Ajax Systems, a manufacturer of professional security systems in Europe, and Yale, a leader in smart home security, have announced that they are expanding their collaboration to North America.

According to the companies, this step follows successful previous introductions of an integration in 35 countries worldwide and brings advanced smart lock solutions to users in the US and Canada.

Integrated systems

Ajax Systems says that customers in the US and Canada will now be able to benefit from a seamless integration and manage Yale Smart Locks directly from the Ajax Security System app.

All it takes is to add a compatible Wi-Fi enabled Yale smart lock, such as the Yale Assure Lock 2 or the new retrofit Yale Approach Lock, to the Ajax app.

The following is a complete list of Wi-Fi-enabled smart locks that are compatible with the integration in the US and Canada:

• Yale Assure Lock 2 with Wi-Fi
• Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch with Wi-Fi
• Yale Assure Lock 2 Plus with Wi-Fi
• Yale Approach Lock with Wi-Fi and Keypad
• Yale Assure Lock with Wi-Fi
• Yale Assure Levers with Wi-Fi

Ajax Systems says that key benefits of this integration include:

• Real-time notifications: instant push notifications of lock/unlock events and unauthorized access attempts
• Event history: a detailed log of lock events available in the Ajax app
• Easy management: control over access and permissions of all system users, including professional installers and security companies
• Automation: system scenarios and commands. For example, users can have the security system arm/disarm automatically when the lock is locked/unlocked
