Radio signal range extender supporting photo verification of alarms. Compatible with Hub 2 and Hub 2 Plus control panels.
More applications of a security system
Range extenders expand the boundaries of the protected area and give even more freedom to place security system devices. By connecting all or part of the devices1 to ReX 2, you will ensure the security and automation of a business centre, estate, warehouse complex, or a large production facility.
5 range extenders can operate within the Ajax system to expand the coverage of the radio network up to 35 km22. Events and alarms are transmitted instantly, and the first photo verification snapshot is delivered to a monitoring station and users in just 13 seconds3.
Features
- Remote configuration and control
- Photo verification of alarms without privacy concerns
- PRO anti-sabotage: Tampers, Pings, Authentication
- Data-rich notifications
- Hassle-free installation
- Connecting to a hub via Ethernet when you can't rely on radio communications
- Up to 38 hours of backup battery life
- Up to 35 km2 of coverage with one security system2
Verification of alarms with snapshots
ReX 2 works with MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor motion detectors. When triggered, they take a series of shots, helping to evaluate the events at a facility. Visual verification helps to instantly ascertain the situation, saving users from concerns and security companies from unnecessary patrol dispatches.
- Motion detected
- Alarm triggered
- Evidence captured
Guaranteed delivery of alarms and visual alarm verifications
To ensure reliable communications, we have equipped ReX 2 with four antennas and support of two proprietary radio protocols: Jeweller and Wings. Jeweller is responsible for the transmission of commands, events, and alarms, while Wings provides batch transmission of images. Ajax two-way radio communication uses frames to synchronize device communication sessions, authentication to prevent fraud, and encryption to protect against data theft.
- Alarm in 0.3 seconds
- The first photo in 13 seconds3
Radio communication through steel and concrete
With one of the upcoming major OS Malevich operating system updates, the ReX 2 range extender will connect to the hub not only via radio but also via Ethernet4 using the wire as the only or the second communication channel. Then, one Ajax system will be able to cover the facility like an office center with underground parking, or sectional metal hangars, or a warehouse complex of several large buildings.
- Transmission of events and visual alarm verifications via cable
- Automatic change of communication channel in case of break
- Encryption of transmitted data
- Connecting via router
Enhanced security system
ReX 2 works as an extra intelligent control panel: it connects devices into an autonomous group and takes over control at the right time. Thanks to automatic adjustment of signal strength and frame synchronization, any number of system devices can be connected to ReX 2 - the reliability of communication will not be affected by this. If, for some reason, radio communication with the hub is interrupted, ReX 2 will receive an alarm from a sensor and activate a siren to draw attention to the incident and deter the burglar.
Ready to resist intruder attacks
ReX 2 is protected from attacks at the software and hardware levels. It runs on the OS Malevich operating system, which is immune to viruses. All data transmitted by the range extender is encrypted. Thanks to the built-in backup battery, a sudden blackout at a facility will not be a problem.
- Up to 38 hours of backup battery life
- Informing about interferences and jamming
- Detecting attempts to dismantle and open the enclosure
- Immunity against viruses
Hassle-free installation
ReX 2 connection and configuration process saves the installation engineer time as much as possible. To add a range extender to a system, simply scan a QR-code with the Ajax app and assign it a name and a room. The device is also configured in real time in the app. If necessary, ReX 2 can be disabled or reconfigured without site visits.
- Connection: Scan the QR-code to begin system set up
- Installation: Use SmartBracket to mount the device without disassembling it
- Setup: Configure devices in the app

1 ReX 2 cannot be connected to another range extender, only to a hub.
2 If five radio signal range extenders are used in the system.
3 When transmitting images from MotionCam Outdoor (default settings) through ReX 2 range extender and the hub. The hub should be connected to the internet via Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or LTE. Photos delivery time depending on image resolution settings is available at thelink
4 ReX 2 is equipped with an Ethernet port, but the connection of the range extender to the hub via cable will be available after one of the upcoming OS Malevich updates.
