Investing in a security system is one of the smartest decisions you can make to protect your home
or business. With Cabetto’s advanced solutions, you’re getting more than just hardware—you’re

2. Decide Between DIY and Professional Installation
Cabetto offers flexibility when it comes to installation, allowing you to choose between setting up the system yourself or hiring a professional installer.

If you’re comfortable with basic tools and following instructions, DIY installation can save time and money. Cabetto’s equipment is designed to be intuitive and easy to set up.

3. Position Your Cameras Strategically
Whether you’re installing the system yourself or using professional services, camera placement is critical for effective security.
For Homeowners:
- Front Door: Monitor visitors and prevent package theft.
- Backyard: Cover entrances or hidden areas that intruders might target.
- Driveway: Keep an eye on vehicles and suspicious activity.
For Businesses:
- Entrances/Exits: Track everyone entering and leaving the premises.
- Parking Lots: Monitor for unauthorized access or vandalism.
- Storage Areas: Protect inventory and high-value assets.
Pro Tip: Avoid pointing cameras directly at light sources to reduce glare. Mount them high enough to prevent tampering but low enough to capture clear footage.
4. Install Sensors on Doors and Windows
Door and window sensors are essential for detecting unauthorized access. These small devices are easy to install and provide an additional layer of protection.
Steps for Installation:
- Clean the surface where the sensors will be placed.
- Attach the sensor and its magnetic counterpart on the door or window frame.
- Test the alignment to ensure the system triggers when the door or window opens.
Pro Tip: Install sensors on all entry points, even second-story windows, for comprehensive coverage.
5. Connect Your System to Wi-Fi
Your Cabetto Security System needs to be connected to your Wi-Fi network to enable features like real-time alerts, remote monitoring, and cloud storage.
Steps for Connection:
- Power up the control panel or hub.
- Follow the instructions in the app or manual to connect the system to your home or business Wi-Fi.
- Test the connection to ensure all devices (cameras, sensors, etc.) are synced and functioning properly.
Pro Tip: Use a strong, secure Wi-Fi network. Avoid public or easily accessible networks to reduce the risk of hacking.
