The questions that come up most
Before you browse the topics
Do I need a SIM card in my old smartphone?
No. You do not need a phone plan or a SIM card to install and use the application on the old smartphone used as a sensor: it communicates directly and securely with your everyday smartphone.
The detailed answer is on the Installation FAQ page.
How many smartphones do I need?
You can start with a single smartphone, configured both to detect problems and to send alerts. It is however better to use several and to centralise the alerts on the one you carry every day.
The more devices you put in place, the more effective the protection. If you do not have enough, install them wisely: a well-aimed movement detection can cover the entrance of the building and part of the main room.
Do I have to pay a subscription?
No. sayseeshow.io is based on reusing ordinary smartphones: no dedicated hardware, no mandatory subscription, no hidden costs. All you need is an internet connection, Wi-Fi or 4G.
Do your servers keep my data?
No. Your devices communicate directly with each other, peer-to-peer, and the data stays in memory: this is the privacy-first principle we detail in our Privacy by design charter.
Is it legal to use the sayseeshow.io application?
Protecting your privacy and your home is a fundamental right. Only professional use is regulated by law. Our position is set out plainly on the FAQ: legal questions page.
