Description
The Ajax WallSwitch Jeweller is a wireless power relay that lets you control any mains-connected appliance remotely through the Ajax app, by alarm trigger, or on a set schedule. Fitting neatly inside an electrical enclosure or on a DIN rail, it bridges your Ajax security system and the 110–230V mains circuit, giving you remote on/off control alongside built-in energy monitoring. For commercial and residential installations where switching lights, pumps, ventilation, or other loads from a central alarm panel is a genuine operational need, the WallSwitch is an elegant, fully integrated solution.
This listing is for the Ajax WallSwitch Jeweller, professionally supplied and installed by CCTV Aware, Ajax Certified Specialists based in Chelmsford, Essex.
Remote switching up to 3 kW
The WallSwitch handles a continuous load of up to 13A and supports resistive loads up to 3.0 kW at 230V (or 1.5 kW at 110V). It can be configured in bistable mode, where the relay latches on or off, or in pulse mode with an adjustable duration of between 1 and 255 seconds. Overcurrent protection cuts the circuit automatically if the load exceeds 11A (with protection enabled) or 13A (with protection disabled), and voltage and temperature protection add further layers of safety.
Built-in energy monitoring
As well as switching, the WallSwitch continuously measures current, voltage, instantaneous power, and cumulative energy consumption. All readings are visible in the Ajax app in real time, making it straightforward to track the running cost of any connected appliance and receive alerts if consumption falls outside expected limits.
Automation scenarios
The WallSwitch integrates fully with Ajax’s automation scenario engine. It can switch on or off based on the system arming or disarming, on a daily or weekly schedule, on any alarm condition, by temperature readings from a connected sensor, or by pressing a linked Ajax LightSwitch or Button. This makes it well suited to scenarios such as switching off all non-essential loads when the alarm arms, or activating ventilation when a temperature threshold is exceeded.
Jeweller radio and DIN rail mounting
Communication runs over Ajax’s encrypted Jeweller two-way radio protocol, with a range of up to 1,000 metres in open space. The unit is compact enough to fit inside a standard electrical enclosure and can be mounted on a DIN rail using the separately available DIN Holder. It is compatible with the Ajax Hub 2 and all other Ajax hubs. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is required.

Yes. We can install CCTV as discreetly as possible, depending on your property and coverage requirements.
Options can include:
- Compact camera styles
- Higher mounting positions where appropriate
- Tidy cable routes and minimal visible trunking
- Recorder installed out of sight in a secure location
If your priority is a low profile install, tell us at quotation stage so we can recommend the best approach for your layout.
The recorder (DVR or NVR) is normally installed indoors in a secure, sensible location with good ventilation.
Common locations include:
- A cupboard or utility area
- An office
- A comms cabinet or rack
We typically install it near your internet router if you want remote viewing on your phone, as it needs a network connection.
If you have a preferred location, let us know during the quote stage and we will advise if it is suitable.
In many cases, yes.
Whether you can add cameras later depends on:
- How many spare channels your recorder has
- Whether the recorder has spare capacity on the hard drive
- Whether cable routes and power options are available
If you think you might expand in future, we can design the system with this in mind, for example fitting an 8 channel recorder for a 4 camera install, or leaving suitable cable routes.
Yes. Your CCTV system records locally to the recorder (DVR or NVR). If your broadband drops out, it will still continue recording as normal.
What you will lose during an internet outage is:
- Remote viewing from your phone or PC
- Push notifications and alerts to your phone
- Remote playback access
Once the internet comes back online, remote viewing and notifications will resume.
Recording time, also known as retention, depends on a few things:
- Number of cameras
- Camera resolution (for example 6MP, 8MP)
- Recording mode (continuous 24/7, motion only, or a mix)
- Frame rate and bitrate settings
- The hard drive size fitted to your recorder
As a rough guide, higher resolution and 24/7 recording will reduce retention. Motion based recording can greatly increase retention, but it depends on how busy the scene is.
We generally specify our systems to give you a retention period of 21 days.
Hikvision CCTV systems can support a multitude of notifications that can be configured to perform various actions from alerting your mobile phone to activating a parking barrier.
That being said, this guide talks about the three main notification options.
Motion Detection
In its simplest form, this is when an object enters the camera view area and a motion is triggered.
Line Crossing
An invisible line can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view area, for example the driveway threshold or the garden boundary. Once an object crosses over that line (from either way) - a line crossing is triggered.
Intrusion Detection
This is similar to Motion Detection but more specific. With Intrusion Detection an invisible quadrilateral shape can be drawn on a particular area of your camera view, for example directly outside your front door. Once an object then enters that area - an intrusion detection is triggered.
With all of the options above, the system is unable to detect the difference between a human, pet or other object. This can often result in false notifications being triggered to the user. In addition to this, if the system generates the notification - it is then down to your broadband provider (router) to push the notification out to your mobile device. This will often fail if your provider is not quite up to scratch or your mobile phone is currently in an area with poor coverage.
Because of this, we do not provide support on notifications that are sent to your mobile device.
Unfortunately, no.
We are authorised and Certified by Hikvision UK to supply and install their products.
We are unable to provide you with an installation only service if you have purchased your own equipment as we are not insured to do so.
In addition to this, we would be unable to provide you with our comprehensive support and warranty for three years that our systems come with.

Our prices are fixed, so the cost of your installation will really depend on the amount of cameras you require and the type of system.
