo of the attic from the app at any time to see the truth. The existing microwave probes and selective microphones were integrated through a wired multi-input module, the hybrid hub switches between Ethernet and two SIMs, and a 7 Ah battery keeps 30 detectors alive for 60 hours. Detector masking and thermal-lance attacks are within scope. Bank branches and pharmacies in Perth borrow the remote-verification idea.

Hospitals, offices and venues: fire, people and video at scale

Three stories where people, not stock, were the priority: a six-floor hospital, a trade association office, and an event venue running shows for a thousand people at a time.

Sanatorio Ushuaia private hospital in Argentina fitted with an Ajax wireless fire detection system

Hospital fire detection across six floors on a single wireless hub

A new private hospital with wards, theatres, intensive care and a maternity unit across six floors and about 6,000 square metres needed fire detection that supports fast evacuation. A single hub carries up to 200 devices, and the Ajax radio holds across floors full of medical electronics. Detectors, manual call points and sounders form one system, events go instantly to the police-run monitoring station, and installers added devices by scanning QR codes with minimal disruption to the fit-out. In Australia hospital fire systems are governed by the building's fire engineering and Australian Standards; what carries over is how little disruption a wireless layer causes in a live clinical building.

Electrical contractors association office in New Brunswick protected by an integrated Ajax system

Office security with intrusion, fire detection and cameras in one app

A trade association's headquarters wanted intrusion detection with monitoring, early fire detection and enough visibility to verify alarms without sending someone every time. Opening, shock and tilt detectors cover the entries, photo-verifying motion detectors capture a burst of images within seconds of an alarm, turret cameras record to an NVR, and a touchscreen keypad handles staff arming by phone, card or code. A MultiTransmitter leaves room to connect other wired devices. Everything, including the fire detectors, is managed through a single app with the same logic, which is why staff with no security training can run it. Our office security page is the Perth version.

WAH immersive show venue at IFEMA Madrid covered by Ajax BulletCam and TurretCam cameras

Event venue CCTV: 97 cameras recording in 4K across a 5,000 square metre show

A three-act dinner show in Madrid draws about a thousand people a night and stores lighting rigs, instruments, costumes and props across a food hall, theatre and after-show zone of about 5,000 square metres. Twenty bullet and 77 turret cameras at 8 MP cover staff entrances, main and VIP entries, emergency exits, the loading dock and costume storage, recording to seven 16-channel NVRs. The venue's conditions were strict data protection and cybersecurity, met with passwordless authentication and encrypted transmission. Perth venues and licensed premises get the same design principles at a smaller scale.

Keeping what you already have: wired detectors, old cameras, your own app

The question every Perth business asks is whether a new system means ripping out the old one. Across the 55 stories the answer is usually no. Six of the examples above kept wired detectors or cameras through Ajax integration modules; this one went further and plugged the whole system into the company's own software.

MacPaw office in Kyiv where an old wired alarm was migrated onto an Ajax Hub 2 Plus

Office security upgrade that kept the wired detectors and talks to the company's own app

A software company's 3,350 square metre office had grown into a patchwork: an old wired alarm on one side, first-generation Ajax detectors bridged into it on the other, a separate access control system and a smart lighting and shutter system. The upgrade replaced the old panel with a Hub 2 Plus, re-enrolled the existing wireless detectors directly, brought the wired detectors in through a MultiTransmitter, added leak detection, and then used Ajax's API to surface security events inside the app every employee already had on their iPhone. The security team can now see signal and battery levels and adjust sensitivity remotely. If you have a working Bosch, DSC or Tecom panel, this is the migration path we would discuss.

Twelve mechanisms worth borrowing from these Ajax security system examples

Strip away the industries and the same handful of tricks keep appearing. All of them are standard Ajax devices and scenarios, not custom engineering.

  • Relay reboots for frozen machines Washers, dryers and card readers power-cycled from the app instead of a drive to the shop (our Wash House story and the Portuguese laundries).
  • Doors on a schedule A relay and a door holder open the shop on time and lock it at night, with the alarm confirming both in the app.
  • Standby power cut at close Machines, menu screens and climate control switch off when the system arms, back on when it disarms.
  • Tilt sensors on things that are not doors Mannequins, display cabinets, exhibits and even a fuel cap, using the shock and tilt functions of an opening detector.
  • Photo before dispatch A burst of images with every alarm so the monitoring centre only sends a patrol for a real intruder.
  • A cancel button for burnt toast Five minutes to press a Button after smoke is detected, delaying the interconnected alarm and the fire department call-out.
  • Camera feed pops on alarm A scenario that opens the relevant camera in the app the moment a detector trips.
  • Scheduled arming The system arms itself at a set time if staff forget, which Kubota used across a whole distribution yard.
  • Leak detectors that close the valve LeaksProtect under sinks and boilers paired with WaterStop valves on the risers.
  • Air quality drives the plant CO₂ readings start and stop ventilation, or open a window actuator, with no building management system.
  • A second path if jammed A VHF bridge or a second SIM so a jamming attack is reported rather than silent.
  • Existing kit kept MultiTransmitter and Transmitter modules bring wired detectors, call points and probes into the new system; existing cameras record through an Ajax NVR.

Questions we get asked about these Ajax use cases

Are these Ajax security system examples from Australia?

One of them is ours, The Wash House Launderette in Perth, which Ajax published in October 2026. The other 55 are from Ajax's customer stories in Europe, the Americas, India, New Zealand and the Arctic. We include them because the problems, such as a building you cannot cable, a site with no power or a shop with nobody in it, are identical in WA, and the device recipes transfer directly.

Can Great White Security install the same Ajax setups in Perth?

Yes for the vast majority of what is on this page: wireless intrusion detection, photo verification, relays and automation scenarios, outdoor perimeter detectors, leak detection, air quality monitoring, Ajax cameras and NVRs, and integration of existing wired devices. A few stories use product lines that Ajax lists as unavailable in our region at the time of writing, and some rely on European fire certifications. We say so in the entry and design an Australian equivalent.

What about the fire detection in these stories?

Several examples use Ajax's European fire-certified line. Those certifications are not Australian Standards, so we do not present Ajax fire detectors as a replacement for a building's compliant fire system in WA. Where early-warning smoke, heat and CO detection adds value, we install it alongside the building's fire system and make the distinction clear in writing.

How many devices can one Ajax hub run?

The Hub 2 Plus used in most of these stories supports up to 200 devices, 25 security groups and 200 users, with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two SIM cards. Range extenders double the radio reach, which is how a single hub covered a 21,800 square metre arena, a three-building museum and a 35-floor tower in the examples above.

Do the automation features need a separate smart building system?

No. The relays, power switches, leak valves and air quality monitors are Ajax devices on the same hub as the alarm, and scenarios are configured in the Ajax app. That is why a 17-relay launderette or a clinic with automated gates did not need a building management system.

Where do the photos on this page come from?

Every photo is from the Ajax Systems customer story it sits next to, used with attribution, and each entry links to the original story as its source. The Wash House photo is from Ajax's story about our installation.

Which of these looks like your site?

Tell us the problem, not the product. We will tell you which of these 56 examples is closest, what the device list looks like for a WA business, and what it would take to install it without cabling the building.
