Ajax ReX 2 White Wireless Range Extender with Photo Verification Support

Ajax ReX 2 White Radio Signal Range Extender

The Ajax ReX 2 is a wireless range extender built to stretch the coverage of an Ajax security system across large or structurally challenging sites. It relays radio signals between the hub and connected detectors, keyfobs, sirens and other Jeweller-protocol devices, while also supporting the Wings protocol needed to carry photo verification snapshots from Ajax MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor detectors. Finished in white, it suits indoor installation in offices, warehouses, retail premises and multi-storey residential buildings where a single hub cannot reach every corner of the protected area.

Key Features

• Extended radio range: Communicates with a compatible Ajax hub over distances of up to 1,700 metres in open space, effectively doubling practical system coverage.
• Multi-extender networks: Up to five ReX 2 units can operate within a single Ajax system, expanding total radio coverage to as much as 35 km².
• Photo verification support: Passes alarm photo sequences from MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor detectors back to the hub via the Wings protocol.
• Dual communication channels: Includes a built-in Ethernet port so the extender can use a wired connection as a primary or backup link alongside radio.
• Autonomous group control: Can manage a group of connected sensors independently, triggering a connected siren if contact with the hub is lost.
• Tamper protection: Built-in tamper switch detects attempts to open or remove the device from its mount.
• Backup power: Internal battery keeps the unit operating for an extended period during a mains power outage.
• Encrypted, jam-resistant radio: Uses frequency hopping and encrypted data transmission to resist interference and interception.
• Simple setup: Added and configured through the Ajax mobile and desktop apps, with remote reconfiguration possible without a site visit.

Where It's Used

The ReX 2 is typically deployed on large or segmented properties, such as warehouses, business centres, agricultural estates and multi-building complexes, where detectors sit beyond the reliable radio range of the hub. By placing one or more ReX 2 units strategically, installers can extend protection into outbuildings, distant rooms or metal-clad structures while still delivering fast alarm response and, where MotionCam devices are used, visual confirmation of events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the ReX 2 need its own hub?
No, it only works alongside a compatible Ajax hub such as Hub 2, Hub 2 Plus or Hub Hybrid and cannot operate as a standalone controller.

Can it relay photos from MotionCam detectors?
Yes, it supports the Wings protocol specifically so photo verification images from MotionCam and MotionCam Outdoor detectors can pass through it to the hub.

Is the ReX 2 suitable for outdoor use?
No, it is designed for indoor installation only.
