Security systems specialist, Ajax Systems, has delivered a new cost-effective and effective video surveillance system and security system across nearly 100 Burger King restaurants across Norway. This case study details the project.

Burger King, like many fast-food businesses, uses security systems and video surveillance to keep their property safe from theft, vandalism, and unauthorised access. This creates an atmosphere where staff and customers feel safe and comfortable. The main aim was to safeguard the buildings, equipment, employees, and customers — while causing as little disturbance to the operation of the chain’s restaurants as possible, Ajax said.

Ajax Systems solution was to provide a wireless security system with easy-to-use mobile management and flexible access control, ensuring seamless integration into daily operations.

AlarmLink Oslo AS is a security installation company that operates throughout the entire country. The installer has recommended Ajax devices as a professional solution that meets the most stringent security standards. Each restaurant was equipped with Hub 2 Plus Jeweller control panel. This model supports a great number of security devices and user groups, the company says. It is crucial for further scaling, as it allows for accommodating expanding security needs without major infrastructure changes.

With four communication channels and LTE support, the hub can be connected to two separate Internet providers over Ethernet and Wi-Fi while having two cellular services ready for back up. It guarantees connectivity to Ajax Cloud and the central monitoring station under any conditions.

Motion and opening detectors control all possible entries into the building, protecting against intrusion and burglary.

Ajax solutions are designed for ease of use. Through the app, restaurant executives with admin rights can manage the security system directly from their smartphones. They receive immediate notifications when someone enters restricted areas, as KeyPad Jeweller is installed at the service premises entrance.

Restaurant staff smoothly integrated Ajax devices into their routine, using the Ajax app as the primary interface for the system. Managers arm the system when they leave and disarm it upon the arrival. They can efficiently control access to restricted areas and receive real-time notifications for any security breaches. This integration not only ensures smooth restaurant operations but also enhances premises security and monitoring at all times.

All suggested features were seamlessly integrated with Burger King’s existing video surveillance system because third-party cameras can be easily added into the Ajax app. With Ajax technologies, the restaurant chain effortlessly eliminated the need for costly new installations. This straightforward integration not only enhanced security measures but also saved the company money.

Additionally, Ajax devices are visually appealing and seamlessly fit into the interior, the company notes. Ajax Systems offers security solutions that not only keep things safe but also blend in nicely with any environment. Therefore, the sleek and modern look of Ajax products contributes to a welcoming and safe dining experience for customers.

Why Ajax?

Cost savings on installation – In certain countries, such as Norway, installing security devices can be expensive due to taxes and other related costs. Ajax reduced this expense item by half. The devices are ready to use out of the box, easy to install, and can be added to the system by scanning a QR code.

Seamless integration with existing security system – Ajax’s partners, specialists from AlarmLink Oslo AS, took a balanced approach and effectively integrated the existing video surveillance system with the Ajax security system.

Easy system management – Ajax solutions are excellent for chain companies, as they streamline the application of security features across all locations. Staff can quickly learn to use the system, which is especially important for businesses with high employee turnover rates.
