ALC Connect Plus for Windows PC brings your home security monitoring to the desktop, where you can manage armed states, review camera feeds, and configure automations across a larger display.

Wireless camera connections differ from direct-connected setups, and users report success when they read pairing directions before attempting manual entry. A strong internet connection and proper motion-sensor calibration reduce reconnection issues.

FAQ
Why won't my cameras connect to ALC Connect Plus on PC?
Cameras require proper pairing through the app's setup flow. The app distinguishes between direct-connected and wireless setups, and choosing the wrong method causes connection failures. Follow the in-app directions for your connection type, confirm your internet signal reaches your camera location, and allow the app a few minutes to complete pairing. If a camera drops offline after connecting, restart it and log back into the app.
Will I receive real-time notifications on my desktop?
ALC Connect Plus sends notifications when sensors trigger or motion is detected, though reliability depends on your network stability and notification settings within the app itself. Some users receive alerts through email but experience delays with push notifications to the desktop. Check your app settings to confirm notifications are enabled for your device type.
Can I run ALC Connect Plus on PC and still use the mobile app at the same time?
Yes. Both versions use the same account, which means you can monitor and control your system from your computer during work hours and switch to your phone when away. Your login session persists on the desktop, so you stay signed in without re-entering credentials every time.
What smart home devices work with ALC Connect Plus on computer?
The system integrates door sensors, window contacts, motion detectors, smart plugs, and cameras. Integration with broader platforms like Google Home or Alexa can be inconsistent; some users report successful connections while others encounter pairing difficulties.
How do I set up automations for lights and plugs?
The scenario section lets you bind sensor triggers to plug or light actions. Choose a sensor, define its trigger state (door opened, motion detected, etc.), and select a plug or light to activate. You can create multiple scenarios for different rooms and times of day, all managed from your PC.
