Ajax's Hub 2 Plus redefines home security with integrated resilience and multi-layer detection

Ajax unveils the Hub 2 Plus, a centralised security system that combines intrusion, fire, and leak alerts into a single, resilient platform designed for remote management and continuous protection even during connectivity disruptions.

Ajax is positioning its Hub 2 Plus as the centrepiece of a more integrated approach to home security, combining intrusion detection, fire and leak alerts, and remote control in a single app. According to Ajax’s own support material, the hub can handle up to 200 devices and communicates through Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two SIM cards, giving it multiple paths for alerts if one connection fails. It also includes geofence reminders so the system can prompt users to arm or disarm it based on their location.

That resilience matters because the Ajax model depends on maintaining protection even when a property is isolated from broadband or subjected to interference. The company says the hub is designed to keep working during signal disruption and to automate routine actions through scenarios, while the system remains manageable from the Ajax app. For homeowners who want professional-style control without a wired installation, that is a notable shift away from the usual choice between low-cost DIY kits and monitored alarm contracts.

Perimeter coverage is built around the MotionCam Outdoor, which Ajax describes as a wireless detector with a built-in camera for alarm verification. Its documentation says it uses two infrared sensors, can send one to five photos after activation, and operates on a separate WINGS protocol to speed up image delivery even when radio conditions are poor. The device is also designed to ignore pets when installed correctly, and third-party product listings describe anti-masking protection and weather resistance for outdoor use.

Inside the house, the same logic is extended through motion detection, photo verification and access control. Ajax says the indoor MotionCam can capture a sequence of images after detecting movement, helping users distinguish a genuine intrusion from an ordinary domestic trigger such as a curtain or pet. The company also offers keypad and keyfob options for arming and disarming, with event logging built into the platform so each change of state is recorded automatically.

The broader attraction is that Ajax treats fire, flood and intrusion as part of one security layer rather than separate systems. Its support documentation says the hub can report smoke, heat, carbon monoxide and water-leak events alongside break-ins, all through the same app and alert workflow. That makes the system more coherent than a typical mix of devices from different brands, and it explains why Ajax is often presented as a serious option for homeowners who want a single, technically unified platform rather than a collection of loosely connected gadgets.
