2018 in figures

If we were asked to characterize the events of the outgoing year in one word “refactoring” would definitively highlight the essence. In 2018, Ajax Systems has been developing at a self-threatening pace: the production volume has increased, the staff has grown, and the extent of market presence has expanded. Such massive-scale changes often lead to an uncontrolled chain reaction resulting in the collapse of processes and decrease in the quality of services. In order to avoid chaos, we have reduced the pace of new product development and redirected the efforts concentrating on process optimization.

Firstly, the process of product development has been automated turning it into a pipeline that creates hardware using the principles of software development. Nowadays, the development of a new device starts simultaneously in all departments: design development is launched, selection of components begins, production processes are established, a marketing strategy is developed, and a logistics scheme is contemplated. This level of coordination helps to avoid downtime and missed deadlines, and a distributed version control system minimizes human error.

Ajax PRO Desktop is an application for monitoring security systems of residential compounds and cottage estates

Today, more and more people begin to appreciate the need for integrated housing protection. Reliable door and window grating represents the first barrier. A security system that provides control over the environment and informs about events represents the second barrier. If an incident occurs, it needs to be responded to immediately and as effective as possible. Professional monitoring service is unchallenged in this field.

Demand breeds supply — the number of new security and service companies that ensure protection of a specific area of a city, residential compound or cottage estate is growing. They rely on new technologies, and efficiency, quality of service, and reliability represent the key success factors of their business. People are willing to pay for such security services.

How to protect the apartment from burglary. Guide for everyone

For more than 20 years, Dmitri Teslya has been providing security of particularly important people and premises. Now he is applying this experience in the management of Asgard Security and International Shooting Fitness Federation. In an interview for Ajaх, the expert explains who needs to think about protecting their apartment, gives a step-by-step security algorithm and identifies the main mistakes that property owners can make in this matter.

Is it true that having a strong will one can get into any, even a very secure room?

It is true. Having the necessary resources, one can go anywhere, even in Fort Knox, where the US gold reserves are stored. Of course, you’ll have to use nuclear weapons for this.

If it is impossible to ensure complete security, why invest in it anyway?

Because value appreciation, the complication of protection repels non-professional criminals, adolescents, drug addicts. Many of them will come for $20, if the risk is minimal: there is no alarm, the door is simple, or the bars are easily cut through with pliers. In residential areas, where far from rich people live, the apartments are burglarized by the dozen every day.

Without investing in security, you endanger the health and lives of your loved ones. The thief may find them at home, and nobody knows how he’ll behave in this situation. By trade, we communicate closely with the police, asking to share real crime stories. And here is an example, in which a petty thief suddenly committed a serious crime. Why? “I got into the house, there were people. They began to resist, a fight ensued …” It ended in tragedy.

A good lock and a warning alarm will not allow them to climb  in the middle of the night when the family is sleeping in the house. Keep this in mind, even if you do not consider yourself at risk. Tomorrow they can come in and check what you have. They will come in without aiming. Simply because it’s easy.

Enhancing the protection of your home, you push the offender to a neighbor who hasn’t bothered with this. If the thief acts without aiming, if he’s not sure that there are values in a certain apartment, then he will choose an easier goal.

The case of Lithuanian mobile operator BITE and Ajax: “Security Service Package”

The main deterrent to growth in the home security market has been and continues to be a lack of understanding of security equipment by the average user. It’s difficult to make sense of the different types and features to make a reasoned choice. Most prefer to just put off making a decision rather than spend a considerable amount on something random, usually until someone or their loved ones are robbed, or there is a fire or flood in their homes.

The Lithuanian mobile operator BITĖ found a solution to this issue in a housing and property “security service package”. Ajax system timely detect break-ins and fires, the security company responds to alarms, and insurance covers any damages incurred — the user just chooses the options right for them and pays a slightly increased monthly payment to the operator.
