Ajax Security Systems Cairns

The crime reality in Cairns

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s the local data, and it’s why so many of our neighbours are asking about monitored alarms right now.

The pattern our team sees most often is opportunistic entry through an unlocked door, an open window, or a poorly lit side access — exactly the gaps a monitored Ajax system is designed to close.

Most of those homes had never thought they’d be a target. If you’ve been thinking about a security system, talking to us costs nothing and protects everything.

What it means for your household:

• See what’s happening, not just a notification. Photo verification sends images of an event to your phone in seconds, so you know whether it’s a real intruder or the cat.
• Stays on through a blackout. The hub keeps running on backup battery — through power outages and the cyclone-season events we get in FNQ.
• Built for tropical conditions. Outdoor sensors are rated for humidity, heat and storms, so they keep working when cheaper systems start misbehaving.
• Pets stay welcome. Motion sensors ignore cats, dogs and visiting possums, so you can arm the system without locking the dog out.
• Long battery life. Most sensors run for around seven years on a single set of batteries — no yearly ladder-climbing.
• Covers the whole property. Wireless range handles large blocks, sheds and detached structures without extra hardware.
• Made in Europe, not China. NDAA-compliant, strict European security standards, and no concerns about data sovereignty.

Sensors

Detection that knows the difference

• MotionProtect — indoor motion sensor that detects people moving through your home while ignoring pets up to 20 kilograms. No false alarms from the dog walking around at night, and no more getting out of bed to check a generic notification.
• MotionCam — the motion sensor with a built-in camera. It detects movement and sends a photo series to your phone within seconds, so you see what’s happening — not just a generic alert. You’ll know whether it’s a real intruder or a possum on the roof before you decide what to do.
• MotionCam Outdoor — the weatherproof version for carports, patios and side gates. Gives you the same photo verification outdoors, and is rated for FNQ humidity, heat and storm seasons, so it keeps working when cheaper units start misbehaving.
• DoorProtect — a slim door and window sensor that knows the moment something opens. Runs for around seven years on a single battery, so you install it once and forget about it — perfect for renters, owners, and the upstairs windows you don’t open often.
• GlassProtect — listens for the specific frequency of breaking glass from up to nine metres away, while filtering out barking dogs, traffic, TV and storms. It catches the one event that matters and ignores the noise.
• LeaksProtect — a tiny water leak sensor that spots burst pipes, leaking washing machines or air conditioning condensate overflow before they become a flood. Pairs with an automatic water shutoff if you want one. Particularly useful for FNQ homes with upstairs bathrooms, or for holiday houses that sit empty between visits.

Cameras

See what’s happening, in real time

• MotionCam Indoor — the photo-verification sensor above also acts as a camera. Snapshots arrive in your phone within seconds of any detected movement, so you’re never left guessing whether to act.
• MotionCam Outdoor (PhOD) — outdoor photo verification plus Photo on Demand. Check on the front patio, the pool area or the side gate from your phone whenever you want — not just when an alarm triggers. The outdoor security camera setup that gives you eyes on the property without a monthly subscription.
• DoorBell — a smart video doorbell that shows you who’s at the front door from anywhere — work, the shops, on holiday. Two-way audio means you can talk to a courier or a visitor without opening the door. AI recognition tells you whether it’s a person, a vehicle or the neighbourhood cat. It keeps working even when your Wi-Fi drops.

Alarms and sirens

When something does happen

• HomeSiren — an indoor siren adjustable from around 80 to 98 decibels, so it can be loud enough to scare off an intruder without being overkill for a small unit. Doubles as a door chime when you arm or disarm, so you get a friendly confirmation sound as part of everyday use.
• StreetSiren — a loud outdoor siren with a built-in LED flash, built for FNQ conditions. Humidity, heat and storms don’t phase it. Most opportunistic intruders leave the moment this goes off — the deterrent effect does most of the work.
• Hub backup battery — the brain of the system keeps running through blackouts, with some hub models giving you more than 60 hours of backup. Means your home alarm system stays on through cyclone-season power outages, not just everyday ones.
