Ajax Hub 2 (2G) Jeweller

Overview

The Ajax Hub 2 (2G) Jeweller is the control panel of an Ajax wireless alarm that also receives photos from MotionCam detectors, so you can see in the app what set off an alarm. It links your detectors, keypads and sirens over the Jeweller radio, and connects to the internet over Ethernet and two 2G SIM cards, with a backup battery for power cuts.
