How To Add Dealer Branding to ClareOne Activation Screen

Dealers can add their own branding to the ClareOne Activation Screen, prompting new customers to contact the dealer to activate their smart home and security. Dealers can either select from a template or upload their own custom graphic. In this article, we will guide you how to add your own branding step-by-step.

IMPORTANT: Only the company administrator is able to configure custom branding. Once the custom branding is configured, installers will have to individually add the branding to each panel separately. Please refer to the full instructions below.

  5. Using your laptop or mobile device where you have your graphic saved, open your WiFi settings.
  6. Your device should discover the AP signal of the panel. Connect to the panel via AP mode.
