The Boat Owner’s Challenge
Every boat owner understands the value of their vessel, both in monetary terms and sentimental. Yet, the options available to protect this asset often boil down to two:
- Investing in specialized boat security systems that can set one back by several thousands of dollars.
- Adapting car or motorcycle alarms for the marine setting – a solution that, while cheaper, is often riddled with compatibility issues and lacks comprehensive features.
The AJAX security system offers a refreshing alternative to these traditional options. Here’s why it’s the preferred choice for modern boat owners:
- Cost-Effective: AJAX systems offer advanced security features that rival even the most expensive boat-specific systems, but at a fraction of the cost.
- Sleek Design: With minimalist and modern aesthetics, AJAX devices effortlessly blend with the luxurious interiors of most yachts and boats.
- Easy Installation: Gone are the days of complex wiring and time-consuming installations. AJAX systems come with wireless detectors. Just scan a QR code, and your device is ready for action.
- Cellular and App Integration: With support for cellular connectivity and dedicated mobile apps, boat owners can receive real-time alerts. Whether you’re onshore or offshore, you’re always connected to your boat.
- Power Efficient: AJAX devices are battery-powered, ensuring that they remain functional without draining the boat’s power resources. With backup batteries in place, the security system remains alert, even when everything else is off.
- Compatibility: AJAX provides integration options, allowing the security setup to work seamlessly with a boat’s onboard software.
Solution
Ajax security systems integrated via a proprietary API with wireless detectors that fit both luxury yachts interiors and tight budgets
Once tested Ajax devices, Marine Energy Systems’ engineers appreciated a hassle-free approach to system installation. All detectors are equipped with SmartBracket panels — there is no need to disassemble the enclosure. To connect a detector to the system, an engineer just scans a QR code with the Ajax app, and the device is ready for configuring. The system parameters and detector configuration can be done from desktop or mobile apps. This system feature helps Marine Energy Systems in providing remote technical support throughout the entire vessel lifecycle.
Battery power became another practical aspect. Wireless devices do not require a power supply from a vessel at all. In turn, Ajax control panels — hubs — can be connected to the onboard electricity via the 6 V power supply unit. Backup batteries and low power consumption ensure long-lasting protection with no additional maintenance. Depending on the model, hubs support 2G/3G/4G SIM cards and Wi-Fi providing stable connectivity — no need to purchase and install extra communication modules.
To integrate security system management with vessel software, Ajax provides engineers with the Enterprise API. This API allows to display the security information as it is available in the Ajax apps:
- System settings and devices configuration
- Security groups information
- System users and their permissions
- Event feed
- Security modes
- Power supply statuses
- Surveillance cameras streams
