Ajax Wireless Alarm Installation in Mexborough
MP Electrical installs Ajax wireless alarm systems across Mexborough and the Dearne Valley. Ajax is a professional-grade wireless security platform — Grade 2 certified, encrypted, jam-resistant, and controlled entirely from your phone. No cables through your walls, no disruption to your home, and installation typically completed in a single visit. Every job is carried out personally by Mat.
Why Ajax Suits Mexborough’s Housing
Mexborough’s varied housing stock — from Victorian terraces on Bank Street and High Street to the inter-war council properties on the Shimmer estate and Dolcliffe Road — makes traditional wired alarm systems expensive and disruptive to install. Running cables through solid stone and brick walls, under concrete floors, and through properties that have been extended and modified over decades is a significant undertaking.
Ajax removes this problem entirely. The system uses Jeweller radio protocol — a purpose-built encrypted wireless technology with anti-jamming and a range that covers any residential property. Sensors mount with small brackets and require no cable connections. For Mexborough’s terraced properties in particular, where internal access between floors can be limited and walls are solid, a wireless system is the practical choice.
The Ajax System Explained
The Ajax Hub is the central controller. It connects to your broadband for primary communication and has a SIM card slot for mobile network backup — so alerts reach your phone even if your broadband goes down or an intruder cuts your phone line. The hub communicates wirelessly with every sensor in the system.
Sensors available include MotionProtect indoor PIR sensors with pet immunity up to 20kg, DoorProtect magnetic contacts for doors and windows, GlassProtect acoustic sensors that detect breaking glass, MotionProtect Outdoor weatherproof sensors for gardens, yards, and perimeters, FireProtect combined smoke and heat detectors, CO detectors for carbon monoxide, LeaksProtect water leak sensors, and SpaceControl key fobs and Button panic devices.
Every sensor is individually identified in the app — you don’t just get “alarm triggered,” you get “back door opened” or “motion detected in kitchen” with a timestamp.
Designing a System for Mexborough Properties
The security priorities differ between Mexborough’s property types. For the Victorian and Edwardian terraces, rear access is the primary vulnerability — alleys, back yards, and shared passages provide approach routes. We focus sensors on rear doors and windows, with the front door and hallway as secondary coverage.
For the Shimmer estate and Dolcliffe Road properties, the more open layout means approach can come from multiple directions. We typically install sensors covering all ground floor entry points, the hallway and stairway, and outdoor sensors covering the garden and any side access.
For properties towards Windhill and Harlington that sit further from neighbours or border open land, perimeter detection using outdoor motion sensors provides an early warning before anyone reaches the building.
Installation takes 2-4 hours depending on the number of sensors. No cabling work, no replastering, no mess. The external siren mounts at first floor level, and the hub sits near your broadband router.
App Control and Monitoring
The Ajax app provides complete system control from anywhere: arm and disarm remotely, receive instant push notifications with the specific sensor that triggered, review full event history, check battery and signal status for every device, create separate user profiles for family members, set automatic schedules for routine arming and disarming, and grant temporary access codes to trades, cleaners, or visitors.
Ajax + CCTV for Complete Security
The strongest security setup combines Ajax intruder detection with CCTV in Mexborough. When Ajax detects an intrusion, you receive an immediate alert and can check your camera feeds for visual confirmation — all from the same phone. The alarm provides audible deterrent and the cameras provide evidence. We install both systems and design them to work together.
Running Costs
Ajax has no monthly monitoring fees or annual contracts. The app is free, cloud event logs are free, and firmware updates happen automatically. Sensor batteries last up to 7 years, and the system alerts you well in advance when replacement is needed. The only ongoing cost is your broadband connection, which you’d have anyway.
