Ajax - AI Powered Visual Verification
For the modern bureau, the Ajax surveillance suite—powered by IMS—delivers the pinnacle of verified intelligence by using built-in Neural Processing Units (NPU) to filter out environmental noise.
This ensures IMS control rooms only receive high-priority alerts involving humans or vehicles, allowing for a focused and efficient response.
Proactive Detection
The Ajax cameras
IMS utilises the TurretCam, BulletCam, and DomeCam Mini models to provide comprehensive site visibility and professional-grade security. These cameras are engineered for both indoor and outdoor environments, offering high-definition resolutions up to 8MP (4K) to ensure every detail is captured with clarity. By using the proprietary JetSparrow protocol, these devices deliver near-instant, encrypted video streaming to the IMS monitoring centre, providing a seamless bridge between high-end hardware and A1-graded professional oversight.
Object Recognition
Every Ajax camera in the IMS range features an onboard Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that performs advanced AI-driven Object Recognition. Unlike traditional cameras that react to any pixel change, these units are trained to identify and categorise targets specifically as Humans, Vehicles, or Pets. This intelligence allows the system to ignore irrelevant environmental movement—such as swaying trees or passing shadows—ensuring that only genuine security events are flagged for review by our operators.
Selective Alerting
To ensure an efficient and non-intrusive security experience, IMS configures these systems for Selective Alerting. This feature allows the bureau to define exactly which objects or zones should trigger a response from the monitoring team. For instance, a site can be set to ignore domestic animals during the day but provide an immediate, high-priority alert to IMS the moment a human enters a restricted perimeter after hours. This precision reduces "alarm fatigue" and ensures that our response resources are always focused on real-world threats.
Unified Transmission: JetSparrow & Ajax Cloud
The Jet Sparrow Integration
Unlike traditional P2P systems that often suffer from high latency and buffering, JetSparrow is engineered to provide a professional VMS (Video Management System) experience. It ensures that the high-definition data from the site reaches the IMS monitoring centre without delay, turning raw footage into actionable evidence in real-time.
Ultra-Fast Live Streaming
JetSparrow provides an almost instantaneous "Live View" with no lag, allowing IMS operators to observe a site in real-time as if they were physically present.
Seamless Archive Navigation
By utilizing dual-stream technology, the system allows operators to scrub through 4K archives smoothly. They can jump to specific event timestamps immediately from an alarm notification, eliminating the need to manually search through hours of footage.
Privacy-First Architecture
Security is managed through a "Privacy" menu in the Ajax app, ensuring full compliance with Australian privacy regulations. The system owner retains absolute control, with the ability to grant or revoke IMS monitoring access instantly and view a detailed log of all access attempts.
Key Advantages for bureaus
1. Operational Efficiency: AI-Powered "Signal over Noise"
Traditional monitoring is often plagued by "alarm fatigue," where operators must sift through hundreds of false triggers caused by wind, rain, or small animals.
- Intelligent Filtering: Every Ajax camera uses an onboard Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to categorise movement instantly. By only flagging "Human" or "Vehicle" detections, the system filters out up to 90% of environmental noise.
- Operator Focus: Because IMS operators are only alerted to verified threats, they can respond with 100% focus and speed. This significantly reduces the "mean time to respond" (MTTR), ensuring that a real intruder is never missed amongst a sea of false alarms.
2. Seamless Integration: Zero-Configuration Connectivity
Historically, connecting a camera to a monitoring station required complex network "hole-punching" like port forwarding or fixed IP addresses—both of which create significant security vulnerabilities.
- The Ajax Cloud Handshake: IMS connects to your site via the Ajax Cloud, which acts as a secure, encrypted bridge. There is no need to modify the client's router settings or firewall.
- Plug-and-Play Reliability: This "zero-config" approach means bureaus can deploy sites faster and with fewer technical errors. If a client changes their internet service provider or router, the encrypted handshake remains intact, ensuring continuous monitoring without a technician visit.
3. Scalability: High-Density Monitoring without Performance Loss
As a bureau grows, managing the data load of dozens of high-definition cameras can strain traditional monitoring infrastructure.
- Efficient Data Handling: The Ajax NVR and JetSparrow protocol are designed for "Dual-Stream" transmission. The system sends a lightweight "preview" stream for immediate viewing while simultaneously keeping the full 4K "evidence" stream ready for deep-dive analysis.
- NVR Synergy: Bureaus can scale from a single camera to a 16-channel NVR (or multiple NVRs) effortlessly. Because the Ajax NVR handles the heavy lifting of recording and AI processing locally, the IMS monitoring station can oversee hundreds of cameras simultaneously without a lag in notification delivery or system stability.
