- Home security installers can mount the hub in hallways, utility rooms or discreet closets without exposing internal electronics. The compact size helps maintain a low visual profile while ensuring reliable operation.

- In service and maintenance contexts, the bracket simplifies replacing or relocating hubs with minimal disruption to occupants or building fabric.
- When adding Ajax hubs to existing security or building-management systems, the SmartBracket’s neat cable routing reduces visible wiring and keeps control panels tidy within established infrastructure.
- For retrofit installs where walls may be uneven or previously drilled, the option to use double-sided tape as a temporary or supplemental fixing is useful for testing placement before committing to screws.
How it compares with similar mounting solutions
There are many ways to mount security control panels, from universal brackets to DIY solutions. Here’s how the Ajax SmartBracket stacks up against common alternatives.
- Fit and finish:Universal plates are one-size-fits-many; the SmartBracket is purpose-designed for Ajax hubs, so alignment, screw points and cable access match perfectly.
- Ease of install:Universal options often require opening the hub or adapting the enclosure; SmartBracket allows installation without opening, saving time and lowering risk.
- Appearance:Purpose-fit brackets give a cleaner, factory-like appearance compared with generic plates that may look out of place.
- Security:Adhesive-only mounting can be convenient but is less secure over time and vulnerable to tampering or environmental factors. The SmartBracket combines adhesive options with screw fixings for a more robust result.
- Longevity:Fixings included with the bracket ensure a stable, long-term mount in comparison to some adhesives that lose bond strength over time.
- Speed and cost:Custom-built compartments look seamless but take time and additional expense. SmartBracket provides a fast, low-cost alternative that still looks neat and professional.
- Serviceability:Custom enclosures may complicate maintenance access; SmartBracket keeps hubs accessible while maintaining a tidy installation.
What installers and customers typically say
While individual reviews vary, common feedback from installers and building managers highlights a few recurring positives:
- Save time on site:Installers report that being able to mount the hub without opening the enclosure significantly reduces install time, particularly on multi-unit jobs.
- Professional appearance:Customers and designers appreciate the clean cable routing and low-profile look the bracket enables.
- Reliable fit:The purpose-built nature of the SmartBracket means alignment issues are rare, reducing callbacks for repositioning.
For consumers who prefer explicit testimonials, look for installer forums and reseller product pages where verified buyers often share setup photos and short comments on fit and ease-of-install.
Installation tips and compatibility notes
- Always check that your hub model is part of the Ajax Hub family (Hub or Hub Plus) before purchase.

- Use the included screws and fixings for a permanent mount; double-sided tape can be used for temporary placement or to test location before final fixing.
