AJAX shall not accept any responsibility for any actions or inactions of any third party providing emergency response services.

Restrictions on the use of CCTV cameras: Recordings from video surveillance cameras (both Ajax brand and third-party manufacturers) when used with the Ajax Software are stored by default on the camera’s internal storage with access to them exclusively by the end user. When using video surveillance cameras, you, as an end user, can grant account administration rights to third parties, such as installers, security companies, etc.
