Ajax opening detectors
Door and window opening detectors
At the forefront of facility protection
Opening detectors are small devices reacting to door or window opening or tilt, as well as shocks, to detect an intrusion attempt. A simple yet precise reed-switch mechanism combined with a minimalistic design makes these devices reliable guards for any facility.
Explore the unique features of Ajax opening detectors
Essential protection with versatile functionality
Door and window opening detectors are an essential element of any alarm system. Wired and wireless Ajax devices can detect door or window opening, tilt, and shocks1. Opening detectors can also activate sirens and trigger automation scenarios by alarm. Additionally, the devices support third-party detectors’ integration. All these features make opening detectors an important part of Ajax security system.
Complete control via an app
Ajax opening detectors are managed via Ajax apps. Users can view the device status, which device triggered an alarm, what kind of alarm it was, as well as when and where it happened. All information is available in an event log and via informative push notifications. The apps also allow configuring, testing, and changing device settings remotely.
Top-tier reliability
Thanks to advanced hardware and software, Ajax opening detectors feature physical integrity and data safety. The detectors have a tamper button for protection against device detachment and a magnetometer against magnet spoofing2. At the software level, both wired and wireless opening detectors use proprietary Ajax protocols with encryption and device authentication to prevent sabotage, spoofing, and data theft. The devices have self-diagnostics and inform a hub about their status through regular polling.
Supported alarm types vary depending on the device model.
Magnet spoofing protection is available only for Superior DoorProtect G3 Fibra.
Ajax product categories
In an Ajax system, you can combine devices of all product categories: Intrusion protection (both Superior and Baseline), Video surveillance, Fire and life safety, or Comfort and automation. Create the system to suit your needs and manage it in a single interface.
Door and window opening detectors: essential components for security
Door and window opening detectors are crucial for securing entry points. They provide immediate alerts when a door or window is opened or tampered with. Designed to protect access points, these devices can function as standalone alarms or integrate with broader security systems. Whether installed on doors or windows, they are a proactive defense against unauthorized access and intrusion attempts.
Door and window alarm sensors with targeted features
Door and window alarm sensors vary in design to suit their intended applications. However, most operate using a reed switch mechanism that detects the separation between the magnet and the sensor when an entry point opens. For doors, a door open detector can provide instant alerts for unexpected access, notifying users if a door has been opened without authorization. For additional security, some door sensors feature shock or tilt detection, which can trigger an alert before any opening, adding an extra level of response to forced entry attempts.
Window alarm sensors, likewise, can detect unauthorized openings, tilt, or vibrations to address tampering. Sensors that respond to slight shifts or shocks benefit window applications, making them ideal for sliding or lift-and-pull windows. Many models include adjustable settings to tailor the sensitivity for unique window styles, further enhancing their functionality in various environments.
Flexible installation options
Opening detectors come in wired and wireless options to meet the needs of different setups. A wireless door opening sensor is perfect for quick, hassle-free installation and is especially useful for locations without pre-existing wiring. Wired door sensors provide reliable, continuous communication, which can be particularly valuable for facilities requiring constant monitoring and power stability. Both types offer similar functionalities and can be incorporated into larger security systems for added protection and control.
Complete control through mobile management
Door and window alarms often feature mobile app integration, providing users immediate notifications when a door sensor alarm is triggered. Users can view each detector’s status through an app, access event logs, and adjust device settings remotely. This level of control allows for immediate action on alerts, reducing response times to potential security incidents. Additionally, users can review historical data and customize alerts, ensuring they stay informed about any activity near critical entry points.
Reliability and tamper protection
Modern door and window alarm sensors are built with enhanced tamper protection to maintain security integrity. Many door open detectors are equipped with anti-tamper buttons, alerting users if someone attempts to remove or interfere with the device. Specific advanced models include protection against magnet spoofing, preventing intruders from bypassing the sensor with external magnetic fields. Combined with encrypted communication protocols, this tamper-proof design ensures that the data transmitted from door and window opening detectors remains secure and accurate, mitigating interference or unauthorized access risks.
Tailored compatibility and integration
Door and window opening detectors are highly versatile and designed to work alongside other sensors and components in broader security systems. They integrate easily into systems for various properties, making it possible to build customized configurations based on specific security needs. Whether used independently or as part of a more extensive setup, these open detectors provide dependable, front-line security for doors and windows in residential, commercial, or industrial environments.
