Many homeowners focus on securing their main house but overlook their garages, sheds, workshops, and other outbuildings. These spaces often store expensive tools, garden equipment, bikes, and even vehicles—making them a prime target for burglars.
Traditional padlocks and basic alarms may not be enough to deter a determined thief. That’s where an intelligent security system like Ajax comes in. With its wireless technology, long-range coverage, and instant alerts, Ajax provides an effective, hassle-free way to secure your outbuildings.
Why Outbuildings Are at Risk?
Outbuildings are often:
Located away from the main house, making them easier to break into unnoticed.
Poorly lit, giving burglars more cover.
Lacking a proper security system.
Used for storage of high-value items like power tools, bikes, and fuel.
How Ajax Alarm Systems Secure Your Outbuildings
Ajax alarms offer smart, wireless security that can be customised to suit any outbuilding. Here’s how they help:
1. Wireless Security for Any Location
One of the biggest challenges with securing an outbuilding is running cables for alarms and cameras. Ajax solves this with its completely wireless system, which operates on long-range radio signals. This means your shed, garage, or workshop can be monitored even if it’s 100+ metres from your house.
2. Motion, Glass Break, Shock, and Door Sensors
Ajax has a range of detectors including motion PIR sensors, glass break sensors, shock sensors, and door/window sensors that trigger alerts if someone tries to break in. Popular options include:
MotionProtect Outdoor – A weather-resistant motion detector that ignores animals but detects human movement.
MotionCam – A PIR sensor with an inbuilt stills camera, that captures images of intruders when triggered, offering visual verification.

3. Instant Alerts to Your Phone
Unlike older alarms that just make noise, Ajax alarms instantly send alerts to your phone (and anyone else you authorise). If a break-in attempt is detected, you’ll know immediately—whether you’re at home or away.

4. Tamper-Proof and Reliable
Burglars often try to disable alarms, but Ajax is built to withstand tampering:
Jamming detection prevents signal interference.
Encrypted communication keeps your system secure.
Long battery life means no frequent replacements.
5. Smart Automation and Integration
With Ajax’s smart home integration, you can go beyond just alarms:
Automate lights to turn on if motion is detected, scaring off intruders.
Connect CCTV cameras for real-time monitoring.
Add a fog machine to reduce visibility and disorientate.
Control the entire system from your phone using the Ajax app.
6. Backup Power and Connectivity
Even if a burglar cuts the power, Ajax keeps working. Its battery backup and SIM card connectivity ensure you stay protected even in power cuts or if WiFi goes down.
