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
gaining peace of mind and control over your property’s safety. But getting started with a new
security system can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time.
In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the entire process of setting up your Cabetto
Security System, covering both DIY installation and professional setup options, as well as tips to
maximize your system’s features.

1. Unbox Your Cabetto Security System

The first step is unpacking your new system. Cabetto security kits are designed to be user-friendly and come with everything you need for installation. Inside the box, you’ll find:

• Cameras (indoor, outdoor, or both, depending on your package)
• Mounting hardware
• A central hub or control panel
• Sensors for doors and windows
• User manuals and quick-start guides

Pro Tip: Before you begin, lay out all the components to familiarize yourself with what’s included. Doublecheck the items against the checklist provided in the box.

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.

DIY Installation:

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.

• Why Choose DIY?
• Cost-effective (no additional fees for installation)
• Immediate setup—no need to schedule an appointment
• Perfect for those who enjoy hands-on projects
• Tools You’ll Need:
• A power drill (for mounting cameras)
• Screwdrivers
• A ladder (if installing outdoor cameras)

Professional Installation:

If you’d rather leave the setup to an expert, Cabetto offers professional installation services. A technician will handle everything, from placing cameras in optimal locations to connecting the system to your network.

• Why Choose Professional Installation?
• Guaranteed correct setup
• Expertise in camera placement for maximum coverage
• Ideal for larger or more complex properties

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.

6. Download the Cabetto Mobile App

Cabetto’s mobile app is the key to managing your system remotely. From viewing live camera feeds to receiving motion alerts, the app gives you complete control from anywhere.

How to Set Up the App:

• Download the app from the App Store or Google Play.
• Create an account and follow the prompts to link your security system.
• Explore features like live monitoring, two-way audio, and arming/disarming the system.

Pro Tip: Customize your alert settings to avoid unnecessary notifications, focusing only on important events.

7. Integrate Smart Home Features

Cabetto’s security systems integrate seamlessly with smart home devices, allowing you to automate and enhance your security.

Popular Integrations:

• Smart Locks: Lock and unlock doors remotely from your app.
• Lighting Systems: Program lights to turn on automatically when motion is detected.
• Voice Assistants: Use Alexa or Google Assistant to control your system with voice commands.

Pro Tip: Integration not only enhances convenience but also adds layers of security by creating an interconnected ecosystem.

8. Test Your System

Before considering the setup complete, run a thorough test to ensure everything is working as expected.

Checklist for Testing:

• Check camera feeds for clear visuals and proper angles.
• Open doors and windows to ensure sensors trigger alerts.
• Walk around the property to test motion detection.
• Activate the alarm to verify that it sounds and sends notifications.

Pro Tip: Schedule regular tests to maintain system functionality and ensure software is up to date.

Once your system is up and running, regular maintenance ensures it continues to function optimally.

Tips for Maintenance:
