Hikvision AX PRO Alarms

Key features of the AX PRO system

• Tri-X two-way encrypted wireless (868 MHz band) — jam-resistant, with the panel confirming each device's heartbeat continuously.
• Up to 96 zones across 8 partitions — supports PIRs, magnetic contacts, glass-break sensors, smoke detectors, panic buttons and key fobs.
• Dual-path signalling — Wi-Fi plus Ethernet plus optional 4G cellular backup. Alarms still report when the internet drops.
• Hik-Connect mobile app — remote arm/disarm, push notifications, event review and video verification on connected Hikvision cameras.
• Tight integration with Hikvision cameras and NVRs — a camera-detected motion can trigger alarm arming, and an alarm event can trigger camera recording. Single Hik-Connect dashboard.
• Contact ID and SIA-IP signalling for connection to professional 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centres.
• Pet-immune detectors — dual-tech PIR models rated to 30 kg.
• 5-year manufacturer warranty on AX PRO panels and sensors.

What goes in an AX PRO system

An AX PRO system has the same five layers as any modern wireless alarm:

• Panel — the brain. AX PRO Wireless Control Panel (DS-PWA series) — connects to the internet over Ethernet or Wi-Fi, optional 4G dongle for cellular backup, talks to every device over Tri-X.
• Detectors — PIR motion (DS-PD series), Magnetic Contact (DS-PDMC) on doors and windows, Glass-Break (DS-PDGB) on large windows, Smoke and heat (DS-PDSMK), Panic Button. Pet-immune dual-tech PIRs rated to 30 kg for homes with larger animals.
• Sirens — indoor (DS-PS series) and outdoor strobe siren as visible deterrent.
• Keypads — AX PRO Keypad (DS-PKG series) for local arm/disarm and user PIN management.
• App and optional ARC — the Hik-Connect mobile app for live control and notifications, plus optional connection to an Australian professional Alarm Receiving Centre for 24/7 monitored response.

Self-monitored or professionally monitored — which is right for you

Self-monitored — the panel pushes alerts to your phone (and any nominated additional phones) via Hik-Connect when the alarm triggers. You decide what to do: call the police, send a family member, or check the connected camera footage to verify before acting. No subscription required. Fine for residential and most small commercial.

Professionally monitored (ARC) — the panel also reports to a 24/7 Australian Alarm Receiving Centre via Contact ID over IP or SIA DC-09, and the ARC dispatches guards (under contract) or police per a defined response plan. Required for insurance discounts on many commercial premises, and the right call for sites with high-value contents or where the owner can't be relied on to respond. Monthly subscription paid to the ARC. We can refer Australian ARCs that handle AX PRO.

How AX PRO compares to Ajax and HiLook Wired

AX PRO is the right call when: the site already runs Hikvision cameras or NVRs (you get a single Hik-Connect app for video and alarm), the budget is tighter than Ajax, and wireless is the right protocol for the install.

Ajax is the right call when: alarms are standalone (no Hikvision dependency), you need Fibra wired on some zones and Jeweller wireless on others (Hub Hybrid), or NDAA compliance matters.

HiLook Wired is the right call when: it's a new build or renovation where cable runs are part of the rough-in, the budget is tighter again, and you don't need AX PRO's higher zone count or partitioning.

For sites needing wired-only alarms at scale (large industrial, EMI-noisy environments, mandated wired for high-risk premises), AX PRO isn't the answer — it's wireless-only. Look at Ajax with Fibra instead.

Which AX PRO setup is right for your site

• Small (up to ~16 zones) — single-storey home, 1–2 entry points, a couple of PIRs, one keypad, optional outdoor strobe siren. Any AX PRO panel handles this comfortably.
• Medium (16–48 zones) — multi-zone home, small commercial premises, multiple entry points and outbuildings. Specify the 4G dongle for cellular backup.
• Large (48–96 zones) — large commercial, multi-storey, partition-zoned (separate arm/disarm for office vs warehouse, for example). 4G backup recommended.
