Ajax Systems' security system is known for its innovation and user-friendliness. Since the introduction of the new Superior line, many have been asking: What distinguishes Superior from the familiar BaseLine? And: Which line is right for whom?
We take a close look at both product lines – focusing on product categories, technology, application benefits and availability.
1. Product categories: Old, new, and what has remained the same
Both lines – BaseLine and Superior – include a wide range of security components, from motion detectors and glass break sensors to outdoor sirens and control units. The biggest difference lies not necessarily in the product type, but in the communication technology and certification.
Names: Jeweller and Fibra
Jeweller: Name for the proven radio technology used primarily in the BaseLine.
Fibra: Stands for Ajax's wired communication technology – it offers particularly high security with minimal installation effort.
Both technologies are also used in the Superior line, but often in improved or special versions.
2. Technical differences: What makes Superior special?
Superior products were developed for professional use and meet stricter standards. Here are a few highlights:
Enhanced certification compliance: Many devices in the Superior line are certified to EN 50131 Grade 3 – one level above most BaseLine products (mostly Grade 2). This means higher security requirements for commercial properties, banks, or critical infrastructure.
Enhanced tamper protection: Additional protection mechanisms against sabotage or manipulation.
More detailed parameterization via the PRO app: More configuration options for professional installers.
More powerful hardware: Many Superior components feature improved chipsets and sensors.
3. Advantages for users of the Superior line
The Superior line offers numerous advantages – especially in professional environments:
Higher security certifications allow for use in safety-critical areas.
Longer communication ranges and even more stable connections (for radio).
Greater flexibility during installation, for example through additional brackets, larger temperature ranges or options for concealed installation.
Future-proof: The Superior line is consistently geared towards the professional market and is therefore the first to receive new features and components.
4. Who is authorized to install Superior products?
The Superior line is specifically designed for certified installers. Access to and activation of these products is exclusively through authorized sales partners – typically via an Ajax PRO account with appropriate verification.
5. Can I, as a private individual, use the Superior line?
Yes – in cooperation with us!
Even though the Superior line can officially only be activated by qualified installers, we offer private customers the opportunity to purchase and use these products. We will work with you to ensure professional activation and setup – so that even ambitious DIYers don't have to miss out on the benefits of the Superior line.
Conclusion
Whether BaseLine or Superior – both product lines stand for the familiar Ajax quality. The BaseLine is ideal for private households and small businesses looking for a reliable, easy-to-install solution. The Superior line, on the other hand, offers more security, more technology, more control – perfect for professional requirements.
