Business alarm and cameras

Cameras, alarms and doors in one fee-free application

Your camera application runs intrusion alarm sensors and sends alerts with the camera clip attached, adding no monthly alarm fee.

Choose your business type

Look at a floor plan of your workplace to see sensors, a siren and cameras in action. Pick your layout below and run a night sequence to watch an alert arrive on your phone.

Sales floorStockroomBack office123456
  1. 01Stockroom door contact tripsA door opening at 3:02 AM breaks a contact, triggering the alarm because your arming schedule covers that hour.
  2. 02Siren sounds on siteAn all-weather siren blasts at 110 decibels to clear the building and flashes its emergency LED lights.

Night-time alerts with video attached

01

Door opens while alarm is armed

An opening after hours triggers the all-weather siren and emergency LED lighting, logging the event with its exact time.

02

Alert arrives on your phone

Rules set the response, pushing an alert to chosen staff members with a camera clip attached showing who opened the door.

03

Owner views recorded camera clip

Opening your alert plays the video clip, showing exactly what tripped the sensor without needing a separate camera application.

04

No central station dispatch

Self-monitored alerts go directly to owner and staff phones, leaving you to decide your next steps based on the video evidence.

Schedules arm doors and sensors

Door contacts and motion sensors follow an arming schedule matching your business hours. Opening the back door at 3 AM triggers an alert, while the same door opening at 8 AM does not.

Door access by shift and person

Opening and closing crews receive door access by shift without handing over physical keys. Each person has a credential limited to chosen doors and hours, while suppliers get recurring visitor PINs valid only during delivery windows.

Limits of self-monitoring

01

Self-monitored without central station

Alerts go to your phones and not to a central station. Professional monitoring through a third-party service was announced for a coming version but was not yet available when checked on 2026-10-26.

02

Gives no UL alarm certificate

Insurer or lease requirements for a UL central-station certificate mean keeping a UL-listed alarm company. Your camera system gives no UL alarm certificate.

03

Fire alarms stay on listed systems

Fire alarm lines stay on a listed fire alarm system and carrier or listed cellular service. Your camera system runs alongside them, though doors can wire to a fire panel for evacuation unlocks.

Wireless sensors and wired panels

One wireless gateway supports up to 96 sensors per gateway, while indoor wall panels take over your old wired alarm inputs.

Installation and handover

  1. 1

    Survey existing doors and alarms

    Existing alarms, doors and monitoring contracts are surveyed first to check wiring, contract requirements and insurer demands.

  2. 2

    List needed alerts and locations

    Installers plan panel locations for power and network, checking which areas require alerts.

  3. 3

    Place and pair each sensor

    Wireless and wired devices are installed and tied to your custom arming schedules.

  4. 4

    Trip sensors at final handover

    Technicians trip each sensor to confirm the alert arrives on your phone before signing off.

Common questions from business owners

  • Can this replace my alarm company?

    Businesses needing a UL alarm certificate or fire alarm panel keep their existing contracts. Self-monitoring replaces monthly fees for owners wanting alerts sent directly to their phones without central station dispatch.

  • What happens when the alarm trips?

    Rules set the response. A door forced open can send a push alert with the camera clip attached, sound a siren, turn on lights or lock doors.

  • Can I reuse the wires and sensors from my old alarm?

    Wired contacts and motion detectors of an old burglar alarm can often be reused on our steel wall panel. Installers confirm compatibility per building during the survey.

  • What happens when the internet goes down?

    Door codes already synced keep working during an internet outage, but sending alerts to phones needs a connection.

  • Will it cause false alarms?

    False alarms are most often a placement issue, such as a motion sensor aimed at a vent or a draughty doorway. Technicians place sensors carefully to avoid these.
