Our Etiquette Guide

Here are some helpful things to consider when using your Morepork. To see our full Privacy Policy click here.

  1. Advise visitors to your home that you have video and image capture components operating for security purposes (Morepork Security Stickers can help you with this).
  2. Try to keep your components pointed toward your premises and your things that you are trying to monitor, be respectful about the privacy of your neighbours and others around you.
  3. Be responsible with how you share these; particularly over social networks as you can’t recall content once it has been made public.
  4. Be respectful about the privacy of people living at your property. Talk to them about how you use your Morepork and ensure they are comfortable.
  5. Your Morepork is highly customisable, has loud sirens and in some cases can send many emails/alerts to you or other recipients. Be sure to use these features in a manner that will not disrupt others around you unnecessarily.
  6. Be respectful where you use Morepork. Putting video cameras and image sensors in bedrooms and bathrooms may be intrusive on others. These areas could be protected with motion or door & window sensors.
  7. Only add people you trust as recipients of alerts after you have spoken to them and got their agreement to receive these first.

This is intended to be a helpful guide only. If you need to understand your rights and obligations under the law, we recommend you seek your own legal advice.

Early exit fees

For Morepork customers who have bought their kit prior to 18 November 2016 there are no early exit fees for cancelling your Morepork plan. However, any outstanding deferred payments for your Starter kit will be payable upon cancellation.

Customers signing up to a Morepork plan after 18 November 2016 and received their Security Starter Kit at no cost providing they continue their monthly Morepork plan for a minimum of 12 months. If your Morepork plan is cancelled before your 12 months term has ended, an early exit fee applies (The exit fee calculated in accordance with clause 1.1(a)). Customers signing up after 18 March 2020, if your Morepork plan is cancelled before your 36 months term has ended, an early exit fee applies (The exit fee calculated in accordance with clause 1.1(b)).

Early Exit Fee Calculations

  1. The early exit fee is calculated based on the amount of months remaining of your 12 month commitment, at $40 per remaining month. For example, if the associated Morepork plan is cancelled after the first 10 months, the early exit fee payable is calculated as $40 x 2 remaining months = $80. The early exit fee is a genuine pre-estimate of the losses Morepork will suffer as a result of your plan being cancelled before the end of the 12 month commitment and covers the associated kit subsidy, kit shipping and delivery costs and associated administrational and customer services costs. Early exit fees are “Charges” in accordance with our Customer Terms.
  2. The Exit Fee is calculated using the following formula: A = B – {(B/C) x D} Where:
    A = Exit Fee.
    B = ADT’s Subscriber Acquisition Cost (SAC) being a variable cost calculated by ADT based on the terms of this Agreement and consists of selling, marketing and, where applicable, installation costs.
    C = The number of calendar months in the Initial Term.
    D = The number of calendar months which have lapsed in the Initial Term.

  4. Enter a passcode, and re­enter it to confirm.
  5. Once this is done, toggle the button beside ‘Touch ID’ to enable.

Buying and selling Morepork hardware - dos and dont's

What do I need before I buy?

You need to be an existing Morepork customer, with a Morepork subscription and control panel to utilise any Morepork hardware, including second-hand components.

The same terms and conditions apply to buying second-hand Morepork hardware as buying Works with Morepork products:

As the buyer, it is your responsibility to check the hardware is in good working order. Any issues will need to be taken up with the seller directly. While the Morepork Support Team can help you pair your hardware to your control panel, we do not provide a guarantee or warranty on hardware not purchased directly from us (or from our authorised retailers) as new.

Morepork is not liable in any way for hardware not purchased directly from Morepork (or from our authorised retailers) as new.

If you are buying a Morepork image sensor or video camera and the seller still has an active Morepork subscription, it is your responsibility to make sure they remove the device from their account first. No other add-ons need to be removed from an account prior to sale.

What can I sell?

You may choose to resell Morepork hardware you have purchased from us for your own personal use to another person when you no longer need it, except for your control panel. So, you can sell add-ons such as video cameras, door & window sensors, image sensors and smoke alarms. However, any such use of those second-hand components is not covered by the Morepork Warranty, we are not responsible for it and specific terms apply – see Customer Terms – Third Party Products.

We cannot permit the resale of your control panel because it is linked to you as an individual and we’re unable to reset it to someone else. This means giving your panel to someone else could compromise the security protocols that protect both you and the buyer. For this reason, we do not support control panels that are resold and we will not connect them to the Morepork service.

Before you sell:

If you wish to sell a Morepork image sensor or video camera, it is your responsibility to remove it from your account first.

To delete an image sensor, see here.
To delete a video camera, see here.

No other add-ons need to be removed from your account prior to sale.

You should also let the buyer know that second-hand hardware is not covered by the Morepork warranty and that any issue with that hardware will need to be resolved directly with you. For more information see our Customer Terms.

Who are Alarm.com?

Alarm.com is Alarm.com Incorporated, the third party supplier in the USA who we engage to provide Morepork customers with the cloud, web portal and mobile app components of the Morepork service and who supplies us the video cameras used in connection with the Services.

The Alarm.com Infrastructure consists of various web application servers, application servers, database servers, file servers, signal dialers, management servers and various security/storage/network devices. The web application servers reside in a DMZ network, which is segmented by a firewall from all other networks. It permits inbound web (HTTPS) traffic to the load balancer, which distributes traffic to each of the web application servers. The application servers establish connections to the database servers and other backend servers, which are on an internal network, also firewalled from all other network segments. The order-processing server connects to Alarm.com’s hosted financial system and in the case of credit card based payment, to an external payment processing system over SSL/TLS. Virtual firewalls are also used to restrict and filter network traffic between network segments.

For credit card payment, the order processing server connects to an external payment processing system over SSL/TLS and is encrypted with AES 256 with SHA1. Virtual firewalls are also used to restrict and filter network traffic between network segments. Connections between end users and Alarm.com utilize AES 128 SHA. Alarm.com follows PCI guidelines and disables non-secure ciphers.

Alarm.com customer data is not stored on removable media. Removable media containing data is encrypted with AES-256 encryption and clearly marked to indicate that it contains sensitive data.

Our Safety Tips Guide

Our safety tips:

  1. Morepork will never ask you for your password, do not give this to anyone. Do not share your credentials with anyone.
  2. When you grant access to other users or logins of your Morepork ensure that you do not use the same password or login details. This includes not using a structure convention to create users or logins (IE: MyUser1, MyUser2, Etc).

Visit your usual Google Play or Apple app store from your device and search ‘Morepork’.

The app is compatible with:

  • iPhone and iPad – requires iOS 8.0 or later
  • Android phones and tablets – requires OS 4.0.3 or later

If you have a Windows phone, you can download the Alarm.com app from the Microsoft store. You may not get all the functionality the Morepork app offers, but will be able to arm/disarm, peek-in and view video footage.

Can I change the ownership of my Morepork?

We do not allow change of ownership for any Morepork accounts, this includes Morepork Video.
This is because your account is linked to you as an individual and we’re unable to reset it for someone else. This means giving your account to someone else could compromise the security protocols that protect both you and the buyer.
If you want to change the email address/username on your account, you can do that by calling our Support Team at 0800 787 238.

However, you can resell your hardware (with the exception of the control panel) to someone who has an existing Morepork subscription. See here for details.

Guard Callout Areas
