Wireless security with visual alarm verification, Photo on Demand, and an easy-to-use mobile app for construction projects, businesses, and homes.
After nearly 30 years in the security industry, I've worked with countless alarm systems. While every system has its strengths, I wanted to offer my customers a platform that combined professional-grade protection with simple everyday operation. Ajax delivers exactly that.
I believe seeing what caused an alarm is just as important as knowing an alarm occurred. Features like Visual Alarm Verification and Photo on Demand help reduce uncertainty, allowing you to quickly understand what's happening at your property and make informed decisions.
Just as importantly, Ajax fits the way I do business. My goal isn't to install a system and disappear—it's to build long-term relationships by recommending the right solution, providing remote guidance, and being here whenever you need support.

When a compatible MotionCam detects an alarm, it automatically captures a series of images and sends them to authorized users and, when professional monitoring is enabled, to the monitoring center. Instead of guessing what triggered an alarm, you can quickly see what's happening.
Visual Alarm Verification helps you determine whether an alarm is caused by an intruder, an employee arriving early, wildlife, or another non-emergency event. Having context allows you to respond appropriately without unnecessary uncertainty.
When professional monitoring is enabled, alarm photos help operators better understand the situation before contacting you or dispatching emergency services. This additional context helps operators make more informed response decisions while reducing unnecessary dispatches when an alarm isn't a true emergency.

Compatible Ajax MotionCam devices allow authorized users to request a photo at any time—without triggering an alarm. Whether you're checking on a construction site after hours, confirming a business is secure, or making sure everything looks normal at home, Photo on Demand provides an extra level of confidence right from the Ajax app.
Only users you authorize can request photos. Administrators control who has access, helping protect privacy while ensuring trusted users have the information they need.
Instead of driving to the property or asking someone to check on it, you can quickly verify conditions from your phone. It's a simple way to verify conditions, save time, and make informed decisions before taking further action.
MotionCam isn't a security camera. It only captures images during an alarm event—or when using Photo on Demand with compatible models—helping protect privacy while still providing visual verification.

Requested by an authorized user during normal daytime conditions.

Requested by an authorized user after dark without triggering an alarm.
Automatically captured during an alarm event and sent to authorized users and the monitoring center when professional monitoring is enabled.
Automatically captured during an alarm event, providing visual verification even in complete darkness.
Every property is different, but these are some of the most common questions I receive about Ajax systems. Please reach us at des@directendsecurity.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Ajax MotionCam Outdoor can detect motion up to 49 feet (15 meters) when properly installed. Detection range depends on mounting height, angle, and the environment, so I'll recommend the best placement to provide reliable coverage while minimizing false alarms.
Ajax MotionCam can detect motion up to 39 feet (12 meters). During system design, I'll recommend placement that provides the coverage you need while helping reduce false alarms.
Yes. Ajax MotionCam devices use built-in infrared illumination to capture clear alarm photos even in complete darkness.
MotionCam devices detect motion and capture a series of photos showing what triggered the event. Depending on the installation, those images may include people, vehicles, animals, or other sources of movement, allowing you to quickly see what caused the alarm.
Arm and disarm your system, receive instant notifications, request Photo on Demand images, check device status, view alarm photos, and manage your system from virtually anywhere.
Yes. You can invite family members, employees, or trusted users and choose exactly what permissions each person has.
Absolutely. Whether you're across town or across the country, you can arm, disarm, view notifications, request photos, and manage your Ajax system directly from the app.
Yes. Ajax devices are completely wireless, making them easy to relocate if your layout changes or your needs evolve.
Yes. Most customers start with the devices they need today and expand their system over time as their needs change.
Every property is different. I'll recommend the right number, placement, and device types based on your layout and what you're protecting.
Yes. Ajax supports self-monitoring through the mobile app, allowing you to receive instant notifications and manage your system yourself.
Yes. Professional monitoring is available 24/7 through Direct End Security. When an alarm occurs, trained operators follow your response instructions and contact emergency services when appropriate.
Ajax systems can communicate using Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and/or cellular, providing multiple communication paths for increased reliability.
Ajax hubs include a built-in backup battery, and battery-powered wireless devices continue operating normally during a power outage.
Most Ajax wireless devices have battery lives measured in years rather than months. Battery life varies by device and usage, and you'll receive notifications well before replacement is needed.
Yes. Many of my customers install their systems themselves with my remote guidance. If you'd prefer professional installation, I can also help coordinate that.
Absolutely. Ajax is flexible enough to protect temporary construction projects, commercial properties, and residential homes using the same reliable platform.
No two properties are exactly alike. That's why every Ajax system is customized using the right combination of security devices for your property. The products shown here are the devices I most commonly recommend, but they represent only a portion of the Ajax ecosystem. If your project requires something different, I'll recommend the devices that make the most sense for your specific needs.
Whether you're protecting a construction project, business, or home, I'd be happy to help design a system around your specific needs.
