Your Ajax Installation in Brisbane — From First Call to Final Handover
No surprises, no mystery. Whether you’re in a Queenslander in Paddington, a new-build in North Lakes, or a strata apartment in South Brisbane — here’s exactly what happens when SIPKO Security installs your Ajax alarm system. Plain English, start to finish.
The Phone Call — We Actually Listen
You call +61 406 432 691 and speak directly with a licensed Ajax technician — not a call centre, not a chatbot. We ask about your property type, your suburb, whether you’ve had a previous alarm, and what’s driving the need right now. Burglary concern? Insurance requirement? Rental obligation? We tailor from there. A site visit gets booked at a time that suits you — mornings, afternoons, or Saturdays across Greater Brisbane. Under QLD Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation licensing rules, every security installer must hold a current QLD licence — we’ll always provide ours upfront.
The Free Site Survey — Your Property Gets the Full Once-Over
Our tech rocks up on time, in uniform, with ID. We walk every room, every corridor, every entry point — thinking like someone who wants to get in without triggering your alarm. For a Queenslander, that means checking the sub-floor access points, the louvred windows, the wide verandah, and the back stairs — all entry points that simply don’t exist in a standard brick home. For a new-build in North Lakes or Springfield, we’re mapping the open-plan layout, the double garage internal door, and the alfresco sliding doors. We check 4G signal strength at the proposed Hub location and confirm Ajax’s 868 MHz Jeweller protocol will reach every planned sensor. QLD Police crime statistics show which Brisbane suburbs have the highest break-and-enter rates — we factor that into how we design your coverage.
The Written Quote — Every Device, Every Dollar, No Surprises
You get a proper written quote — not a ballpark figure on a business card. Every Ajax device is listed with its purpose and exact cost. Labour is separated from hardware. Optional monitoring costs are disclosed upfront. GST included. Valid for 30 days — take your time, compare, ask questions. We don’t do high-pressure tactics. Under the Australian Consumer Law, you’re entitled to services delivered with due care and skill — a written quote is part of that.
The Install — Clean, Fast, Zero Damage to Your Home
We arrive with every device pre-programmed to your system profile. Ajax runs on encrypted 868 MHz radio — no cables through walls, no conduit, no patching plaster. In a Queenslander, this is especially important: drilling through original VJ board or hardwood framing is something we never need to do. Sensors go on with 3M industrial adhesive or two small screws. A typical 3-bedroom Brisbane home is done in under 4 hours. Larger properties — acreage in the Scenic Rim, multi-storey homes in Kenmore or Chapel Hill — take longer and we schedule accordingly. Every device is tested for signal strength before we move on.
Full System Test — Every Sensor, Every Zone, Green Across the Board
We walk-test every single sensor individually. Every door, every window, every motion zone — confirmed in the Ajax app before we sign off. Siren volume tested and compliant with QLD Environmental Protection Act 1994 noise requirements. Dual-path 4G and Wi-Fi both confirmed active. Backup battery runtime verified — minimum 12 hours off mains. System tested to confirm it will keep running through power outages. If anything isn’t green, we fix it on the spot.
The Handover — You’re in Full Control Before We Head Off
We sit down with everyone in the household who needs to use the system and walk through it at your pace. Away mode, Stay mode, how to disarm quickly when you walk in with shopping. How to check the event log at 2am if you get a notification. How to add a family member’s phone. How to temporarily disable a sensor without killing the whole system. Warranty documentation issued — 2-year Ajax manufacturer warranty on all hardware. Our direct number provided — call or text us first if anything needs attention.

Ajax wireless sensors cover sub-floor access, louvred windows, and verandah perimeters without drilling through timber.
Ajax Wireless Installation for Queenslanders
Queenslanders have sub-floor access from multiple sides, louvred windows that open from outside, and verandahs that create sheltered approaches. Ajax wireless sensors cover these entry points without drilling through original timber.
Ajax outdoor MotionProtect sensors detect sub-floor access. Ajax MotionCam detectors cover louvred windows with photo verification. Ajax Hub communicates through timber walls better than Wi-Fi systems.
Ajax Sensor Coverage
Ajax outdoor MotionProtect sensors cover sub-floor access points. Ajax MotionCam detectors handle louvred windows with photo verification. Ajax outdoor sensors on verandah perimeters create early-warning zones.
Sub-Floor Access
Ajax outdoor MotionProtect or perimeter beam covering all sub-floor entry points.
Louvred Windows
Ajax MotionCam in each room with louvred windows. Detects movement inside even if louvres are removed.
Verandah Perimeter
Ajax outdoor sensors on the verandah create an early-warning zone before anyone reaches the front door.
Where Does the Ajax Hub Go in a Queenslander?
Hub placement in an elevated Queenslander is different from any other property type. The home is typically long and narrow, with rooms running front to back, and the floor is elevated — which means the Hub needs to communicate with sensors at ground level (sub-floor perimeter), at floor level (interior rooms), and potentially at verandah level.
Our standard approach for a Queenslander is to mount the Hub in the central hallway, high on the wall — typically 2.2–2.5m from the floor. This gives the Hub near-equal signal distance to the front verandah sensors, the rear entry, and the interior rooms. The central hallway is also typically the most secure location in the home — out of reach without a ladder, away from windows, and not visible from outside.
Ajax’s 868 MHz Jeweller protocol handles timber walls significantly better than Wi-Fi-based alarm systems. VJ board and hardwood framing attenuate the signal far less than brick or concrete — meaning a single Hub in the central hallway will typically reach every sensor in the home without a range extender.
✓ Good Hub Locations
- Central hallway wall, 2.2–2.5m high — equal distance to front and rear sensors
- Internal linen cupboard if centrally located — concealed and elevated
- High on the stairwell wall — naturally out of reach, good signal distribution
- Home office or study if positioned centrally in the floor plan
✗ Avoid These Locations
- Near louvred windows — humidity ingress and signal interference
- Sub-floor or under-house — tamper risk and humidity damage
- Front verandah — exposed to weather and accessible from outside
- Near the NBN connection point — Ethernet interference
Ajax Alarm Configuration for Queenslander Homes
Ajax systems are configured specifically for Queenslander properties. Sensor placement, sensitivity settings, and entry/exit delays are tailored to your home’s layout and entry points.
Queenslander Sensor Placement
Ajax outdoor sensors are IP55-rated for outdoor use. Outdoor MotionProtect sensors cover sub-floor access points. Interior MotionCam detectors cover louvred windows. Verandah perimeter sensors create an early-warning zone. Sensor placement avoids direct airflow from louvres and areas prone to condensation.
Ajax Battery Backup and 4G Communication
Ajax Hub 2 includes 12-hour backup battery — system keeps running through power outages. 4G communication means the monitoring centre stays connected even if your NBN drops. Dual-path monitoring ensures your system reports to the monitoring centre regardless of internet status.
Ajax MotionCam Photo Verification
MotionCam detectors capture a photo burst when triggered. Monitoring centre receives the photo and can verify whether the alarm is a genuine intrusion or a false trigger. Reduces false alarms and ensures police dispatch only occurs for confirmed threats.
Heritage Queenslander? Ajax Is the Only Responsible Choice.
Many Brisbane Queenslanders are listed on local heritage registers or are located in heritage precincts — particularly in suburbs like Paddington, Ascot, Hamilton, and New Farm. Under the Queensland Heritage Act 2009, any work that could affect the heritage significance of a listed property requires approval. Drilling through original VJ board, hardwood framing, or decorative fretwork almost certainly triggers that requirement. Ajax’s wireless installation — sensors on adhesive pads or two small screws into non-heritage surfaces — requires no structural changes and no heritage approval. The system comes off cleanly when you move, leaving zero trace on the original fabric of the home.

Ajax During Brisbane Floods
Brisbane floods are real. 2011, 2022 — thousands of homes affected. If you’re in a flood-prone suburb, your alarm system needs to handle power outages and water.
Ajax Alarm Configuration for Flood-Affected Properties
For properties in flood-affected suburbs including Rocklea, Oxley, Chelmer, Fairfield, Graceville, and Yeronga, Ajax systems are configured with Hub placement above the highest recorded flood level and outdoor sensors positioned above the likely inundation line. 12-hour battery backup and 4G communication ensure the system keeps running and reporting to the monitoring centre during power outages.
Ajax System Resilience During Power Outages
When mains power is lost, Ajax Hub 2 switches to backup battery — system keeps running for 12+ hours without power. 4G communication means the system reports to the monitoring centre even if your NBN is down.
Hub placement is critical. In flood-affected properties, the Hub is mounted above the highest recorded flood level for your address. We check Brisbane City Council flood mapping during the site survey.
Outdoor sensors are positioned above the likely inundation level. For ground-floor coverage in flood-prone areas, we use interior MotionCam detectors rather than outdoor devices that may be underwater.
Monitoring centre operations continue during flood events. When your alarm triggers, the monitoring centre follows standard protocols — contact you, your nominated contacts, and dispatch police or security patrol if required.
High flood-risk Brisbane suburbs — Ajax installations we design for flood resilience
Flood risk varies significantly by street and property. Always check your specific address using the Brisbane City Council Flood Awareness Tool.
How Ajax Handles a Brisbane Flood Event — Four Things That Matter
Here’s what actually happens to your Ajax system when floodwater rises and power goes out in Brisbane.
Battery Backup Keeps the System Running
When Energex cuts power to your suburb during a flood event, the Ajax Hub 2 switches automatically to its built-in backup battery. The system keeps running, sensors keep reporting, and the monitoring centre keeps receiving your alarm signal — for a minimum of 12 hours without mains power. For most Brisbane flood events, that’s enough to cover the critical period. The Ajax app notifies you the moment mains power is lost, so you know the system has switched to battery before you’ve even noticed the lights go out.
4G Monitoring Continues When NBN Is Down
Brisbane flood events frequently knock out NBN infrastructure — either through physical damage to nodes or through power outages at exchange buildings. Ajax’s Hub 2 communicates via 4G as its primary or backup path, completely independent of your home internet connection. When your NBN drops, the system automatically switches to 4G and continues reporting to the monitoring centre without interruption. The ACMA’s telecommunications infrastructure guidelines require mobile networks to maintain emergency communications during disasters — 4G is the most resilient communication path available.
Tamper Detection Alerts You to Sensor Interference
If rising floodwater reaches a sensor and causes it to move, shift, or lose its mounting, Ajax’s tamper detection immediately alerts you and the monitoring centre. You’ll know within seconds if a sensor has been physically disturbed — whether by floodwater, debris, or anything else. This is particularly important for outdoor sensors and sub-floor sensors in elevated Queenslanders, where floodwater can reach sensor locations before it enters the main living areas.
Remote Arm/Disarm When You’ve Evacuated
If you’ve evacuated your Brisbane property ahead of a flood event, you can arm your Ajax system remotely from the app — from anywhere in the world. You can also check the live status of every sensor, see the event log, and receive push notifications if anything triggers while you’re away. When you return after the flood, you can disarm remotely before you enter the property. This is one of the most practical advantages of Ajax over legacy alarm systems during a Brisbane flood evacuation.
Hub Placement in Flood-Affected Brisbane Properties
In a flood-prone Brisbane property, Hub placement isn’t just about signal coverage — it’s about keeping the brain of your system above the waterline. We check the Brisbane City Council flood mapping for your specific address and recommend a Hub height that accounts for the highest recorded flood level at that location.
For properties in Rocklea, Oxley, or Chelmer that experienced inundation in 2022, that might mean mounting the Hub significantly higher than the standard 2.2–2.5m recommendation. In some cases, it means mounting the Hub on the upper floor of a two-storey home, or in a high position in a Queenslander’s upper level, rather than the central hallway.
The good news: Ajax’s wireless architecture means the Hub can go almost anywhere in the home without affecting sensor coverage. We’re not constrained by cable runs or panel locations. If the safest place for your Hub is 3m up on a second-floor wall, that’s exactly where it goes.
What Happens to Your Monitoring During a Brisbane Flood?
Professional 24/7 monitoring continues operating during Brisbane flood events. Australian monitoring centres are required to maintain operations during declared disasters — they have backup power, redundant communication paths, and protocols specifically for flood events.
When your alarm triggers during a flood event, the monitoring centre follows the same process as any other time: they contact you, your nominated contacts, and if required, dispatch police or a security patrol. The fact that there’s a flood happening doesn’t change that process.
What does change is the context. A good monitoring centre will note that your property is in a flood-affected area and factor that into their response — for example, not dispatching a patrol vehicle to a street that’s underwater. We work with monitoring partners who understand Brisbane’s flood geography and have protocols for exactly this scenario. See Australian Government Disaster Assist for information on disaster declarations and emergency services coordination.

Ajax Alarm Installation for Post-War Chamferboard Homes
Post-war chamferboard homes have thin timber walls and may contain asbestos-cement sheeting. Ajax wireless installation requires no drilling through wall cladding — sensors mount with adhesive pads or two small screws into timber framing.
Chamferboard homes typically have simple floor plans with a front door, back door, and a few accessible windows. Ajax wireless installation is clean, fast, and completely reversible. No wall penetration, no risk of disturbing asbestos-containing materials, no damage to the original fabric of the home.
Sensor placement is straightforward: DoorProtect on front and back doors, MotionCam in the central hallway or living area covering the rear of the home, and optional outdoor sensors on the verandah or carport. The simple layout means a well-designed Ajax system doesn’t need a large number of sensors.
Thin Timber Walls
Chamferboard cladding over 90mm timber framing — easy to drill through but potentially damaging to original fabric. Ajax sensors mount without wall penetration.
Possible Asbestos-Containing Materials
Post-war Brisbane homes (1945–1985) may contain asbestos-cement sheeting in internal walls, ceilings, or eaves. Drilling without testing is a health risk. Wireless installation avoids this entirely.
Simple Rectangular Floor Plan
The typical chamferboard home has a straightforward layout — bedrooms at the front, living at the rear, single-storey throughout. Ajax’s 868 MHz signal covers the entire floor plan from a single central Hub.
Low Stumps or Slab
Unlike a Queenslander, the chamferboard home sits low — on a slab or short stumps. Sub-floor access is limited, which simplifies the sensor strategy compared to an elevated Queenslander.
Heritage Character Value
Brisbane City Council recognises post-war housing precincts in inner-south suburbs. Wireless Ajax installation preserves the original fabric of the home — no drilling, no damage, fully reversible.
Why Wireless Is the Only Responsible Choice for a Chamferboard Home
A traditional wired alarm system in a post-war chamferboard home requires drilling through walls to run cable between sensors and the control panel. In a home that may contain asbestos-cement sheeting — and many Brisbane post-war homes do — drilling through unknown wall materials without prior testing is a genuine health risk.
Under the Safe Work Australia asbestos guidelines, any work that disturbs asbestos-containing materials requires specific precautions, and in some cases a licensed asbestos removalist. An alarm installer who drills through walls in a post-war Brisbane home without first confirming the wall composition is not following safe work practices.
Ajax’s wireless installation avoids this entirely. No drilling through walls, no cable runs, no risk of disturbing asbestos-containing materials. Sensors mount on the surface of walls with adhesive pads or two small screws into timber framing — not through the wall cladding. The system is fully reversible and leaves no trace when removed.
Where Does the Ajax Hub Go in a Chamferboard Home?
The typical chamferboard home has a simple rectangular floor plan — bedrooms at the front, living and kitchen at the rear, bathroom and laundry somewhere in the middle. This makes Hub placement straightforward compared to a Queenslander or a large acreage property.
Our standard approach is to mount the Hub in the central hallway, high on the wall. In a chamferboard home, the hallway typically runs the full length of the house — giving the Hub near-equal signal distance to the front bedroom sensors and the rear living area sensors. The thin timber walls offer minimal signal attenuation, so a single Hub in the hallway will reach every sensor in the home without a range extender.
- Central hallway wall, 2.2–2.5m high — optimal for the typical chamferboard floor plan
- Internal linen cupboard if centrally located — concealed and elevated
- Avoid external walls — thin chamferboard cladding offers less protection from weather and tampering
- Avoid near the meter box or switchboard — electrical interference
- Avoid the carport or garage if detached — signal distance and tamper risk
How Many Sensors Does a Chamferboard Home Actually Need?
The chamferboard home’s simple floor plan means a well-designed Ajax system doesn’t need a large number of sensors. The typical layout has a front door, a back door, a few accessible windows, and an open-plan living area at the rear. That’s a manageable sensor count — and because the walls are thin timber, Ajax’s MotionCam in the central hallway or living area will cover a large portion of the home’s interior with a single device.
The rear of the home — the kitchen, dining, and living area — is the most common break-in entry point in Brisbane’s inner-south suburbs, according to QLD Police crime statistics. A MotionCam covering the rear living zone provides both detection and visual verification — the monitoring centre sees what caused the trigger before deciding whether to dispatch police.
- Front door — DoorProtect Plus, KeyPad Plus for arm/disarm
- Back door — DoorProtect Plus (most common break-in entry point)
- Rear living area — MotionCam for visual verification coverage
- Central hallway — MotionProtect to catch movement between zones
- Accessible side windows — DoorProtect on frames
- Outdoor siren — StreetSiren for visible deterrence
Post-War Brisbane Home? Please Read This Before Any Drilling.
Homes built in Brisbane between approximately 1945 and 1985 may contain asbestos-cement sheeting (fibro) in internal walls, ceilings, eaves, wet areas, and outbuildings. Asbestos-containing materials are not dangerous if left undisturbed — but drilling, cutting, or sanding them releases fibres that are a serious health risk. Under Safe Work Australia guidelines, any work that disturbs asbestos-containing materials requires specific precautions. This is one of the most important reasons why wireless Ajax installation — which requires no drilling through wall cladding — is the right choice for post-war Brisbane homes. If you’re unsure whether your home contains asbestos, the Queensland Government asbestos guidance explains how to identify and manage it safely.

Brisbane’s inner-city apartment market is booming — Fortitude Valley, Newstead, South Brisbane, and Bowen Hills have seen massive development. If you’re in a strata property and want Ajax, here’s the QLD-specific picture. It’s different from NSW and WA, and most guides get it wrong.
QLD Strata Law Is Different — The BCCM Act, Not the NSW or WA Acts
Queensland strata properties are governed by the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (QLD) — completely different legislation from NSW’s Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 or WA’s Strata Titles Act 1985. The practical outcome for Ajax installations is broadly similar — wireless installs inside your lot generally don’t need body corporate approval — but the QLD approval process for common areas follows BCCM-specific procedures. Most online strata guides are written for NSW and don’t apply in Queensland.
The Short Answer: Ajax Is the Most Body-Corporate-Friendly Alarm in Brisbane
The reason Brisbane strata residents struggle to get alarm systems installed isn’t the body corporate — it’s the alarm system. Traditional wired alarms require drilling through walls, running cables through ceiling cavities, and sometimes penetrating fire-rated building elements. That’s what triggers body corporate objections in Brisbane apartment buildings.
Ajax is 100% wireless. No cable runs, no wall penetrations beyond a single small anchor per device, no impact on the building’s structural or fire-rated elements. In the vast majority of Brisbane strata properties, installing an Ajax system inside your individual lot requires no body corporate approval — because you’re not touching common property and not altering the building fabric.
Under the BCCM Act 1997 (QLD), a by-law cannot unreasonably restrict a lot owner’s use and enjoyment of their lot. Installing a wireless security system on internal walls is a minor cosmetic change that falls well within your rights as a lot owner. We’ve installed Ajax systems in Brisbane strata properties across Fortitude Valley, South Brisbane, Newstead, and Bowen Hills — and have never had a body corporate reject a wireless-only installation inside a private lot.
For renters in Brisbane strata properties, the relevant legislation is the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (QLD). You need written permission from your landlord — but because Ajax is fully reversible, most Brisbane landlords are happy to approve it.
