GETTING STARTED
Welcome to AlphaTouch™ - the easiest, most portable video-intercom plaorm ... PERIOD.
When an AlphaTouch™ system is rst ordered, our factory engineers begin to program your devices according to your specicaons.
We will set up an account for your installaon, provide permissions to account managers and populate any building and resident
informaon we are provided with. Once programming is completed, your system is shipped to your locaon.
There is no on-site programming that is needed during your inial installaon, outside of perhaps tweaking some sengs to your
liking and to your parcular environment. Once the AlphaTouch™ devices are connected to an Internet-Enabled PoE (Power Over
Ethernet) network they will come to life, connecng to the AlphaTouch™ cloud services and they will download all of the program-
ming data that is required.
