About this app

Alarmhandler is like no other security system you've seen. It integrates SMS based alarm systems, IP cameras, and old phones of any make into a cohesive alarm system controlled by one app. Signup for a free 30 day camera surveillance trial in the app, no credit card required. If you just use the app to control your SMS alarm, it's free, forever.

1. Simple and intuitive app to control your alarm
- Easy to operate, tap icons to turn ON/OFF
- Or use our geofence based auto ON/OFF mode for camera surveillance
- Controls all IP cams and phones running our sensor app in the estate, any make/model
- Also able to control SMS based alarms, just tap ON in the app to activate both the SMS alarm and the camera surveillance
- We only store recordings when alarm is ON
2. Unbeatable price because we eliminated costly elements of traditional alarm services
- No expensive hardware required - reuse old phones or buy your own inexpensive IP cams
- No staffed control room - we use automated alarm monitoring, eg get notified if camera goes offline
- No paid security guards - your family or invited friends can verify an alarm and let the police handle the rest
3. Know if anything happens to your home

- Got existing alarm that sends false alarms? Extend it with Alarmhandler to validate the alarms
- No more going home on a false alarm
- Possibility to e-mail recordings to yourself for safe keeping
5. Automatic on/off using geofencing
- Stores a virtual fence 100m from your estate on the phone
- When crossing the fence, the app briefly awakens and makes a short and energy-efficent call to the Alarmhandler servers
- Based on how many persons are inside and outside the fence, the servers switch camera surveillance on or off
- Never forget to turn on your alarm again!
6. Safely respond to an event
- Follow built-in best practice guideline for handling break-in or fire
- Comment field to document how situation was handled
- Everything recorded in timestamped log that cannot be altered
7. Form a neighbourhood watch group

- Invite persons offering their help in the system, or anyone else by e-mail
- Your network only consists of persons YOU invite - and that accept your invite
- Dial anyone in the group to coordinate straight from the app
