The best alarm system in 2024:
Hikvision AX Pro
Hikvision is the largest camera manufacturer in the world. Hikvision produces as many as 220.000 cameras per day. Hikvision also markets under 50 other brands of cameras, such as Ezviz, which all come from the same factories.
So chances are you already have something from Hikvision in your home, or have heard of it at some point. In the Netherlands, for example, all government buildings are equipped with Hikvision security and cameras.
Since 2021, Hikvision has launched the latest alarm system on the market with the model name AX PRO. Every year, the software is further improved and new detectors are released. This new fully wireless alarm system offers great intrusion detection both inside and outside the home.
Hikvision is not offered at large online shops or DIY stores. For this, you really need to go to a specialist company like us because the possibilities are endless.
All notifications from the system, such as burglary, come straight to your own smartphone for free, and the system works completely without monthly charges.
The AX Pro alarm system offers the most advantages of all alarm systems available worldwide. These include the detectors’ huge wireless range of up to 2,000 metres, low power consumption that makes batteries last up to 7 years, and highly reliable intrusion detectors with video verification that really shows.
The photo quality of the detectors with built-in camera is sublime, appearing on your smartphone within seconds of activation. So you immediately know what action to take in case of a burglary report.
The AX Pro alarm system is the only alarm system that truly links intruder detectors with cameras. If you receive a burglary report from a particular motion detector, the externally paired Hikvision camera will also immediately show the recording of that movement, both inside and outside the house. This feature is unique in security land.
In addition to indoor and outdoor motion detectors, the Hikvision AX Pro range also includes door contacts, vibration contacts, smoke detectors, temperature monitoring, water detection, panic buttons, and switches for operating gates and doors.
Like many modern systems, the AX Pro alarm system uses an App on your smartphone. With the Hik-connect app, you install and control everything from Hikvision.
Advantages:
- Easier to use than most other alarm systems, all in one application on your smartphone.
- Hikvision is the only manufacturer that can automatically and wirelessly update detectors with new software. Thus, your system does not get worse as it ages, but rather better, as the latest software from the manufacturer is constantly uploaded to all devices. With other brands, you have to send the detector back to the factory to update the software, and of course nobody starts that.
- Constant monitoring of wireless signal. Deliberate disruption / sabotage of signal is noticed immediately and communicated via the App to user.
- Constant connection to the Cloud ensures that any disruption / sabotage of power, internet or mobile network is noticed immediately.
- Indoor siren of 110db, which is louder than most other brands.
- Connection to monitoring centre possible, but not mandatory.
- No monthly fee to use all functions.
- Intrusion detection both inside and outside, with many expansion options.
- Extremely durable, batteries in detectors last up to 7 years.
- Detectors report to the control centre every minute to ensure correct operation.
- Detection zone test with sound signal, making it easy to test during daytime during system installation.
- Large wireless range of detectors up to 2,000 metres and extendable with extenders up to 8 kilometres.
- Detector status clearly displayed in App, such as signal strength and battery.
- Intrusion verification always possible with photo and video.
- Pet-friendly, Hikvision outdoor detectors are the most reliable, and do not generate an alarm when cats are seen or the weather changes.
- False alarms can always be ruled out by the “double tap” function. This allows a sensor to go into alarm only on two movements within the preset number of seconds. This feature is unique and only available from Hikvision.
- Best protection against detectors creeping under.
- Higher IP certification on waterproofness of outdoor detectors than many other brands.
- Possibility to have loud siren sound only after several seconds or minutes and receive the intrusion notification only on your smartphone first. Ideal for at night when you are at home yourself, but don’t want to wake up the whole street immediately.
- Easy operation via App, or remote control or keypad or tag or automatically time-based.
- Electric gates can be operated with the standard remote control.
Critical notifications in the smartphone App HikConnect can be activated, so that one always receives all notifications, regardless of the sound profile.
