Prevents unnecessary disturbance
A nanny came back from the store and forgot to disarm the security system. The alarm went off, but the parents were calm. MotionCam has made a series of pictures to reveal the cause.
Spots the hidden threats
The alarm went off at the office. The Ajax security system has sent the photos from the MotionCam detectors to the staff. Be careful! The criminals have guns.
Looks after the house at night
The burglars broke in at night. Thanks to the IR backlight, their details were apparent on the MotionCam pictures. The police patrol caught the burglars in the act.
Engineered to respect privacy
MotionCam is designed to control your security, not your personal life. The motion detector is unable to take pictures by request. The camera activates only in response to a motion alarm. The data is encrypted throughout the processes of transmission and storage. No one analyzes it, even the AI. You won’t need to live under the constant supervision of the security cameras to know why the alarm went off.

Only when the motion is detected, MotionCam takes pictures and transmits them to the Ajax Cloud storage. All data sent to Ajax Cloud is protected with AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. Only the hub authorized users can have access to their Ajax Cloud virtual storage and see the pictures made with the MotionCam devices linked to their hub. Ajax Cloud is based on the AWS servers which are fully compatible with the GDPR regulations.
Dispels any suspicions
MotionCam ignores pets (up to 50 cm in height) using the SmartDetect algorithm. But if an especially curious pet manages to set off the alarm, the following photo report will confirm that the house is safe.

MotionCam simultaneously uses two specialized radio protocols: Jeweller for sending instantaneous alarms and Wings for rapid image delivery. You’ll receive the first snapshot of the event within 9 seconds after motion is detected. As usual, the alarm notification will arrive in a split of a second, even if the signal is unstable.
You can set up MotionCam at a distance of up to 1700 meters from the hub to establish visual control of the most critical areas. The new detector features a record-breaking operating efficiency with up to 4 years of battery life.Two-way communication
