Keep your cameras. Add the AI. Your cameras record everything and tell you nothing. The Ajax Superior AI recorder tells a person from a cat or a passing car, makes your footage searchable, and puts every camera in the same Ajax app as your alarm. No new cameras to buy. Installed across Perth by Dextel, an Ajax Authorised Partner (EC12377 / SA54405).
What Changes
Ordinary cameras only know that something moved. So the alerts fire for shadows, headlights and the neighbour's cat, you stop looking at them, and the one time it matters you miss it. The recorder adds the missing piece: it knows what it is looking at.

Why People Choose It
It works with IP cameras of any brand that support ONVIF. You upgrade the brains, not the hardware on your walls.
Notifications you still have switched on in six months, because the pointless ones never arrive.
Filter your recordings by date and by what was in the shot, instead of watching hours of an empty driveway.
Live view, playback and search sit in the same Ajax app that runs your alarm, on iPhone, Android or desktop.
It takes two hard drives. In Redundancy mode both hold the same footage, and either can be swapped out without shutting the recorder down.
Ajax sells this range only through accredited partners. We supply it, install it and look after it afterwards.

What You're Paying For
The Ajax Superior NVR H2D, in 8, 16 or 32 channels. We size it to your cameras, with room to add more later.
The recorder ships without drives. We supply and fit them, sized to your cameras and how many days of footage you want to keep.
We connect your cameras, add them to the Ajax app, and check each camera's view and detection before we leave.
You keep yours. If a camera can't connect, or you want extra coverage, we quote that separately, including Ajax cameras.
There is no fixed price on this page, because it depends on the recorder size, the drives and how many cameras you have. Call or text 0414 464 675 with the make of your cameras and how many, and we'll give you a price.
The Recorder
8 Channels
Ajax Superior NVR H2DAI2GAC (8-ch)
The 8-camera model. Your cameras connect through a network switch, which suits homes and sites that already have one. It also comes in 16 and 32-channel versions, and in PoE versions that power the cameras directly. We choose the one that fits your camera count.
The H2D series has two families with the same AI, storage and integration. The only difference is how cameras connect. Most people don't need to choose, because we do it for you.
| H2DAI2GAC (this page) | H2DAI8PAC / H2DAI16PAC | |
|---|---|---|
| Onboard AI | Yes | Yes |
| Channels | 8 / 16 / 32 | 8 / 16 / 32 |
| PoE ports | None. Every camera via an existing switch | 8 or 16, remaining channels (if any) via the Ethernet port and a switch |
| Ethernet | 2 × up to 1 Gbps | 1 × up to 1 Gbps |
| HDD support | 2 × 24TB | 2 × 24TB |
| Best for | Sites with an existing switch, or strict network requirements | Simple setup, one cable per camera for power and data |
Figures are Ajax's own published specifications. PoE port count doesn't always match channel count: H2DAI8PAC (8-ch) has 8 PoE ports for 8 channels, but the 16-ch version still has only 8, so the other 8 cameras connect via the Ethernet port and an external switch. H2DAI16PAC (16-ch) has 16 PoE ports for 16 channels, while the 32-ch version has 16 PoE ports plus 16 more via switch.

Common Questions
If they are IP cameras that connect with a network cable and support ONVIF, almost certainly yes, whatever the brand. Older analogue cameras (the ones with a coax or BNC lead) can't connect to it. Send us the make and model, or a photo of the label on the camera, and we'll tell you before you spend anything.
It depends on the recorder size (8, 16 or 32 channels), the hard drives and how many cameras you have, so there is no fixed price on this page. Call or text 0414 464 675 with the make of your cameras and how many, and we will quote it.
Yes. Every camera added to the recorder can be viewed in the Ajax app, the same app that runs an Ajax alarm, on iPhone, Android or desktop. Live view, playback and archive search are all in there. There's also a built-in local VMS if you'd rather run it from a monitor on site.
No. Your cameras stay on the wall and the recorder takes over the recording. You keep the cameras you already have and gain smart detection you didn't have before. We supply and fit the hard drives, the same as on our Dahua systems.
It comes in 8, 16 and 32-channel versions. We size it to the number of cameras you have, with room to add more later rather than maxing it out from day one.
PoE models power the cameras through the recorder, so one cable per camera does both jobs. The 8-channel model on this page has no PoE ports: cameras connect through a network switch, which suits sites that already have one. Which one you need depends on your camera count and whether you already have a switch. We choose it for you.
