M Installer
Installer app streamlines setup, guides configuration, and enables remote monitoring for efficient management of cameras, alarms, and sensors.
Problem
Too much programming and system info overloads users, making setup complex and increasing the chance of configuration errors or confusion.
Research Insights
After speaking with 15 installers and reviewing their feedback, I identified two primary challenges that consistently impacted their efficiency and satisfaction:
Overwhelming system complexity due to the amount of programming and technical information required during setup.
Fragmented workflows that forced installers to switch between multiple tools or interfaces, increasing the risk of errors.
