The Ukrainian connected security giant has just struck a major blow! At a much-anticipated press conference, Ajax Systems unveiled a series of innovations that promise to shake up the security market in 2025. And the least we can say is that the brand hasn't done things by halves! Between a complete restructuring of its range, the launch of a revolutionary outdoor detector and the introduction of new cutting-edge technologies, Ajax Systems confirms its position as technological leader in the field. With no fewer than 30 new products launched each year, the brand continues its unbridled growth while simplifying its approach. Gone are the complex parts lists, replaced by clear, intuitive segmentation that will delight professionals and end-users alike. As I'm personally a fan of the brand, it's fair to say that this conference was fascinating! Come on, I'll take you on a detailed tour of these new products, which will redefine the standards of connected security.
A major restructuring of the range
Ajax Systems is undertaking a complete overhaul of its product portfolio for the transitional year 2025. The restructuring aims to simplify understanding of the range for both professionals and end-users.
The new catalog is now organized around four main categories: intrusion protection, fire and life safety, comfort and automation, and video surveillance. This more intuitive organization makes it easier to navigate the Ajax ecosystem.
Intrusion protection, the largest category, is now divided into two distinct lines: Baseline and Superior. The Baseline line brings together Jeweller wireless devices designed exclusively for intrusion protection. The Superior line includes both Jeweller wireless devices and Fibra wired solutions, particularly suited to large-scale projects.
A notable change also concerns product nomenclature. While the names of Baseline products remain unchanged, Superior products have adopted a new, more logical and immediately identifiable name. Fibra and Jeweller communication protocols are now clearly indicated in product names, putting an end to any possible confusion.
This restructuring is accompanied by an important development: Superior line products now require in-depth training and are reserved exclusively for accredited partners. Nevertheless, the two product lines remain perfectly compatible with each other and with all other Ajax categories, guaranteeing maximum flexibility in system configuration.
A new look for perimeter protection
After three years of intensive development, Ajax Systems unveils its new Curtain Outdoor Jeweller, a curtain-type motion detector specially designed for outdoor perimeter protection.
This little technological gem features an optical system developed entirely in-house, with triple-validation detection: two infrared sensors coupled with a K-band microwave sensor. This approach guarantees ultra-precise detection while limiting false alarms.
Flexibility also comes into play, with three different detection modes. The first two, designed for enhanced protection, enable installation at a height of 2.4 meters, with no blind spot (perfect for preventing crawling attempts). The third mode, installed at a height of 1 metre, incorporates a pet immunity function.
In terms of range, the detector offers two options: 8 or 12 meters, with an ultra-precise 8-degree horizontal angle of vision. This configuration enables targeted protection of sensitive areas such as doors, windows or arches, while avoiding nuisance triggers.
The Curtain Outdoor Jeweller also boasts IP55 protection and a particularly sophisticated anti-sabotage system. It detects masking attempts (paint on the lens, adhesive tape) and incorporates a weather protection cap, an anti-sabotage button and an accelerometer.
Autonomy is not to be outdone, with up to 3 years of operation on the pre-installed battery. Communication is via Jeweller and Wings protocols, offering an impressive range of up to 1700 meters.
Installation is particularly flexible: surface mounting, angular bracket included, and even compatibility with third-party brackets.
This new solution completes Ajax's range of curtain-type detectors, which now includes three models: the new Curtain Outdoor Jeweller, the existing Dual Curtain Outdoor Jeweller, and the Motion Protect Curtain Jeweller for indoor use.
Photo verification goes HD
Ajax Systems takes visual verification to a whole new level! Motion detectors with integrated cameras now enable alarm verification in just 9 seconds. (Faster than pulling out your smartphone to check what's going on!)
The existing MotionCam range benefits from a major upgrade with the integration of HDR technology, a new optical system and a latest-generation CMOS sensor. These improvements deliver significantly clearer, more detailed images, even in difficult lighting conditions.
But the real star of this evolution is the new MotionCam HD Superior. This revolutionary detector, based on the MotionCam S Jeweller model, retains all the qualities that made its predecessor such a success: efficient motion detection, photo-on-demand function, excellent battery life and reliable communication.
What makes it truly unique is its next-generation photo verification system. In addition to HDR technology, it supports high-definition imaging that eliminates overexposed and underexposed areas. The results are stunning: perfectly sharp faces, surgically precise detail, legible text and true-to-life colors.
And that's not all! The next product update will integrate the TurboWings protocol, which will quite simply double data transfer speeds. No more waiting: just open the incident and instantly see what's happening on site.
HDR-equipped detectors are already available to order in certain regions, and will be available worldwide from the first quarter of 2025. MotionCam HD Superior will follow the same deployment schedule.
Audio revolutionizes doubt detection
Audio verification enters the Ajax ecosystem with the Speakerphone Jeweller, the brand's first-ever audio interpellation module. This innovation will be of particular interest to telesurveillance centers seeking to optimize their enquiry processes.
The new device enables direct voice communication between the monitoring center and the protected site. In the event of an alarm, the operator can immediately contact the premises to assess the situation in real time, request a password or determine the cause of the alarm.
Audio verification offers a major advantage over traditional telephone calls: it works even if the customer is absent or unable to respond. This approach, already widely adopted in France, Germany, Spain and Scandinavia, is now becoming available to companies worldwide thanks to Ajax.
The Jeweller Speakerphone is particularly relevant for elderly people or those requiring medical assistance. Combined with a wireless button, it transforms into a genuine emergency call system. (A feature that could well revolutionize the remote assistance market!)
In the event of a proven intrusion, the operator can not only dispatch an intervention team to the scene, but also dissuade intruders by telling them to leave the premises via the audio module. This direct voice intervention capability adds a new dimension to the security of protected sites.
This innovation perfectly complements Ajax's other alarm verification methods, such as visual verification via MotionCam detectors and video surveillance cameras.
A revolutionary battery-powered control unit
Ajax Systems innovates once again with the Hub BP Jeweller, an alarm control unit that redefines power supply standards. No more worries about electrical connections! This new control unit is exclusively battery-powered, the first of its kind from this manufacturer, and one that has been eagerly awaited.
The Hub BP Jeweller offers a unique modular approach to power supply. It incorporates two separate battery compartments: one for internal batteries, the other for external batteries. This configuration allows total flexibility in autonomy management.
The control unit can operate with different battery configurations. In the standard version, it uses two internal batteries, already offering impressive autonomy. For installations requiring extended autonomy, two additional external batteries can be added. (A real asset for isolated sites or temporary installations!)
This innovation meets a crucial market need: the ability to install a professional alarm control unit in locations with no permanent power supply. Whether you need to secure a building site, a holiday home or an isolated site, the BP Jeweller Hub provides an elegant and effective solution.
The system incorporates advanced energy management features. The control unit automatically optimizes consumption according to usage and environmental conditions. It constantly monitors the state of the batteries, alerting users well before replacement is required.
In terms of performance, this control unit makes no compromises. It retains all the features that have made other Hub models so successful: management of up to 100 peripherals, two-way Jeweller communication, radio range up to 2000 meters, and compatibility with the entire Ajax ecosystem.
The Hub BP Jeweller will be available on the market in the first quarter of 2025.
The new NF A2P-certified sirens
NF A2P certification, long-awaited by French professionals, finally arrives in the Ajax range! The Superior Street Siren Plus Jeweller and Superior Street Siren Plus Fibra sirens open the certification ball, marking an important step in the brand's development on the French market.
These new sirens are certified NF A2P 2 shields, attesting to their high level of safety and reliability. This certification is particularly important for professional installations, especially in the context of insurance contracts, which often require certified equipment.
In addition to sirens, several other products in the Ajax range have also earned the invaluable NF A2P 2 shield certification. These include the Hub Hybrid (in 2G and 4G versions, available in white and black), the MotionCam Fibra detector, MotionProtect Plus Fibra and the HomeSiren Fibra indoor siren.
This wave of certifications testifies to Ajax Systems' commitment to meeting the requirements of the French market. Certified products are particularly well suited to professional installations requiring a high level of security, such as shops, businesses or high-end residences.
NF A2P certification not only guarantees compliance with European EN50131 standards, but also imposes additional requirements specific to the French market.
Home automation joins the Ajax ecosystem
The Ajax ecosystem is not limited to security! The brand now offers a complete range of home automation products to automate and control electrical equipment in the home.
Socket Jeweller connected sockets are the cornerstone of this home automation offering. Equipped with a real-time energy consumption monitoring system, they enable not only remote control of the devices connected to them, but also precise monitoring of their power consumption. An LED indicator on the socket even changes color according to the load, providing an immediate visualization of consumption.
Safety is not forgotten with these smart plugs. In the event of an overload or voltage spike, they switch off automatically to protect the devices connected to them. (A real plus when it comes to avoiding accidents in the home!)
WallSwitch connected switches complete the range with impressive capabilities. Installed directly on the 110V~/230V~ power supply, they enable precise control of the opening and closing of electrical circuits.
But it's in automation scenarios that these devices really come into their own. Just imagine: the lights going off automatically when you activate your alarm, the heating being switched on remotely before you get home, or the coffee maker starting up by itself in the morning.
All this equipment communicates via the Jeweller radio protocol, guaranteeing exceptional range of up to 1700 meters and optimum security thanks to data encryption. Configured scenarios even continue to run in the event of loss of Internet connection.
Ajax's foray into home automation demonstrates the brand's determination to offer a complete ecosystem, where security and comfort are perfectly combined. The possibilities are virtually infinite: from garage door control to electric lock management, from heating regulation to automated lighting.
