Where To Install Your Alertify Device

Not sure where to place your Alertify device? We’ve got you covered!

Alertify is designed to monitor noise, indoor smoking, and occupancy levels in standard-size entertainment spaces. Since most guest violations happen in group settings, it’s essential to place your device where these activities are most likely to occur—your property’s common areas.

⚠️ Alertify is for indoor use only. If your common space is outdoors, Alertify will not function properly.


Best Placement for Maximum Protection

Install in a common area like a living room, game room, or entertainment space.


✅ Hide the device behind furniture (e.g., behind a TV stand, couch, or cabinet).


✅ Keep it out of direct sight to prevent tampering.


✅ Avoid placing it near loud appliances (e.g., TVs or speakers) that could interfere with noise monitoring.

Why hide the device?
A concealed placement ensures accurate monitoring without drawing attention to the device. If guests attempt to unplug or tamper with it, you’ll receive an instant notification, and the backup battery will keep it connected for a few hours.


What If You Have Multiple Common Areas?

🏠 More than one entertainment space? We recommend one Alertify device per common area to ensure full coverage.


🎉 Frequent large groups or parties? Consider extra devices to improve monitoring accuracy.


Final Tips

🚫 Don’t place the device outdoors.


🚫 Avoid direct exposure to steam or smoke from the kitchen.


🚫 Don’t block the device entirely (e.g., inside a drawer or enclosed cabinet).

By following these placement tips, you’ll maximize the effectiveness of your Alertify device and ensure it captures the most critical violations.
