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.

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.
