Melbourne’s Outdoor Security Experts
Why Outdoor Security for Garages, Sheds and Storage Units is Important
Garages, sheds, and storage units are especially vulnerable targets for thieves, often due to their detached location, low visibility, and lack of strong security. In Melbourne’s suburbs, where detached garages and backyard sheds are common, the risk of break-ins rises sharply—especially from alleyways or side gates.
High-Value Targets
Power tools, bikes, and vehicles stored in garages and sheds are prime targets for burglars, with each breach resulting in significant financial losses.
Limited Traditional Security
These spaces often lack robust protection. Standard locks or old alarms rarely deter determined intruders or provide early warning.
Ajax Systems Gaps Closure
Ajax Systems closes these gaps with weatherproof, scalable outdoor detectors and integrated remote monitoring. Protect your tools, vehicles, and valuables with the industry’s most advanced outdoor security—purpose-built for Melbourne homes.

Why Garages & Sheds Are the
Most Targeted Areas
Detached structures are almost always the first target for intruders. Unlike the main house, garages and sheds typically have lower visibility from the street, poorer lighting, and weaker physical security, providing a low-risk opportunity for swift burglaries.
Unsecured High-Value Assets
These spaces often house highly resalable items: expensive power tools, premium bicycles, camping gear, and vehicles. Thieves know that a quick smash-and-grab from a shed yields massive rewards with very little effort.
The Limits of Indoor Alarms
Standard indoor alarms won’t protect detached buildings. By the time an intruder tries to enter your house, they may have already emptied out the garage. Outdoor-specific security stops them at the perimeter—before they ever reach your home.
Why Ajax Outdoor Security Is Perfect for Garages & Sheds
Engineered to protect what matters most in the most challenging environments.
Built for Melbourne Weather
Ajax outdoor devices are IP55-rated, designed to withstand torrential rain, dust, and Melbourne’s frequent 40°C+ summer heat. While traditional sensors “fog up” or false alarm in storms, Ajax remains rock-solid.
Instant Visual Verification
Traditional security fails by only alerting you *after* a breach. Ajax outdoor detectors provide early warning and, with the MotionCam, send real-time photos to your phone in seconds, confirming if it’s a thief—not a stray cat.
Detached Structure Mastery
Protected buildings don’t always have easy wiring. Ajax uses encrypted Jeweller radio tech to secure structures up to 1.7km away, making it the perfect choice for detached garages and farm sheds where traditional cabling isn’t an option.
Smart Motion Detection for Detached Buildings
Ajax outdoor motion detectors use intelligent algorithms to accurately identify threats and eliminate false alarms when securing your garage or shed.
Pet & Animal Immunity
Ajax outdoor detectors ignore animals up to 80cm tall, allowing stray cats, neighborhood dogs, or wildlife to move around your shed without triggering the alarm.
Accurate Human Detection
Dual PIR sensors scan for specific thermal patterns and movement speeds to definitively identify people attempting to access your outer or detached buildings.
Vehicle Interference Filter
Advanced correlation algorithms filter out thermal noise and headlights from passing vehicles, ensuring only genuine proximity threats are flagged.
Weather Resilience
Digital temperature compensation and advanced LISA technology prevent false triggers from extreme heat, heavy rain, or swaying branches near the garage.
Protecting High-Value Items Stored Outdoors
Garages and sheds aren’t just empty rooms—they’re often the most concentrated areas of wealth on your property. Ajax ensures your livelihood and passions stay locked down.
Ajax Outdoor Motion Detection in Small Spaces
People often assume that advanced outdoor motion sensors are meant strictly for massive backyards or large driveways—and that installing one in a cramped shed or garage will lead to constant false alarms. Ajax technology shatters this myth by being completely customizable for micro-environments.
Narrow Garages
Whether your car barely clears the door or you have tight walkways flanked by shelving, Ajax DualCurtain systems project ultra-narrow optical beams. They only trigger if someone breaks the literal threshold—not when you are squeezing past your fender to grab a tool.
Compact Sheds
Even in incredibly tight 2×2 meter tin sheds, Ajax software digitally adjusts sensitivity and effortlessly ignores the sudden, extreme temperature spikes from hot roofs. It secures the internal area precisely without spilling out and sensing movement in your garden.
Small Storage Units
For dense storage lock-ups stacked high to the ceiling with boxes, generic sensors get confused by the short field of view. Ajax allows you to physically mask lenses and digitally cap detection distance right from the app, guaranteeing pinpoint accuracy.
Door & Window Sensors for Outdoor Structures
Ajax contact sensors provide robust, first-line perimeter defense by instantly detecting the opening of garage doors, shed entries, and storage lockers.
Garage Doors (Roller & Sectional)
Standard sensors struggle with the vibration and movement of large garage doors. Using the DoorProtect Plus, you gain built-in tilt and shock sensors that alert you if someone attempts to pry the door open before it even fully breaches. Its specialized design can be securely mounted on both roller and sectional doors, handling everyday vibrations without false alarms.
Shed Entries & Side Gates
Sheds are notorious for flimsy doors that are easily compromised. Installing Ajax magnetic contact sensors immediately registers a forced entry. Their impressive wireless range means that even if your shed is at the very back of an expansive Melbourne property, the signal still reliably reaches the Hub.
Storage Unit Locks
If you’re keeping valuable tools or inventory in a dedicated storage locker, pairing Ajax sensors on the latch or hasp ensures you are immediately notified via the app the second someone breaks the lock. The compact size of the sensor allows for discrete installation in tight outdoor spaces.
Outdoor Sirens and Audible Alerts
An immediate, deafening response to any perimeter breach, ensuring intruders flee before they can cause damage or steal your assets.
Immediate Deterrence
The StreetSiren provides up to 113 dB of ear-piercing sound alongside bright LED strobes, instantly overwhelming an intruder and drawing neighborhood attention the exact moment your garage or shed is breached.
Remote Reassurance
Even if you’re on holiday or at work, the siren automatically triggers locally based on sensor data while simultaneously sending a push notification to your phone. The intruder is scared off without you needing to press a button.
Tamper-Proof Design
Mountable completely out of reach, Ajax sirens feature built-in accelerometers. If an intruder attempts to dismantle or tear the siren off the wall, it immediately triggers the alarm.
Customizable Triggers
Configure exactly which sensors trigger the outdoor siren. Set it so only night-time shed breaches activate the loud alarm, while daytime gate openings just provide a soft chime or app notification.
Weatherproof & Durable Outdoor Devices
Melbourne’s climate can be unforgiving, shifting from scorching 40°C summer days to torrential rain and freezing winter mornings. Ajax outdoor sensors are specifically engineered to thrive in these harsh extremes.
IP55 Rated Enclosures
Every Ajax outdoor detector features an IP55 or higher rating. They are completely sealed against dust ingress and protected from low-pressure water jets and heavy downpours, ensuring internal electronics stay dry.
Extreme Temperature Ready
Unlike generic sensors that “fog up” or falsely trigger as the sun hits them, Ajax devices employ sophisticated digital temperature compensation algorithms. They actively adapt to ambient changes from -25°C up to +60°C.
Anti-Masking Technology
Dirt, mud, rain splashes, or deliberate attempts by intruders to cover the sensor lens with paint or tape are instantly detected and reported via the app. Ajax refuses to be blinded.
Long Battery Life & Low Maintenance
Ajax outdoor sensors are incredibly battery-efficient, requiring minimal upkeep while remaining consistently reliable over years of operation.
Up to 5 Years of Battery Life
Powered by pre-installed, replaceable batteries, Ajax detectors utilize custom energy-saving protocols. Devices can operate for up to 5 years, completely minimizing the need for frequent battery swaps.
Smart Low-Battery Alerts
No more guessing when a battery will die. The Ajax app actively monitors the battery level of every sensor individually and sends you a timely push notification months before a replacement is needed.
Hassle-Free Replacement
Replacing batteries is simple and user-friendly. Just unmount the sensor from the SmartBracket mount, swap out the standard CR123A batteries, and snap it back. No complex tools or technician visits required.
Privacy-Focused Outdoor Security
Securing your outdoor spaces shouldn’t mean compromising your neighbors’ privacy or illegally monitoring public footpaths. Ajax gives you precision control over your detection zones.
Targeted Detection Zones
Devices like the DualCurtain Outdoor feature adjustable detection sectors. You can precisely map the sensors to only look down your side alley or at your specific garage door, completely ignoring the neighbor’s fence.
Privacy-Safe Cameras
MotionCam devices only snap photos when the alarm is actively triggered by movement in your designated zone. They cannot be used for on-demand live streaming, preventing their misuse as surveillance tools that peer into adjoining properties.
Strategic Placement
Our professional installation ensures that sensors and cameras are mounted at heights and angles that strictly monitor your structure’s perimeter—ensuring legal compliance and respecting community privacy.
