Remote Technical Support
Enjoy lifetime peace of mind with CustomLink. Our Remote Technical Support is completely free for as long as you own the products you purchase from us — ensuring you always have expert help at no extra cost..
When you use our Pre-Configuration Service before shipping, in most cases our Free Technical Support is all you will ever need.
Deep Dive Support
For more complex needs, our Deep Dive Support is available as a paid option. This service is ideal when you require assistance at any stage of installation, including:
- Significant configuration changes to existing systems.
- Advanced systems such as Ness M1 and Inception.
- Setting up smart camera features such as thermal, facial recognition, number plate recognition, people counting, and other advanced event configurations.
Peace of Mind with Support Credit
Every Pre-Configuration Service comes with free Support Credit, which covers at least one Deep Dive Support session. This ensures you always have a backup option if you ever need advanced support.
Additional Support Credit is also available with other purchases.

Prepare For Remote Support
Before your support session, please ensure you have the Splashtop SOS app ready on both your mobile device and computer.
We provide remote support by connecting to your mobile device, computer, or both using the Splashtop app. This small software application allows us to connect and control your device remotely.
- On computers, we can control your device directly.
- On iOS mobiles, we can only see the screen but not control it.
If you’ve used TeamViewer, the Splashtop app works in a similar way.

Important Notes
- If you have trouble installing the app, we can guide you over the phone. However, this will use up time from your support session.
- If you prefer not to install the app, we can provide support over the phone only. Please note that this often takes significantly longer and, in some cases, the issue may not be resolved without the app.
- If we need to connect to your mobile device (e.g., for a remote site inspection), please ensure it has a reliable internet connection. You may be asked to move around your property during the session.
