Ajax Security Cameras: Your Complete Guide to Smart Surveillance
Secure your home or business with advanced ajax security camera systems. Explore smart features, AI, and professional setup.

Why Smart Video Surveillance is More Than Just a Camera

Ajax security camera systems are a new generation of intelligent surveillance, moving far beyond traditional CCTV. Instead of just recording footage, Ajax cameras integrate into a complete security ecosystem. This delivers real-time alerts, AI-powered detection, and simple management through a single app.

What makes Ajax security cameras different:

  • Three specialised models - TurretCam, BulletCam, and DomeCam Mini for different environments
  • AI-powered detection - Reduces false alarms by distinguishing between humans, pets, and vehicles
  • Professional-grade features - 5MP and 8MP resolution, IP65 weatherproofing, and up to 50m IR night vision
  • Seamless integration - Works with Ajax alarms, NVRs, and smart home devices
  • Privacy-first design - Features passwordless authentication and encrypted storage
  • Flexible installation - Power-over-Ethernet or 12V power with quick QR code setup

Traditional CCTV systems often struggle with security vulnerabilities and privacy risks. Ajax addresses these issues with on-camera AI processing, encrypted storage only the owner can access, and multi-tiered account security.

Modern security requires intelligent, integrated solutions. Ajax cameras sync with system events, allowing for custom recording scenarios. For example, when a detector triggers an alarm, the cameras can automatically start recording to provide immediate visual confirmation.

At DASH Symons Group, we bring over 16 years of experience in designing and implementing sophisticated security solutions, including ajax security camera systems. Our expertise ensures that a well-designed system provides peace of mind without the frustration.

A Closer Look at the Ajax Security Camera Ecosystem

At the heart of the Ajax camera experience is proprietary technology designed for efficiency and reliability. Ajax uses its JetSparrow video streaming technology to ensure you get a fast, smooth video feed whether you're watching live or reviewing recordings, without buffering.

Beyond seamless streaming, these cameras are equipped with sophisticated imaging capabilities:

  • High-Definition Video: With 5MP and 8MP sensors, the cameras capture detailed visuals critical for identifying people or objects from a distance.
  • True WDR Technology: This technology balances high-contrast light and shadow, so details aren't lost in bright or dark spots—perfect for entrances facing the sun.
  • IR Night Vision: Integrated IR LEDs provide clear black-and-white images in complete darkness, with a range of up to 50 metres on TurretCam and BulletCam models.
  • Integrated Microphone: Each camera includes a microphone to capture audio, adding important context to your video footage.

One of the most powerful features is Ajax's AI-powered motion detection. Unlike traditional systems that trigger false alarms from swaying branches, Ajax's AI can distinguish between humans, pets, and vehicles. This means you only receive alerts for events that matter, making your security system smarter and more effective. You can also set up activity zones to focus monitoring on critical areas.

This combination of advanced hardware and intelligent software ensures your ajax security camera system is an active part of a smarter security solution. For more on how integrated systems improve overall security, explore our insights on Integrated Security Solutions.

Uncompromising Security and Privacy by Design

In today's connected world, the security and privacy of your surveillance data are paramount. Ajax has designed its cameras with a robust framework to protect your information.

A key feature is passwordless authentication using mTLS. This advanced method uses encrypted certificates to connect devices to the cloud, eliminating the risk of stolen passwords.

Ajax cameras also incorporate several layers of privacy and data security:

  • Encrypted Local Storage: Footage stored on a microSD card is encrypted, so it remains private even if the camera is stolen.
  • Granular User Access: The Ajax app's "Privacy tab" gives you precise control over who can view streams, access recordings, or listen to audio.
  • Multi-Tiered Account Security: Your account is protected with features like two-factor authentication (2FA), session control, and biometric login options.
  • No Backdoors and NDAA Compliance: Ajax guarantees no hidden backdoors in its systems and is NDAA-compliant, meeting strict security standards.

We believe security and privacy must coexist. The thoughtful design of every ajax security camera provides peace of mind that your system is not only effective but also secure.

Simple Installation and Power

One of the significant advantages of the Ajax system is its straightforward installation. Cameras can be powered using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which sends both power and data over a single network cable, or a standard 12V power source. Setup is as simple as scanning a QR code with the Ajax app to add the camera to your system.

Flexible Recording and Storage

You have flexible options for managing your video footage:

  • Onboard Storage: Each camera has a microSD card slot (up to 256GB) for encrypted, local storage.
  • Centralised Recording: For larger systems, Ajax Network Video Recorders (NVRs) can connect 8 or 16 cameras, providing a central hub for secure, long-term video archiving.

Seamless System Integration

The true power of an ajax security camera is its ability to work as part of the broader Ajax ecosystem. When an Ajax detector (like a motion or door sensor) triggers an alarm, your cameras can be configured to automatically start recording. This provides instant visual verification of events, helping to reduce false alarms and enabling a faster, more informed response.

Reliable System Connectivity

While the cameras themselves are hardwired for reliability, the Ajax system hub ensures you are always connected. The hub uses multiple communication channels to talk to the outside world:

  • Hardwired Ethernet: For the most stable primary connection.
  • Wi-Fi: As a reliable backup if the Ethernet connection fails.
  • Cellular (4G/LTE): A third layer of redundancy to keep your system online and sending alerts even if your property loses power and internet entirely.

This multi-layered approach ensures your ajax security camera system remains a dependable part of your overall security infrastructure. Learn more about our approach to Professionally Installed Security Systems.
