Wireless system

Ajax wireless alarm

A simple, fully wireless, app-first alarm - a good fit for properties that want an easy day-to-day system without hybrid wiring.

Control methods

Smartphone app as the primary platform, plus an optional remote keypad and key fob (also usable as a panic button).

Apple Watch integration

Arm, disarm, part/night-arm, and trigger the emergency panic button directly from an Apple Watch.

Standard equipment

Pet-friendly PIR motion detectors, door contact sensors, an alarm hub with internal sounder, and a 115dB external siren.

Monitoring

24/7 dual-path monitoring included as standard, so the system stays connected even if one communication path fails.

Monitoring hardware

LiveTalk audio-response equipment

The hardware behind AMCO's audio-response monitoring - works with both the Premier Elite and Ajax ranges. See how LiveTalk works step by step.

Speaker/microphone unit

187mm x 123mm x 43mm, white finish, with a red LED activity indicator. Units can be added in blocks of 4 for larger properties. Typically installed centrally (e.g. in a hallway) for the best coverage.

Digicom digital communicator

4-channel design covering intruder, fire, panic and medical activations. Available with a fixed terminal or optional IP capability, plus optional GSM backup. Fits discreetly inside the alarm panel and is compatible with most current systems.

Common questions

The Premier Elite suits larger or more complex properties that want a hybrid wired/wireless setup with room to expand. Ajax suits properties wanting a simple, fully wireless, app-first system. See our Compact vs Premier comparison, or Ajax details on the Compact/wireless pages, for a fuller breakdown.
Yes - LiveTalk's speaker/microphone and Digicom hardware work with both the Premier Elite and Ajax ranges, giving every AMCO system genuine 24/7 audio-response monitoring, not just automated call-back.
Yes - both systems support expansion. The Premier Elite scales up to 64 wireless and 12 wired zones via expander units; Ajax sensors can be added to the existing hub.
The Ajax hub's 115dB internal sounder is built into the system itself, while an external bell box (available on both ranges) is a visible deterrent mounted outside the property.
