Ajax indoor and outdoor sirens
Sirens for a wide range of alarm and event alerts
Multi-purpose functionality for enhanced security
Ajax sirens serve five primary purposes. They report alarms, deter intruders, inform about delays when entering/leaving, indicate security mode, and inform about open doors (Chime feature). Wired or wireless, the sirens ensure reliability regardless of the communication channel.

Clear and customizable indications
Ajax sirens also serve as indicators, with sound and LED settings customization. Alarms can be set to their maximum volume for attention-grabbing alerts or to silent mode with LED indication only. For instance, sirens can be activated during intrusions while remaining silent for water leak detection. Settings are available through mobile and desktop apps. Due to such adaptability, the system can meet individual user requirements.
Long-range connectivity with energy efficiency
Ajax sirens communicate with the hub at a distance of up to 2,000 m in an open space. Wireless models operate on pre-installed batteries for up to 5 years, while wired devices require minimum power consumption. This combination of long-range connectivity and low-power design enables reliable security solutions even across large facilities, reducing the need for maintenance.
Leading reliability
Ajax sirens are protected against forgery and jamming, have a tamper to resist enclosure openings and accelerometers to prevent detachment1. All devices perform automatic self-diagnosis and report their states to the hub. Essential parameters like communication, power supply, and tamper state are continuously monitored. CMS and users are immediately notified of any malfunction or communication failure.
Protection options depend on the siren model.
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.
Security sirens: reliable indoor and outdoor alerts for enhanced protection
Security sirens are essential for modern alarm systems, providing crucial audible and visual alerts that inform property owners, neighbors, and even potential intruders of security events. They serve as both a deterrent and a notification mechanism, offering a comprehensive way to reinforce property safety. While indoor sirens focus on alerting occupants within a building, outdoor sirens are designed to amplify notifications in wider, open spaces, making them vital for properties of all sizes.
Why outdoor security sirens are essential
Outdoor sirens play a unique role in security systems by extending alerts beyond the building, allowing neighbors or bystanders to become aware of potential incidents, and deterring would-be intruders. An outdoor siren can make all the difference in areas where properties may be spaced apart or when fast reaction times are crucial. By delivering loud, unmistakable signals when a threat is detected, these sirens help protect against burglary and intrusion from the first step onto the property.
Essential functions and features of security sirens
Security sirens are multi-functional devices with a range of features tailored to enhance system functionality:
- Intrusion deterrence: The primary function of a siren is to deter unauthorized access by alerting occupants and neighbors to potential threats. This visual and acoustic response is often enough to discourage further actions by intruders, as it signals that security measures are in place.
- Alarm confirmation: Sirens confirm alarm events with distinctive alerts, ensuring that anyone nearby knows what's happening. For example, during a break-in, a siren's blaring sound paired with strobe lights immediately conveys the seriousness of the situation.
- System status indications: Besides alarm responses, sirens can signal system status, such as entry and exit delays. This can be particularly useful for users to ensure the system is functioning correctly as they arm or disarm it or as a gentle reminder to exit or enter before the alarm is fully armed.
- Chime feature for open doors: Some sirens support a chime feature, emitting a subtle sound when doors or windows are opened. This feature is useful for tracking entry points without activating a full alarm.
By fulfilling these roles, sirens provide safety and convenience for property owners, adding value through various functional layers.
Customizable alerts and notifications
One of the standout features of security sirens is their customization options. Sirens can be set to different volumes and alert types based on the type of event or threat. For instance, they may emit a loud, attention-grabbing signal in the event of a burglary but remain silent for notifications such as water leaks, where only LED indications are used. This flexibility ensures that the alarm system can suit the unique needs of each user and property type.
Additionally, users can control settings for each siren through mobile and desktop apps, which allows for remote configuration and real-time adjustments. Whether reducing the volume to avoid noise in certain environments or activating strobe lights to signal specific alerts, these apps enable tailored siren management.
Long-range connectivity and energy efficiency
Security sirens are designed for robust connectivity and energy efficiency, maximizing reliability and performance:
- Long-range communication: Many modern sirens are engineered to stay connected to the security hub from distances as far as 2,000 meters in open spaces, ensuring reliable performance even across expansive properties.
- Wireless and wired options: Wireless sirens typically operate on long-lasting batteries, providing up to five years of operation without needing replacements, while wired models use minimal power, further enhancing energy efficiency. This combination of long-range connectivity and low-power operation reduces maintenance needs and keeps the system running seamlessly.
These features make security sirens highly adaptable for residential and commercial properties, enabling consistent performance even in challenging setups.
Anti-tampering and high-reliability
Reliability is critical in security sirens, especially for preventing tampering and interference. Many sirens include several protective features:
- Tamper resistance: Equipped with tamper sensors, these devices detect any attempts to open or damage the casing, immediately notifying the hub if tampering is suspected.
- Accelerometer protection: Some sirens are designed with accelerometers to detect when they are removed or dislodged from their mount. This feature adds a layer of security by ensuring that the device remains secure on its designated fixture.
- Anti-jamming measures: Security sirens often incorporate anti-jamming technology to maintain uninterrupted communication, prevent interference, and ensure that alerts are reliably sent even if an intruder attempts signal jamming.
By continuously monitoring parameters such as battery life, communication signal, and tamper status, the system ensures users and monitoring centers are alerted to any potential issues, enhancing the siren's overall dependability.
Flexible system compatibility and product lines
Security sirens are often part of broader product lines that allow for compatibility across different devices, creating a cohesive and flexible security system. Whether the setup requires a wired system for a larger commercial property or a wireless solution for a small residence, mixing and matching devices based on need ensures that users can build a tailored setup. This interoperability is essential for creating security systems that meet specific property requirements and can be scaled or modified over time.
Final thoughts
Security sirens, both indoor and outdoor, are powerful additions to any alarm system. They extend the reach and effectiveness of alerts to keep property and occupants safe. Through their robust alarm and notification capabilities, long-range connectivity, and anti-tampering features, sirens act as both a preventative measure and a responsive system component. Customizable, adaptable, and secure, they provide an essential layer of protection that ensures users are always informed of security events, reinforcing peace of mind for property owners.
