Wired PoE Technology

Ajax IP cameras use Power over Ethernet (PoE) — a single Cat6 cable carries both video data and power to each camera, simplifying installation and eliminating separate power supplies.

  • H.265 compression — 4K footage at manageable storage footprint
  • PoE 802.3at/af — one Cat6 cable per camera, no power outlet needed
  • Up to 256 GB onboard microSD storage per camera (offline backup)
  • ONVIF Profile S/T — integrates with Milestone, Genetec, Axxon, Digifort

Neural Network · On-Camera Processing

AI & Video Analytics

  • Eliminates false alarms from rain, insects, foliage, and headlights
  • White-light activation on HL cameras only when a human is confirmed
  • Photo report delivered to monitoring centre within 3 seconds of detection

Homes & Condos · Ottawa

Residential Security Cameras

Most Ottawa home break-ins happen through the front door, side gate, or back of the property — areas that are easy to cover with 2–4 cameras. A well-placed residential system deters would-be intruders before they act, and delivers clear footage when you need it most.

  • Typical home covered by 4–6 cameras: front, back, driveway, garage
  • Smart Video Doorbell — see and speak with visitors from anywhere
  • Colour night vision on HL cameras — identify clothing and vehicle colours
  • Pet-immune motion detection — no false alerts from cats or dogs
  • Optional alarm integration: cameras trigger if a window or door sensor fires
  • Single-family homes, condos, rental properties, and cottages

  • Multi-building systems managed from a single Ajax PRO app
  • Integration with access control (KeyPad TouchScreen + Hub 2 Plus)

Common Questions

Security Camera FAQ — Ottawa

How much does security camera installation cost in Ottawa?
Basic residential systems (4 cameras + NVR) start from $1,500 fully installed. Mid-range home systems (8 cameras) run $2,500–$4,000. Commercial systems start from $4,000 for a small retail or office setup. All quoted prices include hardware, Cat6 cabling, NVR configuration, and mobile remote access setup. HST is extra. We provide a written all-inclusive quote after the free site assessment — no surprises at invoice.
How long does camera installation take in Ottawa?
Most residential installations (4–8 cameras) are completed in a single day (6–8 hours). Larger commercial or multi-building projects typically take 1–3 days. We schedule around your operating hours to minimize disruption to your home or business.
Can I view my cameras remotely on my phone?
Yes. Ajax cameras connect to the Ajax Security app on iOS and Android. You get live streaming, motion alerts with a video preview clip, and full archive playback — from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Remote access setup is included in every installation at no extra charge.
Do Ajax cameras work in Ottawa winters?
Yes. Ajax outdoor cameras are rated for operation from −40°C to +60°C and carry IP65 / IK08 certification. They are specifically engineered to handle Ottawa's deep winter conditions including snow, ice, and thermal cycling. Smart IR illumination also remains fully functional in cold temperatures.
Why choose Ajax over Hikvision or Dahua cameras?
Ajax cameras are NDAA-compliant and manufactured to European cybersecurity standards. Hikvision and Dahua are banned from US and Canadian federal procurement due to security concerns. Ajax footage is stored in EU-certified data centres with end-to-end encryption — not on servers in China. For government buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and any regulated environment in Ottawa, Ajax is the only safe choice.
Do security cameras reduce home insurance in Ontario?
Yes. Most major Ontario insurers (Intact, Aviva, Desjardins) offer 5–15% discounts on property insurance for homes with professionally installed monitored security systems. When combined with ULC-listed 24/7 monitoring, the annual insurance savings often offset the monitoring subscription cost entirely. Ask your insurer for their specific discount schedule.
