Ajax Hub 1 - Black SMART

The Ajax Hub 1 in black is the central base station of the Ajax SMART alarm system. This hub forms the heart of the installation and ensures communication between all connected sensors, keypads and sirens. In practice, you choose the Hub 1 when you want to build a reliable, wireless alarm system with simple operation via the Ajax app, without unnecessary complexity.

The Hub 1 is connected via a fixed Ethernet (LAN) connection, which is often the most stable and predictable way to transmit notifications and system status in fixed installations. In addition, a mobile module is available for situations where mobile connectivity is supported. Please note that the availability and reliability of mobile networks may vary per country and provider, partly because 2G is being phased out in more and more regions.

The Ajax Hub 1 is often chosen as a central alarm system for homes, apartments and small businesses. In combination with Ajax motion detectors, door sensors and sirens, this hub forms a complete wireless alarm system that is easy to operate via smartphone, with clear notifications and a clear status of all components.

The Ajax Hub 1 is designed for use in homes and smaller business environments where reliability and simplicity are key. The system can be fully set up, managed and operated via the Ajax app on a smartphone or tablet, without the need for a separate computer.

Applications of the Ajax Hub 1

The Ajax Hub 1 has been developed for indoor use and is especially suitable for fixed installations where you are looking for a solid foundation. Think of single-family homes, apartments, small offices, shops, practice rooms and storage spaces. By supporting multiple rooms and groups, you can organize the system logically, for example per floor, per zone (front/back) or per department in a small company.

For example, you can only switch on the ground floor at night, while during the day you have all zones active. It is also useful when you want to give access to different users, such as family members, colleagues or an administrator, without everyone being given the same rights.

Operation and control via the Ajax app

You can manage the alarm system completely remotely via the Ajax app for iOS and Android. You switch the system on or off, receive push notifications in the event of an alarm or sabotage, and check the status of all components. Management is clear: you create rooms, assign user rights and set notification preferences per user, so that everyone only gets what is relevant.

This makes the Hub 1 practical for situations where you want to act quickly. When a notification is received, you can immediately see which component triggered the alarm and in which room this happened. The system also reports this via the set notifications in the event of a power outage or connection problems.

Important to know about photo verification

The Ajax Hub 1 is the entry-level model within the Ajax range and does not support MotionCam detectors with photo verification. If you also want to receive image verification (photos) with an alarm, a hub variant with support for photo verification is usually a better fit.

Range, communication and tamper protection

The hub communicates with sensors via two-way wireless connection. This means that components not only send alarm signals, but also provide feedback on their status. This way, sabotage attempts, loss of connection or jamming are detected more quickly. Wireless communication is via the Jeweler protocol, which is designed for stable connections and fast alarm transmission.

– Wireless communication up to approximately 2000 meters in open field (practice depending on walls and construction)
– Frequency: 868.0 – 868.6 MHz
– Encrypted communication (AES)
– Tamper protection and jamming detection

Support for components, rooms and users

With the Hub 1 you can build a complete system that grows with your situation. This is useful when you start with basic security (door/window + motion detector) and later expand with additional zones, an outdoor siren or a panic button. This is also useful in small companies when you want to gradually expand the system without replacing the hub.

– Maximum 100 Ajax sensors and accessories
– Up to 50 users adjustable
– Up to 50 rooms (zones)
– Up to 9 groups for separate operation

Connectivity and power

The Ajax Hub 1 uses a wired LAN connection as its primary connection. In addition, a mobile module is provided for mobile connectivity where supported. Because mobile networks differ per country and 2G is being phased out in more and more regions, it is wise to determine in advance whether you need mobile communication and whether this is still supported in your region. For locations where you want to rely primarily on modern mobile networks, a hub variant with 4G/LTE support is usually a better fit.

The hub is powered via mains voltage with the supplied adapter. In the event of a power failure, the built-in backup battery switches over, so that the system remains active for quite some time. You will receive a notification via the app, so that you have immediate insight into the situation.

– Ethernet (LAN) connection
– Mobile module provided for mobile connectivity where supported
– Power supply via 110 – 240V adapter
– Built-in backup battery up to approximately 15 hours

Position within the Ajax range

The Ajax Hub 1 is the logical choice if you are looking for a solid foundation for wireless security with clear controls and reliable notifications. The hub is strong in its simplicity and stability, making it popular as a starting point for homes and smaller businesses. If you want additional functions such as photo verification, more connection types or more advanced scenarios, a more extensive hub within the Ajax range often better suits those needs.
