Abstract
A method of determining compatibility of a network hardware device for connecting to a home security network involves receiving, by a processor of a client device, data from a capture input device of the client device. The data includes identification information associated with the network hardware device. The method also involves transmitting, by the client device, to a server computing device the data comprising the identification information associated with the network hardware device. The method further involves receiving, from the server computing device, compatibility information indicating whether the network hardware device is compatible with a hub device of the home security network. Additionally, the method involves displaying, on a display of the client device, the compatibility information.
