South Island support for Ajax security systems

Auckland-based distributor Net Alarms Limited appoints Christchurch-based Viewtech as sub-distributor for Ajax security systems, ensuring a high standard of South Island supply and support.

Ajax professional security systems are designed and manufactured in Europe and have earned a reputation for outstanding reliability and exceptional range, with up to an incredible 2,000 metres between hub and some detectors in unobstructed space.

Programming and installation are performed via the Ajax PRO App prior to handing over access to the user. All data is located securely on Amazon servers, and installation and maintenance can also be managed via the Ajax PRO Desktop. Ajax Apps can be downloaded free of charge and have no ongoing fees.

Ajax devices are powered by preloaded primary lithium batteries, and the energy-efficient radio protocol keeps some devices running for up to an impressive seven years between battery changes.

Programming capabilities include the ability to create up to 25 groups (partitions), setting schedules and scenarios, system access and control, as well as connecting third party camera live view into the Ajax App. The Ajax system can be expanded to include fire and flood protection, as well as automation via wireless 12V and 230V relays.

Although notifications and alerts are sent immediately to the user’s smartphone, professional monitoring is still an option taken up by many Ajax users, and this can be set up by the installer directly from within the App.

In 2021, Ajax Systems became the largest manufacturer of security systems in Europe, almost doubling its revenue. Since 2018 and up until this year Auckland-based Net Alarms Limited has been the dedicated New Zealand distributor of Ajax alarm systems to professional installers. But with exploding growth and a growing range, Christchurch based Viewtech has been recently appointed Ajax subdistributor for the brand.

“The timing was perfect for Darren and the Viewtech team to come onboard with Ajax,” says Net Alarms director Gareth Butcher, “as the brand has exponentially grown we were looking for a strategic partner to maintain a high standard of supply and support – and this is exactly what Viewtech offers. With a team of experts and the added benefit of a South Island warehouse it just made a lot of sense.”

With representation at this year’s Facilities Integrate Mega show in Auckland, Net Alarms and Viewtech joined forces to present the latest Ajax devices and capabilities to a techhungry audience.

The Ajax range has expanded to broader commercial oriented solutions, such as the MultiTransmitter, which enables existing hard-wired devices to be fully integrated into the Ajax system. The Ajax RFID Keypad Plus with DESfire tags and passes builds on the existing range of outdoor perimeter security to include the Ajax MotionCam outdoor and DualCurtain Outdoor.

With a roadmap full of exciting new Ajax products and solutions for security in a wide range of industries, this is one brand to watch closely.
