Creating an account

Overview

info

Only for Remote mode.

The Sign up! page allows new installers to register a AlarmInstall account and associate it with a compatible alarm system. This process enables secure remote access to panel configuration via AlarmInstall.

Installers typically access this page:

• during initial application setup
• after receiving installation details from a provider
• when registering a new mobile device
• when creating a personal installer account for remote configuration

This page also serves as the entry point for:

• email verification
• password creation
• alarm panel linking

After successful account creation, the installer can log in via remote mode and access the AlarmInstall dashboard, or connect directly to the panel in direct mode.
