At the same time, privacy risks — such as unauthorized access or hacking — raise concerns about installing cameras in homes and offices. But what if an indoor camera could guarantee stable connectivity, protect privacy, and deliver reliable performance when it matters most?

Ajax IndoorCam changes everything. Designed for private households, small offices, and small to medium businesses, it combines Wi-Fi flexibility with Ajax’s professional security standards. Featuring a fallback communication channel via the Jeweller radio protocol, built-in AI, and encrypted data transmission, IndoorCam ensures reliable monitoring without compromise. First introduced at Ajax Special Event: Multiverse, the camera embodies the next step in smart security, offering stability, privacy, and seamless integration with an Ajax security system.

Key features and innovations

IndoorCam is designed to deliver security and clear video evidence in any indoor environment. Every aspect — from image quality to intelligent motion detection — is built for convenient monitoring and instant threat verification.

Smart video surveillance

High-quality video is essential for effective security. IndoorCam features a 4 MP CMOS sensor (2688 × 1520 px) with HDR technology, delivering sharp, color-accurate images, even in challenging lighting conditions. HDR enhances details in both bright and dark areas, preventing overexposed highlights and deep shadows that could obscure crucial details. When the lights go out, IR illumination with automatic adjustment ensures clear visibility for up to 26 ft.

Whether monitoring a hallway or a large living room, IndoorCam’s impressive viewing angles — 110° horizontal and 60° vertical — help minimize blind spots and capture an expansive scene with a single camera.

To enhance detection accuracy, IndoorCam is equipped with a PIR sensor that detects movement up to 13 ft away, identifies heat-emitting objects, and filters out false alarms caused by swaying curtains or heating systems. Even in environments where weak Wi-Fi connectivity may result in video lag, the PIR sensor instantly alerts the security system upon detecting motion, ensuring timely alarm transmission.

AI-powered object recognition transforms IndoorCam from a standard surveillance device into an intelligent monitoring tool. The device accurately detects movement and recognizes people, animals, and vehicles. Users can even customize notifications based on object type. This way, IndoorCam highlights only the most relevant events — for example, notifying users when a person is detected within a set timeframe. Notifications about each specific detection event can be received via Ajax apps and displayed in the dedicated Video tab within the notification feed. Users can also choose whether to share event alerts with monitoring companies. 

The AI processes events directly in the camera, eliminating the need for additional equipment or subscriptions. Both users and security personnel can easily monitor spaces via smartphone or desktop apps, receiving instant notifications when movement is detected — no specialized security training required.

For even greater awareness of on-site activity, IndoorCam features a built-in microphone with always-active noise suppression and echo cancellation, which ensures high-quality audio. With HD video streaming and two-way audio, users and security professionals can always see, hear, and respond to any situation immediately using a smartphone or PC. Whether deterring unwanted visitors or checking in on protected spaces, IndoorCam ensures clear communication and valuable context for security footage.

Privacy-first approach

Privacy is at the core of Ajax IndoorCam. Every feature is designed to give users complete control over their data, access, and visibility settings.

• Privacy zones. Users can define privacy zones to selectively hide specific parts of the frame. For example, if a safe or a workstation is within the camera's view, they can be excluded from recording, while surrounding activity remains visible. This ensures confidential information remains protected in both residential and commercial settings.
• End-to-end encryption. All video and audio transmissions are fully encrypted to protect data from interception, ensuring that only authorized users can access live streams and recordings. Each cloud-endpoint interaction is authenticated through encrypted certificates, eliminating password-related risks. 
• Passwordless authentication. IndoorCam does not use default passwords, removing a common security vulnerability. Instead, passwordless authentication via the mTLS protocol ensures a secure connection, allowing the camera to be linked to only one Ajax security system.
• User-controlled access. Once the system is installed, only the end user has control — no backdoors, no hidden access. The Privacy tab in the Ajax app allows users to grant, modify, or revoke access to live streams and recordings¹ at any time. Permissions are fully customizable, therefore only authorized individuals, as designated by the system administrator, can access visual data.

Advanced video management

Video footage is only as valuable as the ability to access and analyze it efficiently. With the JetSparrow technology, Ajax NVR, Ajax Cloud Storage, and efficient archive¹ navigation, IndoorCam ensures effortless video management — whether for live monitoring or reviewing past events.

Lightning-fast video transmission with JetSparrow

At the core of Ajax video surveillance is JetSparrow, a proprietary video transmission protocol designed for instant access to live streams and video archives. It delivers high-speed loading, ensuring smooth archive navigation without delays. Additionally, end-to-end encryption safeguards video data, while dual-streaming technology optimizes bandwidth usage. As a result, browsing the archive¹ feels seamless, and live video starts instantly.

Flexible storage options

IndoorCam adapts to different security needs with multiple storage solutions:

• Ajax NVR: A video recorder with up to 16 TB of local storage, providing rapid system response with instant archive access. If the project requires it, NVR allows for continuous, uninterrupted video recording.
• Ajax Cloud Storage: A secure cloud storage solution for event-based recordings that keeps critical footage accessible even if local storage is compromised or devices go offline — no additional hardware required. The built-in AI recognizes people, vehicles, and animals, giving users the option to choose which object types should be recorded. Only the footage that matters most will be stored.

Effortless archive management

Gone are the days of endlessly scrolling through footage to find critical moments. Smart search tools provide convenient access to recordings:

• Click on an event in the notification log to jump straight to the corresponding video.
• Filter footage by motion or specific scenarios, such as detected people, vehicles, or animals, for faster searches.
• Navigate using a calendar view to quickly locate events by date.

Ajaxʼs signature features

Data protection you can trust

IndoorCam is designed with privacy and security at its essence. All system data is securely stored within the European Union, ensuring compliance with strict EU data protection regulations. Video recordings are encrypted during storage and transmission, preventing unauthorized access.

Ajax provides secure video export with built-in digital signature² verification. Each exported recording includes a unique digital signature, ensuring the file’s authenticity. The Ajax Media Player automatically verifies the integrity of the video — if any modifications were made, the signature validation fails, and the player rejects the file with a clear explanation. This guarantees that video evidence remains legally reliable, making it suitable for security investigations and legal use.

IndoorCam is also NDAA-compliant, with every component sourced from manufacturers approved by the U.S. government. Independent cybersecurity tests confirm the device’s safety and reliability, reinforcing Ajax’s commitment to secure video surveillance.
