In 2018, Ajax Systems decided to expand the uses of the Ajax security system to the protection of large and complex premises. With the introduction of OS Malevich updates, Ajax Systems have added features such as group mode, user access management, and personal keyboard passwords—an important feature for the corporate sector and large private properties. Ajax then released the advanced Hub Plus with 4 communication channels, support for 150 devices and 99 users, ready to provide security for the most complex premises. Today Ajax Systems present ReX, the intelligent hub range extender. ReX increases the maximum connection distance up to two times, allowing Ajax...

OS Malevich 2.7 is the next step in the evolution of Ajax. The new firmware version increases the protection capabilities of the security systems and adds useful features for which Ajax owners and security companies have been asking.   SIA protocol for connecting to the CMS Hub and Hub Plus with updated OS Malevich 2.7 can transmit alarms to the central monitoring station via SIA protocol. Support of this communication protocol ensures that Ajax is compatible with the monitoring consoles that use most of the security and service companies in Western Europe. Thus, millions of people will have the opportunity to...

Hubs with firmware version Hub OS Malevich 2.7 and higher can communicate alarms and events directly to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) using the Contact ID and SIA protocols bypassing the Ajax Cloud server. SIA — is a two-way protocol for communication with the CMS that provides for AES 128-bit encryption. When using the SIA protocol, the Ajax Translator is not required to communicate hub events to the station.   ⚠️ Communication of events in SIA format is feasible if the CMS software supports this protocol. In order to receive events from hubs using SIA protocol Configure reception of events on the CMS and specify the encryption...

Radio communication is regarded as the main vulnerability of wireless security systems. It can presumably be easily jammed using equipment that can be purchased “at every corner,” and without radio communication, the alarm system is deprived of the opportunity to resist the intruders. Consequently, the facility becomes defenseless. This article dispels the myths about jammers, talks about their real capabilities, and how counteraction is implemented in Ajax for this type of sabotage. How radio communication is “jammed” Jamming represents unlawful creation of interference within radio channels. It is used to prevent communication of alarms within wireless security systems. Devices for jamming...

The detection time of communication failure with the server depends on two parameters in the Hub settings (Hub → Settings (⚙️) → Service): Server Ping Interval. The period of the pings by the Hub to the Ajax Cloud server, is set in the range from 10 to 300 seconds. The recommended and default value is 30 seconds. Connection Failure Alarm Delay. This is the delay required to reduce the risk of a false event of loss of communication with the server. The delay can be adjusted from 30 to 600 seconds. The recommended and default value is 300 seconds.The connection delay is activated...
