Hi

 

Anyone fitted an Ajax Alarm and if so are they any good?

No and I personally do not like the idea of no keypad on-site. Maybe I'm old fashioned. A routine service visit must be a little strange using a phone.

Same, however but I've got one plugged in at the office

 

Internet off at 13:15 ish few mins later Ajax has reported the failure

15:15 ish Arc have reported the failure (is only G2, but hey...)

 

Internet back on 2am the following, Ajax reported

Arc doesn't report the the restore

 

From my limited play with the product it make something like an enforcer seem dated, 

 

I'm an alarm man, not an app man, I don't think it the right thing for my co

Most app panels do this though? The ARC reports when my wifi goes down my app is usually much quicker,the arc never reports the wifi is back whereas the app does.

 

But the ARC is only ever gonna report problems, theyre not really cut out to report when the problem is fixed.

 

I dont like the Ajax either, if you want something like that you can do it for a quarter of the price using something like Sonoff. 

 

 

So your both saying self monitoring is faster than proper monitoring? 

With an app

Only because the arc have to wait 90 secs, and they also have to phone you to tell you stuff whereas the app is direct. I would not rely on the app though, a real person makes sure that someone got the message,  if you forget to take your phone off silent mode from when you were in that meeting, or at that funeral, or in the cinema, the real person would have spoken to your keyholders
