Advantages of a wireless alarm system for retail stores

Retail shops lose up to 2% of their turnover to theft every year. Depending on the size of the business, this results in considerable losses every day. Security and surveillance is not just about preventing theft, however. Fire, water damage or break-ins (e.g. into the warehouse) must also be taken into consideration. In particular, natural hazards usually occur at the wrong time and prove to be costly incidents that cannot be ignored.

In this article, we will show you how security and burglary protection can be addressed in retail and retail by using a wireless alarm system from Ajax Systems. With a wireless alarm system, you get an alarm solution that gives you reliable protection against burglars while remaining simple and understandable for your staff.

The alarm system adapts to your needs

Changes to the exhibition areas, the shop windows or the warehouse are usually unavoidable and are indispensable for an optimal shopping experience for your customers. A wireless alarm system allows you to adapt the wireless alarm system flexibly and at any time to the respective requirements. Thanks to state-of-the-art radio technology, installation problems are a thing of the past and a sensor can be repositioned within a very short time without the use of tools.

Up to 150 devices can be connected to a central hub of the Ajax Systems wireless alarm system. By using radio repeaters, the range can be easily extended so that the sales area and the remote warehouse can be monitored simultaneously.

Integration of an existing surveillance camera installation

An intuitive operability is always guaranteed with Ajax Systems. All information and status of the different detectors and sensors are easily accessible via a smartphone. The alarm system has a flexible access system and can be integrated directly with a security service. Thanks to the "Pro" version, the in-house security department can also make flexible adjustments to the system without disrupting ongoing operations.

With the available keypad controls, radio remote controls and panic buttons, employees can easily interact with the wireless alarm system even without a mobile device. This makes focusing or disarming the alarm system a snap.

If you have an existing video surveillance system, it can be easily integrated into the alarm system. The IP surveillance cameras of most leading manufacturers (PARTIZAN) are supported.

Comprehensive protection: fire, water, carbon monoxide (CO) and acoustic feedback

Thanks to the FireProtect (fire), FireProtect Plus (fire + CO) and LeaksProtect (water) sensors, you can detect natural hazards quickly and reliably, and you can also loudly signal the detections via HomeSiren (siren for indoor use) and StreetSiren (siren for outdoor use). By integrating a wireless relay, you can remotely control electrical locks, shutters and barriers or restart frozen network devices. These smart functions also allow you to automatically shut down the shutters when the wireless alarm system is armed, for example.
