Wireless AJAX Systems for Modern School Security
Legacy wired alarms were not designed for schools. AJAX Jeweller radio, MotionCam verification, and Hub 4G dual-path comms deliver everything a modern Melbourne school needs — without a single cable run through classroom walls.
Bosch, DSC, and Hills panels require a physical keypad. AJAX gives directors full remote arm/disarm, live event logs, and instant push notifications from any smartphone — anywhere.
Legacy alarms trigger a siren and a phone call — nothing more. AJAX MotionCam captures a photo series at the moment of alarm, confirming real intrusions before any response is dispatched.
Most legacy school alarms report via a single NBN path. AJAX Hub 4G adds built-in cellular — three independent communication paths keep monitoring active regardless of internet status.
Legacy keypads use shared codes that can’t be revoked when staff leave. AJAX role-based app access means each staff member has their own credential — removed instantly when they depart.
- ✓ AJAX app — full remote control from any smartphone, anywhere
- ✓ MotionCam — photo-on-alarm verification before any response
- ✓ Hub 4G — Ethernet + Wi-Fi + cellular, three independent paths
- ✓ Role-based access — individual credentials, instantly revocable
- ✓ FireProtect 2 — smoke and heat detection unified in one AJAX platform
AJAX Capabilities That Make the Difference

SIPKO Security designs access control zones into every Melbourne school and childcare installation — ensuring restricted areas are protected with the same encrypted AJAX technology as the perimeter alarm, all managed from one app.
Secure Staff-Only Entry Using AJAX Devices
AJAX eliminates shared alarm codes entirely. Every staff member at your Melbourne school or childcare centre gets their own individual credential — app login, Pass card, or key fob — with access rights matched to their role. When a staff member leaves, their access is revoked in seconds from the AJAX app, with no locksmith, no code change, and no site visit required.
No Shared Codes
Every staff member has an individual credential — no shared PIN that can be passed on or forgotten to change when staff leave.
Instant Revocation
Remove a staff member’s access in seconds from the AJAX app — no locksmith, no code change, no site visit required.
Full Audit Trail
Every arm, disarm, and entry event is logged with a timestamp and the credential used — available in the AJAX event history for compliance and investigation.
Multiple Credential Types

Every AJAX door and window sensor includes tamper detection. If a sensor is removed from the wall, the magnet is separated beyond the operational gap, or the case is opened, an immediate tamper alert is sent to the AJAX app and monitoring centre — even if the alarm is disarmed.
Instant Intrusion Alerts with AJAX Mobile Notifications
When something happens at your Melbourne school or childcare centre — day or night — the AJAX app delivers an instant push notification to every authorised user. No delay, no missed alerts, no reliance on a single communication path. Every event is categorised, timestamped, and accompanied by MotionCam photos where available.
Intrusion Alarm — Immediate Push + MotionCam Photos
When a motion detector or door sensor triggers an alarm, an instant push notification is sent to all authorised users simultaneously — accompanied by MotionCam photos showing exactly what triggered. The monitoring centre receives the same alert via dual-path comms.
Door/Window Open Alert — Real-Time Entry Monitoring
Every time a Door Protect sensor detects an opening outside authorised hours, an instant notification is sent to the principal or director’s app — with the zone name, timestamp, and device ID. No more discovering a door was left open the next morning.
Tamper Alert — Sensor Interference Detected
If anyone attempts to remove, cover, or interfere with an AJAX sensor, an immediate tamper alert is sent — even if the alarm is disarmed. This prevents sophisticated intruders from disabling sensors before a break-in.
Low Battery & Device Health Alerts
AJAX proactively notifies administrators when any device battery is running low — weeks before failure. No more discovering a dead sensor during an incident. Remote health monitoring means no site visit is needed to check system status.
Communication Path Failure Alert
If the primary Ethernet or Wi-Fi path drops, AJAX Hub 4G automatically switches to cellular and sends a notification. Administrators know immediately if the communication path has changed — and the system remains fully operational throughout.
Tamper-Proof AJAX Devices for Maximum Reliability
Every AJAX device installed in your Melbourne school or childcare centre includes multiple layers of tamper protection — ensuring the system cannot be disabled, bypassed, or interfered with without immediately alerting administrators and the monitoring centre.
Case Tamper Detection
Every AJAX device has a built-in tamper switch on the case. If the device housing is opened — even by a few millimetres — an immediate tamper alert is sent to the app and monitoring centre, regardless of whether the alarm is armed or disarmed.
Wall Tamper Detection
AJAX devices also detect removal from the mounting surface. If a sensor is pulled off the wall or ceiling, a wall tamper alert fires instantly — preventing an intruder from removing sensors before a break-in to avoid detection.
Anti-Jamming Detection
AJAX Jeweller radio continuously monitors the communication channel for jamming attempts. If someone tries to block the radio signal between a sensor and the hub, the hub detects the interference and sends an immediate jamming alert — a critical protection against sophisticated intruders.
Anti-Masking on Motion Detectors
AJAX MotionProtect and MotionCam include anti-masking technology. If someone attempts to cover the detector lens with tape, spray, or a physical object, the sensor detects the obstruction and sends an immediate masking alert — even before the alarm is triggered.
128-Bit AES Encrypted Communications
Every communication between AJAX devices and the hub uses 128-bit AES encryption with a floating code — making it impossible to intercept, replay, or spoof commands. No unauthorised device can communicate with the AJAX Hub, and no legitimate command can be replayed by an attacker.
Hub Backup Battery & Power Loss Alert
The AJAX Hub includes a built-in backup battery that maintains operation during power outages. If mains power is cut — a common tactic used by intruders — the hub immediately sends a power loss alert and continues operating on battery for hours, keeping the system fully active.
AJAX Mobile App Monitoring for School Administrators
The AJAX app gives Melbourne school principals and childcare directors complete remote control and visibility over their security system — from any smartphone, anywhere in the world. No separate software, no web portal, no complexity. Everything is in one app, updated in real time.
Remote Arm & Disarm
Arm or disarm the entire system — or individual zones — from anywhere. Ideal for principals who need to let contractors in after hours without being on-site.
Live Event Log
Every alarm, arming, disarming, door open, and tamper event is logged with a timestamp and the credential used — searchable and exportable for compliance.
MotionCam Photo Review
Review MotionCam photos from any alarm event directly in the app — encrypted, timestamped, and available for incident reporting or police evidence.
User Management
Add new staff, assign roles, and revoke access instantly — all from the app. No site visit, no locksmith, no code change required when staff leave.
Device Health Dashboard
See the status of every device — online, offline, low battery, or tampered — in a single dashboard. Proactive battery alerts weeks before failure.
Arming Schedules
Set automated arming and disarming schedules aligned with school bell times — with override capability for late staff via their individual credentials.

Mains power cut to the facility. Hub switches to backup battery and sends an immediate power loss alert — a common intruder tactic that AJAX detects and reports instantly.
Response: InstantEvery AJAX Hub 4G maintains three independent communication paths — Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and built-in cellular. If an intruder cuts the internet connection or the NBN drops, the hub automatically switches to cellular and continues sending alerts to the app and monitoring centre without interruption.
Centralised Control of Multiple Education Sites via AJAX
School groups, childcare chains, and education providers managing multiple Melbourne campuses can control every site from a single AJAX app. One login, one event log, one monitoring connection — with each site operating independently and each building partitioned for granular control.
One App — All Sites
The AJAX app supports multiple hubs under a single administrator account. A principal managing three campuses sees all sites, all event logs, and all device statuses in one unified dashboard — no switching between apps or logins.
Independent Site Operation
Each campus operates independently — arming schedules, user access, and zone configurations are set per site. A staff member at Campus A cannot arm or disarm Campus B unless explicitly granted access.
Centralised User Management
Add, modify, or remove staff credentials across all sites from one admin dashboard. When a staff member leaves the organisation, their access to every campus is revoked simultaneously — one action, all sites.
Unified Compliance Reporting
Event logs from all sites are accessible in one place — making it straightforward to produce compliance reports, incident documentation, and audit trails for insurers or regulators across the entire organisation.
Multi-Site Dashboard — Example View
All campuses visible in one AJAX app login
Cloud-Based AJAX Security Management for Schools
AJAX Cloud is the encrypted backbone that connects every device, every hub, and every administrator in your Melbourne school or childcare network — enabling remote management, OTA updates, and real-time monitoring without any on-site server infrastructure.
Over-the-Air Firmware Updates
AJAX Cloud delivers firmware updates to every device in your school automatically — no technician visit required. Security patches, new features, and performance improvements are applied remotely, keeping every sensor and hub current without disrupting the school day.
Encrypted Cloud Event Storage
Every alarm event, arming action, user access, and device health change is stored encrypted in the AJAX Cloud — accessible from the app at any time. Event logs are retained for compliance purposes and can be exported for incident reports, insurance claims, or regulatory audits.
Remote Device Health Monitoring
AJAX Cloud continuously monitors the health of every device — battery level, signal strength, tamper status, and online/offline state. Administrators receive proactive alerts weeks before a battery fails, and can check the status of every sensor across all campuses without leaving their desk.
Cloud-Based User Management
Staff credentials, access permissions, and role assignments are managed in the AJAX Cloud — changes take effect immediately across all enrolled devices. When a staff member leaves, their access is revoked in the cloud and propagated to every hub and keypad instantly.
MotionCam Photo Cloud Storage
MotionCam photos are stored encrypted in the AJAX Cloud — accessible from the app for review, download, and export. Photos are retained for a configurable period and can be shared with police or insurers directly from the app without requiring on-site access to any recording device.

AJAX Cloud eliminates the need for on-site NVR servers, local storage devices, or dedicated IT infrastructure. All management, storage, and monitoring functions are handled in the cloud — reducing hardware costs, maintenance overhead, and the risk of local storage being stolen or damaged during a break-in.
AJAX Cloud Security Architecture
AJAX Cloud is built on enterprise-grade security infrastructure — the same standards used by financial institutions and government agencies. Every communication between devices, hubs, and the cloud is encrypted, authenticated, and protected against interception, replay, and spoofing attacks.
AJAX Security for Safe Pick-Up and Drop-Off Zones
Pick-up and drop-off times are the highest-risk periods of the school day — high foot traffic, multiple vehicles, and the potential for unauthorised adults to access children. AJAX wireless sensors, MotionCam, and instant app alerts give Melbourne childcare centres and schools complete visibility over these critical zones.
Gate & Entry Control During Pick-Up
AJAX Door Protect sensors on all gates and entry points trigger instant alerts if any gate opens outside the designated pick-up window. Staff receive a push notification the moment an unauthorised entry is detected — before the person reaches the children.
MotionCam Visual Verification at Entry
AJAX MotionCam at the main entry captures a photo series when motion is detected outside operating hours. During pick-up and drop-off, the camera provides a visual record of everyone who enters — supporting incident investigation and custody dispute documentation.
Car Park & Driveway Perimeter
AJAX MotionProtect Outdoor and MotionCam Outdoor cover the car park and driveway — detecting vehicles and pedestrians entering the property perimeter. Wireless, weatherproof, and installed without trenching across the car park surface.
Authorised Collector Verification
AJAX role-based access allows authorised collectors to be enrolled with individual credentials — key fobs or app access — providing a digital record of who collected a child and when. Unauthorised collection attempts trigger an immediate alert to the director’s app.
After-Hours Loitering Detection
After pick-up is complete and the facility is secured, AJAX MotionCam Outdoor continues monitoring the car park and entry zones. Any loitering or attempted re-entry triggers an instant alert with photo evidence — protecting children and staff who may still be on-site.
Protecting Playgrounds with Wireless AJAX Sensors
Playgrounds present unique security challenges — large open areas, perimeter fencing, and the need to detect intruders after hours without triggering false alarms from wind, animals, or foliage. AJAX wireless outdoor sensors handle all of these challenges without a single cable run across the playground surface.
AJAX MotionCam Outdoor — Wide-Angle Coverage
AJAX MotionCam Outdoor covers a 12m × 12m zone with a 110° detection angle — a single device covers most standard playground areas. Multiple units can be deployed for larger spaces, all reporting to the same hub with no additional wiring.
Dual-Technology Detection — PIR + Microwave
AJAX outdoor detectors use both PIR and microwave sensing — both must trigger simultaneously for an alarm to fire. Wind-blown leaves, small animals, and temperature changes that fool a standard PIR are ignored, while human movement reliably triggers the alarm.
Battery-Powered — No Wiring Required
Every AJAX outdoor sensor runs on long-life batteries — no power outlets, no cable runs across the playground, and no trenching through the lawn or asphalt. Batteries last up to 5 years and send a low-battery alert weeks before failure.
IP55 Weatherproof — Rated for Melbourne Conditions
AJAX outdoor devices are IP55 rated and operate in temperatures from -25°C to +60°C — handling Melbourne’s summer heat, winter cold, and coastal humidity without performance degradation or false alarms caused by temperature swings.
AJAX Door Protect on All Fence Gates
Wireless Door Protect sensors on every playground gate trigger an instant alert if a gate is left open or opened outside operating hours. Tamper detection alerts if a sensor is removed from the gate — preventing intruders from disabling the sensor before entry.
MotionCam Photo Verification
AJAX MotionCam Outdoor captures a photo series at the moment of detection — images sent encrypted to the app and monitoring centre within seconds. Staff and monitoring operators see exactly what triggered before any response is dispatched, eliminating unnecessary police call-outs.
IP55 weatherproofing, dual-technology detection, and battery-powered wireless operation make AJAX outdoor sensors the ideal choice for Melbourne childcare playgrounds and school ovals — reliable in all weather conditions, with no cable runs across outdoor surfaces and no false alarms from wind or wildlife.
Emergency Alert Systems Powered by AJAX
AJAX is not just an intrusion alarm — it’s a unified emergency response platform. Fire, smoke, water leaks, panic, and duress situations all trigger instant alerts through the same AJAX app and monitoring connection, giving Melbourne schools and childcare centres a single system for every emergency scenario.
Fire & Smoke Emergency
AJAX FireProtect 2 detects smoke and heat in kitchen, storage, and sleep rooms. Instant alert to the app, monitoring centre, and building siren simultaneously — unified with the intrusion alarm in one platform. No separate fire panel required.
Panic & Duress Alert
AJAX DoubleButton panic buttons can be placed at reception, in the director’s office, and in high-risk areas. A single press sends a silent duress alert to the monitoring centre and all enrolled administrators — without triggering the audible siren and alerting an aggressor.
Water Leak & Flood Detection
AJAX LeaksProtect sensors in kitchen, laundry, and plant rooms detect water on the floor within seconds. Instant alert to the app prevents water damage to classrooms, equipment, and student records — critical in multi-storey school buildings where a leak on one floor can damage the floor below.
Power Failure Alert
AJAX Hub 4G detects mains power loss instantly and sends an alert to the app. The hub switches to backup battery and continues operating — keeping the alarm, monitoring, and all connected devices active during a power outage.
Smoke and heat detector with built-in siren. Detects both smouldering fires (smoke) and fast-burning fires (heat). Wireless, battery-powered, and integrated with the AJAX alarm — one alert covers fire and intrusion simultaneously.
Wireless panic button for staff duress situations. Double-press sends a silent alarm to the monitoring centre and all enrolled administrators — without triggering the audible siren. Ideal for reception desks, director’s offices, and isolation rooms.
Water leak detector for kitchen, laundry, and plant rooms. Detects water on the floor within seconds and sends an instant alert to the app — preventing water damage to classrooms, equipment, and records.
Outdoor siren with built-in strobe light. Activates on any alarm event — intrusion, fire, or panic. Wireless, tamper-monitored, and powered by the building supply with battery backup. Audible deterrent and visual indicator for emergency services.
Ensuring Child Safety with Smart Automation
AJAX smart automation removes human error from child safety — arming schedules, automated alerts, and scenario-based responses ensure the right action happens at the right time, every time, without relying on staff to remember to arm the system or check the event log.
Automated Arming Schedules
AJAX arming schedules automatically arm the system at close of business and disarm at opening — aligned with the school bell or childcare operating hours. Staff no longer need to remember to arm the system, and the director receives a push notification confirming the system is armed every evening.
AJAX Hub 4G + App ScheduleAutomatic Gate Locking After Hours
AJAX Relay connects to electric gate locks — when the system arms at close of business, all gates lock automatically. When the system disarms in the morning, gates unlock. No staff action required, and any manual override is logged with a timestamp in the event history.
AJAX Relay + WallSwitchAutomated Staff Notifications
AJAX can be configured to send automated push notifications to specific staff members based on events — the director receives all alarm events, the maintenance manager receives power loss and leak alerts, and the IT coordinator receives server room tamper alerts. Each role gets only the alerts relevant to them.
AJAX App + Role-Based AlertsScenario-Based Alarm Responses
AJAX scenarios allow custom responses to specific events — for example, if the kitchen FireProtect 2 triggers, the system can automatically activate the building siren, send a fire alert to the monitoring centre, and notify the director simultaneously, without any manual intervention.
AJAX Scenarios + AutomationNight Mode — Stay Arming
AJAX Night Mode (Stay arming) allows the perimeter to be armed while staff or cleaners are still inside the building. Interior motion detectors are disabled, but all doors, windows, and outdoor sensors remain active — protecting the building perimeter without triggering false alarms from authorised occupants.
AJAX Stay Mode + AppProactive Battery Management
AJAX Cloud monitors the battery level of every device and sends automated low-battery alerts to the administrator weeks before failure. No more discovering a dead sensor during an incident — proactive alerts ensure every device is always operational without requiring manual checks.
AJAX Cloud + Remote HealthSmart Automation — Removing Human Error from Child Safety
The most common security failure in Melbourne schools and childcare centres is not a technology failure — it’s a human one. Staff forget to arm the system, leave gates unlocked, or miss a low-battery alert. AJAX smart automation eliminates these failure points by making the right action happen automatically, every time.
