Remote Technical Support (Free Lifetime Service)
Enjoy lifetime peace of mind with free ongoing remote support for every CustomLink product you purchase.
Our Remote Technical Support is 100% free for as long as you own the products, allowing us to remotely:
• Diagnose and resolve issues.
– If your system or product was originally set up or configured by you, we can assist with minor adjustments for optimal performance and provide a quick walkthrough on how to use your system.
– If your system or product was originally set up or preconfigured by CustomLink, we can fine-tune features and configurations if performance is not meeting expectations, and assist with firmware or settings updates when required to restore compatibility or resolve known issues.
• Use your Support Credit (if available) to complete tasks that fall under Remote Deep Dive Support, without needing to book a separate Remote Deep Dive session — provided a session slot is available.
If Support Credit is used, it will be deducted in 15-minute intervals.
When combined with our Pre-Configuration Service, your system arrives ready to install — fully customised, tested, and optimised for your site. In most cases, this free lifetime support is all you’ll ever need for minor adjustments, updates, and troubleshooting.
All remote sessions are delivered just as if we were onsite with you — live over the phone and apps, using screen sharing and step-by-step guidance to ensure everything is done correctly.

Prepare for Remote Support
We provide remote support by connecting to your mobile device, Windows computer, or both using the TeamViewer app.
Before your session begins, please ensure the TeamViewer app is installed and ready on both your computer and your mobile device.
This small application lets us view or control your device remotely, so our team can assist you as if we were on-site.
How Remote Support Works
-
Windows computers:
Complete remote control available. -
iOS devices (iPhone/iPad):
Screen viewing only (Apple restricts remote control). -
Android devices:
Complete remote control available (depending on device permissions).
Important Notes
- If you have difficulty installing TeamViewer, we can guide you over the phone; however, this will use time from your booked session.
- If you prefer not to install TeamViewer, we can provide phone-only support, but it may take longer, and certain issues may not be resolvable without screen access.
- For mobile-based remote inspections, please ensure your mobile device has a reliable internet connection and be ready to move around your property during the session.
