This monitors your other Morepork components and communicates with you
The control panel monitors your other Morepork components. It has its own SIM card so it can talk to your Apple or Android smartphone or tablet over the Spark mobile network. The control panel contains a siren that sounds during an alarm event, and a backup battery that provides essential services during a power cut. Your Morepork can also be armed and disarmed from here.
These sensors monitor whether a door or window is open or shut
These alarm sensors monitor whether a door or window is open or shut. Each sensor is made up of two pieces that signal when separated. Door & window sensors are small enough to be used on drawers, cupboards, liquor or medicine cabinets, the freezer – anything that opens and closes.
Like a standard motion sensor, but with a built-in camera
An image sensor is like a standard motion sensor, but with a built-in colour camera. When triggered, it can send a photo of whatever triggered it to your smartphone. You can ask it to take a photo – called ‘peek in’ – any time via the Morepork app or web portal.
Record a video clip when a sensor is triggered, or view live footage
The video camera can stream live footage to your smartphone, tablet or computer, so you can check in on what’s happening at home. If any sensor is triggered when your Morepork is armed, the video camera will start recording and save a clip around a minute long, beginning before the trigger event. You can change your video camera settings to record additional clips at any time, including when your Morepork is disarmed. The video camera is infrared so it works at night as well as during the day, and has a viewing range of six metres in the dark.
Detect motion in areas you want to monitor without visual access
Motion sensors are ideal for areas you want to monitor but not allow visual access to, like bedrooms. They detect infrared heat in bodies over 18kg and have a range of up to 10m. Motion sensors should be installed facing away from windows to minimise false alarms. They cannot be adjusted for pet sensitivity so keep to areas pets can’t access when your Morepork is armed.
Detects smoke, sounds an alarm and alerts you via the Morepork app
Smoke alarms detect the presence of smoke using photoelectric technology. They’re on alert 24 hours a day, whether your Morepork is in armed mode or not. If smoke is detected, the smoke alarm and control panel siren will sound, and an alert will be sent to your mobile phone.

With easy to follow instructions, no wiring and no drilling Morepork can be installed by someone with no DIY experience. We give you everything you need to install your Morepork Security Starter Kit in 1-2 hours max.
Turn Morepork on or off from the app. Removing the pain of forgetting to set the alarm before you leave home, or turning it off and resetting it after a false alarm.
Set notifications for the events you want to know about – has the front door been left open? A smoke alarm gone off? Your child arrived home from school? Tailor Morepork to suit you.
If your alarm goes off, you can see a photo or video clip of what triggered it so you can decide what to do. If it’s a false alarm, you can simply reset your Morepork.
Keep an eye on your home, pets and kids. See a photo of what triggered the sensor or ‘peek in’ via the video camera or image sensor. Check who’s coming and going, and who’s getting up to mischief.
Give other members of your household access to the app. If you choose the Professional Response plan, alerts go to your home security monitoring service too.

Oh no! One of Morepork’s sensors detects a door or window opening, or unusual movement inside. It alerts the control panel.
The siren in the control panel sounds. It will keep going until you turn it off from your smartphone, or from the control panel by entering your user code.
Your mobile phone pings. The Morepork app has sent you an alert – and anyone else you’ve asked it to. What happens next depends on whether you are on the Self Monitored or Professional Response plan.
Available wherever there is Spark mobile coverage
With this plan, you respond to Morepork yourself. Alerts will come to your smartphone, and to anyone else you nominate. To see what triggered the alarm, check the image sensor photo or watch a video clip. Then you decide if there’s anything you need to do.
Available in most locations
In addition to self monitoring, a home security service responds to Morepork for you. Your Morepork will be professionally monitored 24/7 and in an alarm event, a pre-agreed security response plan will be actioned. That way you don’t have to worry if you travel often, are sometimes unavailable or out of range.
