Anti-intrusion systems must be able to detect security breaches instantly and reliably – while also minimizing false positives. To help companies and homeowners achieve this, Hikvision has created its AX PRO wireless alarm system, which includes highly reliable video verification solutions, secure wireless transmission, and a wide range of state-of-the-art alarm detectors.

Hikvision AX PRO Alarm System Delivers Security Through Innovation

To help businesses and homeowners increase security, Hikvision has created its AX PRO wireless alarm system. The security system includes remote video verification to detect security breaches, secure wireless transmission technology for alarms and video images, and a wide variety of wireless products that trigger alarms rapidly and reliably in the event of a break-in or other security breach. The system also includes the AX PRO hub, which can connect up to 210 detectors to meet customers' specific security needs.

The AX PRO wireless alarm system range is ideal for home protection and small to medium-sized business applications, supporting "simplicity through innovation" for alarm detection. The system includes 5 main types of Hikvision AX PRO wireless alarm detectors:

1) Hikvision AX PRO motion alarm detectors

The AX PRO range offers two types of motion detectors: 'single element' detectors, and 'dual-tech' detectors.

Single element detectors use passive infrared (PIR) or microwave technology to detect moving intruders and to trigger intrusion alarms in real time. Dual tech solutions combine different technologies, such as PIR, microwave, or cameras to verify intrusion threats and to minimize false positives.

A Hikvision dual-tech solution is the PIRCAM motion detector, which combines PIR with a smart camera. This solution takes pictures when the PIR sensor is triggered, allowing homeowners or business security teams to remotely verify intrusion incidents.

2) Hikvision AX PRO glass break detectors

AX PRO glass break detectors work with glass of different types and thickness. These detectors can be installed on both walls and ceilings facing glass panels or windows.

The detectors use high-quality broadband microphones to monitor loud high-frequency and low-frequency noises. In a glass-breakage scenario, loud, low-frequency sounds are created by shockwaves when a pane of glass is struck (with a heavy object for example). At the same time, the high-frequency sound confirms that the glass has shattered or broken. This approach to monitoring low and high-frequency noises ensures that the detectors can distinguish between loud noises in the environment, vibrations caused by high winds, and real glass breakages – helping to minimize false positives.

The AX PRO range includes a single-element glass break detector and a PIR motion detector with glass-break detection technology in a single unit.

3) Hikvision AX PRO door opening detectors (magnetic contact detectors)

Hikvision door opening detectors comprise two parts, a magnet attached to a door or window, and a second unit attached to the frame. When the door or window opens, the switch is broken, and the detector is activated.

There are two motion alarm detectors in the AX PRO range. The first is a standard unit that detects door-open 'gaps' of up to 43mm, and a slimline, more discreet unit that detects door-open gaps of up to 53mm.

4) Hikvision AX PRO 'shock' detectors

AX PRO shock detectors use high-quality sensors to monitor the vibration characteristics of different mount surfaces, including wooden walls, concrete walls, and panes of glass.

This allows Hikvision detectors to filter out false positives caused by a number of factors, including objects hitting a wall, dynamic pressures caused by winds, or maintenance teams conducting work on a building.

5) Hikvision AX PRO 'environmental' detectors

The Hikvision AX PRO wireless range includes 'environmental' detectors that improve home and business security. These include portable and wall-mounted emergency buttons, an EN 14604-certified smoke detector with a 10-year battery life, a water-leak detector, and a temperature detector.
