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.

- 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

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
