Advanced Ajax Wireless Security for Boats & Yachts

Most yacht installations are completed in 4–6 hours. Because Ajax is fully wireless, there’s no cable running through bulkheads or behind panels. Our Melbourne technicians mount sensors using SmartBracket adhesive mounts (no drilling), configure the hub, pair all devices via QR codes, and hand over a fully operational system the same day.

For larger vessels or complex configurations (multiple zones, extensive perimeter coverage, integration with chartplotters), installation may extend to a full day. We schedule installations at your berth in Sandringham, Williamstown, Mornington, or any Melbourne marina.

Yes — Ajax operates independently of cellular coverage. The system continues to detect intrusion, fire, and flood events even when you’re offshore and out of 4G range. All sensors communicate with the hub via Jeweller wireless protocol (up to 2,000m range), which does not require internet connectivity.

However, smartphone alerts and remote control require 4G or Wi-Fi. When you’re at sea beyond cellular coverage, the hub logs all events locally. Once you return to port and regain 4G/Wi-Fi, the hub syncs with the Ajax cloud and delivers any missed notifications to your phone. For vessels that spend extended periods offshore, we recommend enabling professional 24/7 monitoring — the monitoring centre receives alerts via satellite backup (optional add-on).

Ajax sensors run for 3–5 years on a single battery set, depending on the device type and usage intensity. Motion detectors and door contacts typically achieve 5 years. Fire detectors and flood sensors average 3–4 years. The Ajax app displays real-time battery levels for every device, and you receive low-battery notifications months before replacement is required.

Battery replacement is a simple user-serviceable task — no technician required. Ajax devices use standard CR123A or AA batteries (depending on model), available at any hardware store. SIPKO Security offers an optional annual maintenance visit where we check battery levels, test all sensors, and replace batteries as needed — ensuring your system remains at 100% reliability.

Yes — Ajax provides a RESTful API for custom integrations. We routinely integrate Ajax with:

• Chartplotters: Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad MFDs can display Ajax security status and allow arm/disarm from the navigation screen.
• Vessel monitoring platforms: Siren Marine, Boat Command, and custom dashboards can pull Ajax data via API — centralizing security alongside GPS tracking, battery voltage, and tank levels.
• Smart automation: Ajax events (flood, fire, intrusion) can trigger automated responses — activating bilge pumps, ventilation, lighting, or emergency notifications.
• Marina security systems: Ajax can interface with marina-wide infrastructure at Sandringham, Williamstown, and Mornington — coordinating your vessel alarm with dock cameras and security patrols.

SIPKO Security configures these integrations during installation. We handle the technical setup — you get a unified command centre for your vessel.

Every Ajax device has built-in tamper detection. If a sensor is removed from its mounting bracket, opened, or experiences a sudden loss of communication with the hub, the system immediately triggers a tamper alarm. You receive an instant push notification, the siren activates, and (if enabled) the 24/7 monitoring centre is alerted.

Ajax devices also feature anti-masking technology — motion detectors detect attempts to block or cover the sensor lens and trigger an alert before the intruder can disable detection. This makes Ajax significantly more secure than traditional marine alarms, which can often be silently disabled by cutting wires or removing sensors.

Yes — Ajax devices are purpose-built for harsh environments. Key marine-grade features include:

• IP67-rated flood sensors: Fully sealed against dust and temporary submersion — designed to operate in wet bilge environments.
• Corrosion-resistant housings: All outdoor devices (MotionCam Outdoor, StreetSiren) use UV-stabilized, salt-air-resistant materials.
• Temperature-compensated PIR detectors: Motion sensors adjust sensitivity based on ambient temperature — eliminating false alarms from engine heat or sun exposure on deck.
• Humidity-tolerant electronics: Ajax devices operate reliably in 0–95% humidity (non-condensing) — well within the range experienced in Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay marinas.

We’ve installed Ajax on vessels across Sandringham, Williamstown, Mornington, and Hastings marinas with zero environmental failures. The wireless design also eliminates the corrosion issues that plague traditional wired marine alarms.

Yes — the Ajax app supports unlimited hubs under one account. If you own multiple vessels (or a yacht plus a residential property), you can manage all Ajax systems from a single app. Switch between vessels with one tap, receive alerts from all locations, and control each system independently.

This is particularly useful for Melbourne yacht owners who maintain a home security system alongside their vessel alarm — one app, complete visibility across all properties.

24/7 monitoring centre with immediate response:

• Instant alert verification: When your Ajax system triggers, our monitoring centre receives the alert within 1 second and immediately attempts to contact you via phone.
• Emergency dispatch: If we cannot reach you, or you confirm a genuine emergency, we dispatch marina security, police, or fire services to your vessel’s berth.
• Photo verification: MotionCam devices send photo snapshots to the monitoring centre — allowing operators to visually confirm intrusions before dispatching emergency services.
• Flood and fire response: LeaksProtect and FireProtect alerts trigger immediate contact and, if required, dispatch of marina maintenance or emergency crews.
• Redundant communication: Monitoring uses both 4G and Wi-Fi paths, with satellite backup available for vessels that spend extended periods offshore.

Professional monitoring is optional but highly recommended for vessels left unattended for extended periods or owners who travel frequently. Pricing starts at $45/month for Melbourne yacht installations.
