Transform Your CCTV: How Ajax Systems’ New Deterrence Feature Enhances Business Security

Traditional CCTV systems have long been used to record events for later review. However, with the increasing need for proactive security, modern systems are now going a step further. The latest update from Ajax Systems introduces a smart deterrence feature that allows businesses to actively respond to threats — not just observe them.

This innovation represents a shift in how small to medium-sized businesses across Australia can secure their premises, combining video surveillance with real-time alarms and automation to stop intruders in their tracks.

What Is the Ajax Deterrence Feature?

The new feature allows Ajax Systems’ video surveillance to work seamlessly with its alarm and automation ecosystem. When unusual activity is detected, the system can be programmed to:

• Trigger indoor or outdoor sirens
• Activate lights or floodlights
• Send push notifications to owners or managers
• Automatically record and highlight relevant video clips

These actions are defined through scenarios within the Ajax mobile app or PRO Desktop platform. Business owners can easily customise how the system responds based on time of day, specific areas under surveillance, or triggered motion detectors.

Why This Matters for Small Businesses

Unlike conventional CCTV setups that only capture footage, Ajax’s system proactively deters intruders, helping to prevent theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. This is particularly valuable for businesses without overnight staff or those in isolated locations.

Local Business Use Cases:

• Retail stores: Deter after-hours loitering or break-ins by activating external sirens and lighting when motion is detected near the shopfront.
• Medical clinics: Monitor staff entrances and car parks during evenings, triggering alerts if someone enters restricted areas.
• Warehouses: Protect loading docks or outdoor storage areas by linking motion sensors with lights and cameras.
• Cafés and restaurants: Prevent unauthorised access to outdoor seating or equipment after hours.
• Construction sites: Detect movement near tools and machinery, triggering remote alerts and spotlighting the area.

Because the system integrates CCTV, alarms, and automation, it reduces the need for multiple platforms and complex wiring — making it easier to manage and more cost-effective in the long run.
