Ajax Hub BP Jeweller: the control panel that runs on a battery
The Hub BP Jeweller is a fully wireless control panel that runs on a battery and communicates with the alarm receiving centre via two SIM cards. It monitors all your detectors via the encrypted Jeweller radio and notifies you of an alarm within a few milliseconds.
The Hub BP Jeweller needs no mains power and no network cable: it runs on an external battery and communicates via 2G, 3G or LTE with two SIM cards. This makes it suited to locations without mains power or cabling and to fully mobile setups. You configure it in the free Ajax app; detectors are paired with a single click. The system is protected at software level and switches frequency automatically when jammers are present. The Hub BP supports MotionCam photo verification, so you receive photos when an alarm is triggered.
Why the Hub BP
Runs on a battery
No mains power required. The Hub BP runs on an external battery; on a zinc-air battery it stays fully operational for up to 18 months.
Connection via 2 SIM cards
No network cable. The control panel communicates via 2G, 3G or LTE with two micro SIM cards and switches automatically between the channels.
Photo verification (MotionCam)
Supports MotionCam: in the event of an alarm, the system sends photos along, so you can see straight away whether something is really wrong.
Jeweller radio
Encrypted two-way radio with dynamic key. Range of up to 2000 m in open terrain and automatic frequency hopping in case of jamming.
Up to 100 devices
Manages up to 100 Ajax detectors, 50 users, 9 security groups and 32 automation scenarios.
Quick to install
With the enclosure included, you can mount the Hub in a few minutes. You add detectors with a single tap in the app.

Self-installation
The Hub BP Jeweller is intended for indoor mounting. Because it runs on a battery, you need neither mains power nor a network cable: you fit an external battery (not included) and two micro SIM cards for the mobile connection. You then pair the Hub in the free Ajax app (iOS and Android) and add detectors with a single click. The enclosure and mounting materials are included in the box.

Manual and compatibility
Which Ajax Hub suits you?
Compact and wireless, keenly priced
The Hub (2G) is the affordable entry-level option without photo verification, for a small, fully wireless system.
You want photos on an alarm
From the Hub 2 (4G) onwards you get photo verification with MotionCam. The logical choice for most homes.
Large or complex premises
The Hub 2 Plus (4G) adds Wi-Fi as an extra channel, for maximum redundancy.
No mains power or cabling
The Hub BP (4G) (this page) runs entirely on a battery and communicates via 4G.
Wired system (Fibra)
The Hub Hybrid (4G) combines wired Ajax Fibra with wireless Jeweller, for professional installations.
The Ajax hubs compared
The difference between the hubs lies mainly in the connection (Ethernet, wifi, 2G or 4G), photo verification with MotionCam, the capacity and the system type (wireless only or hybrid with wiring).
| Model | Connection | Wi-Fi | MotionCam | System type | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hub (2G) | Ethernet + 2G (1 SIM) | No | No | Wireless | Entry level, small system without photo verification |
| Hub (4G) | Ethernet + 2G/4G (1 SIM) | No | No | Wireless | Small system with strong mobile back-up (LTE) |
| Hub 2 (2G) | Ethernet + 2G (2 SIM) | No | Yes | Wireless | Medium-sized, with photo verification |
| Hub 2 (4G) | Ethernet + 2G/3G/4G (2 SIM) | No | Yes | Wireless | Medium-sized, photo verification plus LTE back-up |
| Hub 2 Plus (4G) | Ethernet + Wi-Fi + 4G (2 SIM) | Yes | Yes | Wireless | Large or complex, maximum redundancy |
| Hub BP (4G) this model | 4G only, no network cable (2 SIM) | No | Yes | Wireless | Locations without mains power or cabling, runs on battery |
| Hub Hybrid (4G) | Ethernet + 4G (2 SIM) | No | Yes | Hybrid (wired + wireless) | Professional, (partly) wired Fibra systems |
MotionCam stands for photo verification: in the event of an alarm, the system sends photos along, so you can see immediately whether something is really wrong. Only the Hub 2 models and newer support this.
Frequently asked questions about the Ajax hubs
What is the difference between the Hub and the Hub 2?
The Hub 2 adds two things compared with the original Hub (2G and 4G): photo verification with MotionCam and a second SIM card. The original Hub does not support MotionCam. If you need photos with an alarm, choose at least a Hub 2 (4G).
What is the difference between the Hub 2 and the Hub 2 Plus?
The Hub 2 Plus adds Wi-Fi as a fourth communication channel (in addition to Ethernet and two SIM cards) and has a higher capacity. This makes it suitable for large or complex installations. For an average home, the Hub 2 (4G) is more than sufficient.
Which hubs support photo verification (MotionCam)?
MotionCam photo verification works on the Hub 2, Hub 2 Plus, Hub Hybrid and Hub BP. The original Hub (2G) and Hub (4G) do not support it.
2G is being phased out. Will my 2G hub still work?
Yes. Via the network cable (Ethernet), a 2G hub continues to work fully; only the 2G mobile back-up stops once the 2G network is switched off. For new installations we recommend a 4G model, such as the Hub (4G) or Hub 2 (4G).
Do I need a subscription?
No. The Ajax app is free and requires no subscription. You only need an M2M SIM card if you want to use the mobile back-up (2G or 4G) alongside your internet connection.
What is the Hub Hybrid?
The Hub Hybrid is the only Ajax hub that combines wired Ajax Fibra with wireless Jeweller devices. With it you build a hybrid system, useful for professional or (partly) cabled installations and for thick walls of steel or concrete.
