Wireless Burglar Alarms

A wireless burglar alarm is built around a hub or control panel that talks to its detectors by radio, so the system goes in without running cable out to the detectors. This page holds those hubs, panels and kits: the Ajax Hub 2 Plus and the battery-powered Hub BP Jeweller, Hikvision AX PRO kits in 64-zone and 96-zone sizes plus the DS-PWA64-L-WE panel on its own, and the Pyronix Enforcer V11 ENF/KIT1-UK kit.

Choosing Wireless Burglar Alarms

Settle the make of hub first, because detectors, keyfobs and sirens are paired to a hub of the same make, then size it by device count, reporting paths and standby power.

Ajax hubs

The Ajax Hub 2 Plus is rated for 200 Ajax devices and 200 users, reports over Ethernet, Wi-Fi and two cellular SIM slots, and receives MotionCam photos over its Wings channel. The Hub BP Jeweller 93601.263.WH1 runs from internal and external batteries for vacant buildings, construction sites and other places without reliable mains, with up to 100 devices, two micro-SIM slots and external antenna connectors.

Hikvision AX PRO

Hikvision secures the AX PRO radio link with AES-128 and runs it two-way on 868 MHz. The DS-PWA64-L-WE panel takes 64 wireless zones, counting keyfobs, repeaters and sounders, and holds a 4520 mAh backup battery; the DS-PWA64-Kit2-WE kit is built around it. The DS-PWA96-KIT1-WE and DS-PWA96-Kit2-WE kits take 96 zones, or 48 PIRCAM devices, across 32 areas and support PIRCAM video verification.

Pyronix Enforcer

The Pyronix ENF/KIT1-UK is an Enforcer V11 hybrid kit with a two-way wireless panel, an onboard DIGI-Wi-Fi communicator, KX pet immune PIR detectors with a range of up to 10m, two wireless keyfobs and a wireless Deltabell module. The cover and backplate are not part of the kit.

Frequently asked questions

Which wireless alarm hub works where there is no mains power?

A battery-powered wireless alarm hub works where there is no mains power, because it runs on internal or external batteries instead of a mains supply. The Ajax Hub BP Jeweller is designed for sites without permanent mains, such as vacant properties, remote or temporary sites and construction sites. It supports photo verification and has two micro-SIM slots and external antenna connectors.

How many devices can a wireless alarm hub take?

It depends on the hub or panel: check the maximum number of wireless devices or zones its maker rates it for. The Ajax Hub 2 Plus takes up to 200 Ajax devices and the Hub BP Jeweller up to 100. Hikvision's DS-PWA64-L-WE panel takes 64 wireless zones, and the DS-PWA96 kits up to 96 zones, or up to 48 PIRCAM devices.

Will a wireless alarm keep working in a power cut?

Yes, if its hub or panel has a backup battery, which keeps the system running for a time after the mains supply fails. The Ajax Hub 2 Plus has a built-in Li-ion backup battery rated for up to about 15 hours, and the Hikvision DS-PWA64-L-WE panel an integrated 4520 mAh lithium backup battery. The three AX PRO kits have a typical backup of up to about 12 hours.

What is photo verification on a wireless alarm?

Photo verification sends pictures of an alarm event so it can be validated before anyone responds. On the Ajax Hub 2 Plus, MotionCam detectors send one to five photos per event over the Wings channel, arriving in about 9 seconds depending on the connection. Hikvision AX PRO kits such as the DS-PWA64-Kit2-WE verify alarms with short clips from PIRCAM detectors.

What are the AX PRO 96 zone kit contents?

An AX PRO 96 zone kit is built around a control panel that takes up to 96 wireless zones, or up to 48 PIRCAM devices. The DS-PWA96-Kit2-WE pairs its DS-PWA96-M-WE panel with a DS-PK1-E-WE keypad, a DS-PS1-E-WE internal siren, two DS-PDP15P-EG2-WE wireless PIR detectors and a DS-PDMC-EG2-WE magnetic contact. The DS-PWA96-KIT1-WE also centres on a DS-PWA96 control panel.

What does a Pyronix Enforcer kit include?

A Pyronix Enforcer kit is a wireless burglar alarm kit built around a two-way wireless Enforcer panel. The Enforcer V11 ENF/KIT1-UK adds a DIGI-Wi-Fi communicator to the panel, with KX pet immune PIR detectors that have a range of up to 10m, two wireless keyfobs and a wireless Deltabell module. Its cover and backplate are not included.
