Cameras for Alarm Verification
Asking us for cameras only, without an alarm system? Read first why we deliberately do not recommend that: why cameras alone are insufficient →
Cameras are always an addition to outdoor detection with us — never a replacement. Outdoors we almost always install wireless cameras for alarm verification: discreetly mounted, stored locally and meant to confirm an outdoor alarm — not to replace detection.

Verification with cameras — our approach
Standard outdoors
Wireless outdoor cameras (Wi-Fi)
Not from Ajax — but our most used outdoor solution. Fully wireless, solar power + battery, local storage. We choose the placement (often hidden) so you have footage right after an outdoor alarm.
Ajax Wi-Fi cameras
Professional Ajax video surveillance without Ethernet — an addition indoors or where Wi-Fi is already in place. Integration with hub and NVR. More about Ajax Wi-Fi →
Wired Ajax (with existing cabling)
Only when PoE or Cat6a is already in the property: professional Baseline line with NVR. In Spain always with backup power. Wired cameras overview →
In practice: on almost every installation we combine outdoor detection with wireless verification outdoors. Ajax Wi-Fi and wired Ajax are added when they fit — not as a default package.
Why we often choose wireless outdoors: in Spain burglars sometimes cut power via the open meter box at the street. Wireless cameras keep recording locally — even during a power or Wi-Fi outage the evidence is preserved. With wired Ajax we therefore always include backup power (230 V).
Person captured by a hidden camera
This video dates from October 2021 and shows a person in the garden of one of our customers. The camera was hidden on the trunk of a palm tree — the person had no idea. In complete darkness, the built-in infrared lighting produced sharp images. Thanks to outdoor detection, the siren sounded and the person fled immediately. Image quality on our cameras has since improved further (including colour footage), but we wanted to share this recording because it perfectly shows how discreetly wireless cameras can be mounted.
Cameras are verification — not a replacement
Cameras alone do not prevent break-ins. They are the perfect tool to verify an alarm from outdoor sensors — not to replace those sensors. Only outdoor detection with a siren drives intruders away immediately; the camera records it. That way you prevent damage and always have evidence.
Together, outdoor detection and cameras form the ideal combination: live viewing, listening and evidence after an event — without a monitoring centre subscription.
