It depends on the kit. Many camera systems use Hik-Connect or SuperLive Plus / SuperCam Plus. Pyronix alarms use ProControl+. Ring doorbells and floodlights use the Ring app — start with Set up a Ring doorbell. If you are not sure, send us a photo of the recorder or panel.
I have a new router. Why has everything dropped off?
Wi‑Fi name, password or IP range has changed. Follow Reconnecting your devices. Alarms only join 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi. This is not a warranty fault — we can quote for an engineer visit if you would rather not do it yourself.
How do I set the alarm?
On a Pyronix Enforcer, enter your code or present your tag, press A for full set, then YES. Coming home, enter the code before the entry time ends. See set and unset.
How often should the system be serviced?
Alarms at least once a year. CCTV one to two times a year. Planned visits keep the system working — waiting for a fault is more expensive. See planned maintenance.
The cameras are not recording, or playback is empty.
Try playback first. If the timeline is blank, the disk may be full or failed, or power/network to the recorder is down. Contact us with the make of the recorder if you can.
I have forgotten a password.
Hik-Connect account passwords can be reset in the app or on the Hik-Connect website — see password recovery. Recorder or alarm codes are different; we may need to visit. Fees apply, and we will quote first.
