Apartment living comes with unique security challenges, from shared entry points to the density of residents. For years, security meant clunky, wired alarms that were inflexible and offered little protection beyond a front door sensor. Today, residents and building managers need smarter, more comprehensive solutions.
Ajax security systems deliver wireless protection that goes far beyond a traditional alarm by allowing for the tailored integration of different security functions. This gives you peace of mind whether you're at home or away.
Here’s what sets Ajax apart for apartment living:
I'm Dave Symons, Managing Director at DASH Symons Group. With over 16 years of experience, we've seen that the best security adapts to how you live. Ajax offers a level of control and integration that gives residents a simpler, more powerful way to stay safe.
Apartment living offers convenience, but dense living in shared buildings creates unique security risks. Traditional wired alarm systems are often outdated, providing only basic intrusion detection while being inflexible and expensive to install. They fall short of addressing other common hazards or offering the remote control modern residents expect.
Today, the demand is for smart, integrated security that does more. Residents want systems that are robust against intruders and proactive against other threats, all while fitting seamlessly into daily life. We believe security should improve your living experience, not complicate it. Modern solutions like Ajax provide this peace of mind through real-time alerts and a comprehensive suite of detectors that work together to safeguard your space.
When you think of apartment security, you might picture a simple door sensor. But more than this, Ajax Security Systems create a customisable ecosystem that protects against multiple threats.
Ajax covers a broad spectrum of apartment safety. Intrusion detection is the foundation, but the system is designed to integrate with video surveillance and smart automation, with handy features incuding Leak Detection. This approach of building a tailored, unified system is what sets it apart from older, fragmented Alarm Systems.
The system is highly scalable, supporting up to 200 devices from a single hub. This makes it a flexible choice for everything from a studio apartment to a multi-level penthouse, creating truly Integrated Security Solutions.
Security equipment shouldn't be an eyesore. Ajax devices feature a modern, minimalist design that blends into any apartment décor. You won't have to hide these sensors behind furniture.
Installation is fast and clean. At DASH Symons, we pre-program your entire system before we arrive, which significantly reduces on-site installation time. Using the proprietary Jeweller radio protocol, wireless devices communicate reliably without needing cables run through your walls. For new construction, the wired Fibra option provides the same advanced features with the reliability of a hardwired connection.
Because the system is wireless, it's also portable. If you're a renter, you can often take your Ajax system with you when you move, protecting your investment.
The Ajax app turns your smartphone into a complete command centre for your home's security. Available for iOS and Android, it gives you total control from anywhere in the world.
With the app, you can:
One of the most powerful features is photo verification (PhoD). MotionCam detectors can send a series of photos to your phone when an alarm is triggered, letting you instantly see what's happening. This helps you confirm a real threat and avoid false alarms, especially with pet-friendly sensors that ignore small animals. You can find more info about Ajax apps on their official website.
The Ajax hub, the brain of the system, stays connected using multiple channels to ensure reliability. It can connect to the internet via Ethernet and Wi-Fi, with some models also including dual-SIM cellular backup (4G/LTE). If one connection fails, it instantly switches to another, so your apartment is never left unprotected.
For an added layer of security, we offer optional professional monitoring services with no lock-in contracts. These include:
At DASH Symons Group, our 16 years of experience have shown us that the best security is professionally designed and installed by licenced technicians. But we don't just install alarms; we build cohesive systems by connecting various Ajax technologies to suit your specific needs.
We also link Intercom Systems and Access Control Systems, so you can manage visitor access and secure entry points from your phone.
It is important to understand that this integration is a custom, technical process, not a simple 'plug-and-play' solution. Success depends on component compatibility and professional configuration, as there can be brand-specific limitations. Our expertise ensures the systems that matter to you work together reliably, creating a unified solution tailored to your specific needs and avoiding the fragmented results of a DIY approach.

Great security requires ongoing commitment. Our DASH Care Plan (DCP) is a comprehensive preventative maintenance program designed to keep your Ajax system and all integrated components operating flawlessly.
The DCP includes regular system health checks, proactive maintenance, and fast repairs to minimise downtime. For residents and building managers, the DCP means lasting peace of mind, knowing your security is always in expert hands.
When we say smart security, we are referring to specific features that deliver tangible benefits for both residents and building managers.
Convenience and Deterrence Through Automation
Ajax goes beyond simple alarms with its powerful automation scenarios. For example, you can configure the system to automatically turn on lights when the alarm is disarmed, adding convenience to your arrival. You can also create schedules to simulate occupancy while you are away on holiday, which acts as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders.
Flexible Installation for Any Building Type
Ajax's wireless technology is a significant advantage in apartment settings, especially in heritage-listed buildings where running new cables is not feasible. The system provides modern, robust protection without the need for disruptive or damaging wiring. This flexibility ensures that a high level of security can be achieved in any environment.
Your apartment deserves smarter, more reliable security. If you're ready to see how smart security can work with you, we can design a solution custom to your needs.
At DASH Symons Group, we've spent over 16 years implementing cutting-edge security for apartments, high-rises, and body corporates across Queensland. We are expert integrators who understand the challenges of shared living spaces. We specialise in creating tailored systems that bring together alarms, CCTV, Access Control Systems, and Intercom Systems for centralised management and enhanced security.
