Are the cameras app-controlled?
Yes — every install includes a smartphone app for live view + playback + alerts. The matched installer trains you on it before they leave.
Can you connect to a smart home (Alexa, Google)?
Yes — most modern systems integrate with Alexa + Google Home. The matched installer confirms compatibility before quoting.
