For most homes the Ajax KeyPad Plus is the best choice: you arm the system with a code or by holding a card or key fob to it. If you want to see the status of your system, choose the KeyPad TouchScreen, and for next to the front door outdoors the KeyPad Outdoor. There are also remote controls and panic buttons. Below we set all Ajax control devices side by side.

| Price | € 95,50 incl. VAT€ 78,93 excl. VAT | € 119,95 incl. VAT€ 99,13 excl. VAT | € 297,95 incl. VAT€ 246,24 excl. VAT | € 169,00 incl. VAT€ 139,67 excl. VAT |
Good to know the batteries are already fitted on delivery. The battery life that Ajax states is an upper limit; in practice it depends on the location and how often you use the control device, and the app warns you when the battery is low. You can also connect the TouchScreen to a 12 V power supply, so that the screen stays on at all times. The prices are live from our webshop.
Card, tag or key fob
With a Pass (card), a Tag (key fob) or the more luxurious Metal Tag you arm and disarm by briefly holding it in front of the control device. They use DESFire technology and are therefore protected against copying. You need a KeyPad Plus, TouchScreen or Outdoor for this; the standard KeyPad has no reader. Useful for children, cleaners or staff: they do not need an app account, and if someone loses a card, you disable it in the app.
