Safeguard has introduced an exciting new security alarm system that is wireless, easy to use, operates on your phone, with a physical back-up on site, and is super easy to navigate and use at home or on the go.
Statistics show that those who use their alarm and other security systems suffer less loss from robbery and theft than those who do not.
However, many people leave their property without arming their alarm system or only switch it on late at night rather than switching it on and excluding, through a bypass option, areas of the house that are in use.
“A common reason given for not arming their alarm system is that it requires being on-site to arm and disarm it.
“However, security system technology has changed rapidly over the last few years enabling Safeguard to introduce this new alarm system called Ajax, which enables you to operate the system from your cellphone,” Safeguard Alarms managing director Reason Chitiva said.
“You can bypass parts of your house where you or your family are and arm the system to protect the rest of the house, all from the comfort of where you are, whether at home or far away from home,” he added.
A variety of devices can be added to the core system at any time. Where cameras have been included it is possible to check and see what is happening at home or the office at any time using the system’s mobile phone app.
“Safeguard has offered wireless security systems before but the Ajax system is the latest most up-to-date system on the market,” Mr Chtiva said.
“Being a wireless system has many advantages. It is easy and quick to install. There are no unsightly wires connecting devices. The system can easily be moved to new premises if you move home or office.
“Existing alarm system devices can be integrated with the Ajax system within an hour. Additional sensors can be placed anywhere and are aesthetically pleasing, making them part of the home’s decor,” he said.
Dual monitoring is possible as, in addition to transmitting signals via the Internet, the system can also transmit through a radio link to Safeguard’s alarm monitoring centre.
“Wireless alarm systems are easy to install and configure, high-tech and reliable. Ajax-based security systems resist signal jamming and provide your premises with a high level of protection,” Mr Chitiva said.
“The Ajax alarm security system not only protects your premises by alerting you to the presence of intruders and enabling you to see what is happening from wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection, but can be used as a combined integrated security and home automation system,” he added.
“You can use the mobile app not only to switch on or off lights and other devices within the home but to open or close your electric gate, switch your swimming pool pump on or off and even to turn your sprinklers on or off. It all depends on what devices you wish to incorporate within the system.
“You don’t have to link up all devices at initial installation, You can add more devices to the system at any time. Fire or flood warning sensors can also be added,” he said.
He went on to say the Ajax alarm system is not dependent on mains electricity as it operates on long-life lithium batteries that only require replacing after three years or longer.
“The mobile application allows two-way communication for you to track the status of the system’s elements such as the charge level. Users are alerted if the battery needs replacing or if there is a loss of communication with any of the sensors.
“The system can be used to monitor not only premises but movable property such as houseboats and caravans. The alarm system also allows you to connect third-party video surveillance systems.
The system uses energy-efficient secure radio protocols with a wide communication range between the sensors and the control unit of up to 2 000 metres in the absence of obstacles.
