Your home security system connected to your phone so you can check cameras, get alerts, and monitor remotely. Works with Ring, Nest, Arlo, Eufy - whatever system you've got.
### Your Security System, Actually Working For You
You bought the cameras or alarm system. Maybe you installed them yourself, or had someone fit them. But they're not connected to your phone, so you can't actually **check them when you're out**, get alerts, or see recordings.
That's where this comes in.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Most security systems are designed to be DIY app setup, but if you're not confident with apps or WiFi, it's frustrating and time-consuming. I can get everything connected and working in under an hour.

Good to Know
> 📱 **Multiple systems?** If you've got cameras from one brand and alarm from another, I can set up both apps and show you how they work together. **Old house WiFi problems?** Stone and cob walls in Devon properties kill WiFi signal. If your cameras are outside or far from router, you might need WiFi mesh system or extenders. I can advise. **Privacy concerns?** I'll show you how to turn cameras off, disable audio, set privacy zones. Your security system should work for you, not make you uncomfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions about Security system app setup in Sidmouth
What's involved in setting up a security system app?
Basically connecting your security cameras, doorbell, or alarm system to your phone so you can check them remotely. I install the app, connect it to your devices, set up notifications how you want them, and show you how to use it all. Whether it's Ring, Nest, Arlo, Eufy or whatever system you've got.
I've got cameras already installed - can you just do the app bit?
Yes, that's exactly what this service is for. Your cameras are already working, you just want them on your phone so you can check them from work or when you're away. I connect everything, test it works, and show you how to use it.
What if I can't remember how to use it after you leave?
I'll write down the basics for you - how to open the app, view cameras, check recordings, change settings. But also most systems are pretty straightforward once you've used them a couple of times. And you can always call me back if you get stuck.
Can you set it up on multiple phones?
Yes - yours, your partner's, kids if they're old enough. Most systems let multiple users access the cameras. I'll set up as many as you need, all included in the price.
Do I need WiFi for this?
Yes, your security cameras need WiFi to connect to your phone. If your WiFi is patchy in the area where cameras are, that might be the problem - I can check signal strength and suggest solutions if needed.
