About Alarmhandler security system
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.

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 paid security guards - your family or invited friends can verify an alarm and let the police handle the rest

New generation of Alarmhandler rebuilt from the ground up. This means you need to create a new account when upgrading to version 4. Unless you’re using any of the other Compelling Software apps, such as our shopping list app Grosh, then you can just login using the account you created for that app.
Changes compared to the previous generation of Alarmhandler:
Updated technology, much faster and more stable
Simper to pay for the Premium subscription via in-app-purchase
Now up to 5 cameras across all your estates (per Premium account)
Modernized UI, simpler to select estate, direct view of recordings on home page
PIN code screen is now optional
Easy to add old phones as cameras using QR code
Substantially simplified app, removed seldomly used functionality such as estate helpers, guides for handling events, geofenced alarm control
