Tamper alarm

The board has a connector for attaching a tamper board. The tamper board detects when the Ajax Case lid is opened and notifies of attempts to detach Ajax Case with the installed hub from the surface.

Protection against spoofing

device authentication

Frequency hopping

The hub sends notifications of jamming or connection loss with the devices to all users and the monitoring company.

Jamming detection

The hub analyzes the noise level in the channel and the communication quality with added devices and sends a notification within 30 seconds.
