Ajax ReX 2 Smart Home Signal Extender with Wired and Wireless Connectivity

The Ajax ReX 2 is a professional smart home signal extender designed to significantly increase the range and reliability of your Ajax security system. By acting as an intelligent control panel, it allows for the seamless integration of security devices across large residential or commercial properties, including multi-story buildings, warehouses, and expansive estates. The device supports both wireless radio communication and wired Ethernet connectivity, ensuring that your security network remains robust even in environments with challenging architectural obstacles like steel or concrete walls.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the Ajax ReX 2 is its ability to extend radio network coverage up to 35 square kilometers when using multiple extenders, ensuring total site protection. It features advanced photo verification support, allowing it to transmit visual data from motion detectors to users and monitoring stations in seconds. The device is built with high-level security in mind, utilizing encrypted communication protocols and a tamper-resistant design. Furthermore, its dual-connectivity approach via Ethernet and radio ensures that the system remains operational even if one communication channel is compromised or unavailable. The inclusion of a backup battery provides continued protection during power outages, while the modular operating system allows for remote, hassle-free updates.

Suitable for

• Large residential homes and multi-story estates
• Office centers and business complexes
• Warehouses and industrial production facilities
• Buildings with thick walls or underground parking areas

The Ajax ReX 2 may not be suitable for very small apartments where the standard hub range is already sufficient to cover all installed devices. It is also not intended for use with non-Ajax security systems, as it is specifically engineered to function exclusively within the Ajax ecosystem.

Key specifications

• Maximum transmission distance: 1700 meters
• Connectivity: Wired (Ethernet) and Wireless (RF)
• Power supply: 110-240V AC, 50/60 Hz
• Backup battery life: Up to 38 hours
• Alarm transmission speed: 0.3 seconds
• Dimensions: 163 x 163 x 36 mm
• Compatibility: Hub 2, Hub 2 Plus, Hub Hybrid

How to use

Installation of the Ajax ReX 2 is designed to be straightforward and efficient. To add the extender to your existing system, simply scan the QR code using the Ajax mobile application and assign the device to a specific room. Once connected, you can configure the device settings in real-time through the app without needing to visit the site physically. The device can be mounted on a wall and connected to your local network via Ethernet if a wired connection is preferred for enhanced stability. Once configured, the ReX 2 automatically manages the communication between the connected detectors and the main hub.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your current Ajax hub model is compatible with ReX 2
• Verify if your facility requires wired Ethernet backhaul for optimal signal penetration
• Check the number of devices you intend to connect to ensure the system architecture is planned correctly
• Confirm that the installation location has access to a standard power outlet

Usage recommendations: For the best performance, place the ReX 2 in a central location between the hub and the furthest security devices. If using the Ethernet connection, ensure the cable is properly routed and protected to maintain system integrity. Regularly check the Ajax app for firmware updates to ensure your device benefits from the latest security enhancements.
