Alarm Systems in Wide Bay and Smart Protection for Homes & Businesses
Alarms are the heartbeat of modern security. At NextWave, our Ajax wireless alarm systems are designed to protect your home or business across Queensland’s Wide Bay region, including Maryborough, Hervey Bay, and Gympie.
They’re smart, reliable, and respond the instant something goes wrong — whether you’re at home, at work, or miles away.
Why NextWave Alarms Stand Out
Because every property is different, we design Ajax alarm systems that match your layout and security priorities. Whether you need rapid detection at entry points or outdoor perimeter alerts, our team can tailor each sensor and hub for optimal coverage.
In addition, every Ajax hub features 4G backup and onboard battery power. That means your system keeps protecting even during a blackout or internet failure — keeping you informed in real time through the mobile app.
For example, many Wide Bay homeowners pair their Ajax alarm with motion cameras or leak detectors for complete peace of mind. As a result, you get one system that safeguards against both intrusion and damage.
How It Works in 3 Steps
Detect
Smart sensors on doors, windows, and key areas pick up movement or forced entry instantly — catching intruders before they get far.
Alert
Sirens and strobes trigger immediately, while you get an instant notification on your phone so you know what’s happening in real time.
Respond
Take control from anywhere: reset the system, call for help, or link with cameras and monitoring for a fast, professional response.

Hubs (Control Panels)
What it is: The central wireless brain of the system that talks to every device and keeps your alarm online.
What it does: Sends alarms via Ethernet and dual-SIM 4G/3G/2G. Supports photo verification from MotionCam detectors.
Why consider it: Ideal for homes and small businesses that want reliable, dual-path comms without the extra capacity of the Plus model.
Capacity: Up to 100 devices, 50 users, 25 cameras, 10 sirens.
What it is: The premium wireless hub for larger systems and maximum uptime.
What it does: Adds Wi-Fi and two SIMs alongside Ethernet for four independent paths; supports photo verification.
Why consider it: Choose when you want headroom to grow and the most resilient communications.
Capacity: Up to 200 devices, 200 users, 100 cameras, 5 range extenders, 25 groups.
What it is: A hybrid panel that supports both wired Fibra and wireless Jeweller devices in any mix.
What it does: Lets you cable where it’s easy and go wireless elsewhere; still supports photo verification.
Why consider it: Great for large properties, renovations, or commercial fit-outs needing both wired and wireless zones.
Capacity: Up to 100 devices (mix of wired+wireless), typically 50 users, 25 cameras, 5 range extenders.
Indoor Motion Sensors
What it is: A dependable indoor PIR with pet immunity (≈20 kg).
What it does: Detects human movement up to ~12 m while ignoring pets and routine HVAC noise.
Why consider it: Cost-effective protection for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways; long battery life.
What it is: MotionProtect with an extra microwave sensor to double-check motion.
What it does: Filters false alarms from heaters, direct sun, or strong airflow by verifying PIR triggers.
Why consider it: Best for garages, sunrooms, or temp-fluctuating spaces.
What it is: An indoor motion detector with a camera for photo verification.
What it does: Sends an encrypted photo burst only on alarm for quick context (no constant video feed).
Why consider it: Faster decisions and fewer false call-outs when you’re away.
What it is: A 2-in-1 device combining indoor motion and glass-break.
What it does: Detects movement (~12 m) and the sound pattern of breaking glass (~9 m).
Why consider it: Perfect where you need both motion and glass protection in one sensor.
Opening / Shock / Glass
What it is: A wireless door/window contact (reed switch).
What it does: Triggers instantly on opening; supports an external wired contact if required.
Why consider it: Baseline perimeter defence for all entry points.
What it is: DoorProtect with a built-in accelerometer.
What it does: Detects shock and tilt — catching forced entry attempts or sash lifting before the open.
Why consider it: Extra protection for vulnerable doors and hinged windows.
What it is: An acoustic glass-break detector.
What it does: Listens for the two-stage sound of shattering glass up to room distances.
Why consider it: Alerts the moment glass breaks — a strong second layer for big windows/doors.
Outdoor Motion Sensors
What it is: A dual-PIR outdoor detector with weather sealing and anti-masking.
What it does: Detects intruders before they reach the building; resists false alarms from sun, wind, and pets.
Why consider it: Build a first line of defence across driveways, yards, and fence lines.
What it is: Outdoor motion with photo verification (Photo on Demand/Schedule).
What it does: Sends quick photo series when triggered so you can verify perimeter activity fast.
Why consider it: Ideal for high-risk areas where early visual confirmation matters.
What it is: A variant tuned for installs around 2.5–3 m.
What it does: Optimised optics/processing for elevated positions (soffits, commercial facades) to widen approach coverage and reduce tampering.
Why consider it: Use when the mounting height can’t be lowered and you still want reliable detection and clear photos.
Outdoor Curtain Sensors
What it is: A bi-directional outdoor curtain detector with two independently adjustable sides.
What it does: Creates one or two narrow “walls” of detection along façades or fence lines, with anti-masking to resist sabotage.
Why consider it: Tailored perimeter coverage; can run as a single curtain by disabling one side in the app.
Indoor Curtain Sensors
What it is: An indoor, narrow-beam “curtain” sensor.
What it does: Monitors a thin zone across windows, doors, or corridors without watching the whole room.
Why consider it: Great for privacy-sensitive spaces or large glass areas.
Life Safety
What it is: A next-gen life-safety family covering smoke, heat, and/or CO (model dependent) with a long-life sealed battery.
What it does: Detects fire risks quickly, links to sirens, and sends app alerts even when you’re away.
Why consider it: Critical protection beyond intruders; recommended in kitchens, halls, bedrooms, and plant rooms.
What it is: A compact wireless water-leak detector that instantly alerts you if water contacts its probes — ideal under sinks, laundries, or hot-water systems.
What it does: Detects even small leaks and sends an immediate alert through the Ajax app or monitoring centre.
Why consider it: Early detection prevents costly damage — but when combined with Ajax WaterStop, it can also take action automatically.
Optional automation: Ajax WaterStop is a remotely controlled smart shutoff valve. When linked with LeaksProtect, it can automatically close your water supply the moment a leak is detected — or be controlled manually in the app from anywhere.
Automation & Power
What it is: A low-current dry-contact module for DC circuits.
What it does: Interfaces neatly with DC equipment such as gates, pumps, inverters, maglocks, lights, or other DC gear on alarm, schedule, or scene.
Why consider it: Clean integration with third-party DC gear. Simple, safe automation tightly integrated with the alarm.
What it is: An in-wall relay for 230 V AC loads (up to 13 A, model dependent).
What it does: Controls lighting, pumps, or appliances in the app or via automation scenarios.
Why consider it: Tidy, reliable mains automation that plays nicely with the security system.
What it is: A plug-in smart socket with energy monitoring and surge protection.
What it does: Adds on/off control and usage stats with a clear status ring — no wiring required.
Why consider it: Fastest way to add smart control to appliances while staying inside the Ajax ecosystem.
