Something's not working? Start here.
Phones, cameras, doors, alarms, network. Call us, open a ticket, or let a tech connect in remotely. The people who answer know your site, because they installed it.
Four ways to reach us. Pick the one that fits the problem.
Something down right now? Call. Everything else, open a ticket so it's tracked and nothing gets lost between phone calls.
Call us
Best forSomething is down right nowTell us which site and which system. If it's a quick fix, we'll often sort it while you're on the line.
Open a ticket
Best forChanges, faults that can wait a bit, anything you want on recordUse the form on this page, or email us. Either way a ticket opens with a number, and we keep you posted by email until it's closed.

Not a fault? Email the right desk.Each address lands with the person who handles it.
Three things that make the fix faster.
You don't need to diagnose anything. Give us these three details, by phone or with the form, and the tech starts fixing instead of asking.
- 1Which system, which site"The front door reader at Main St." beats "the security thing". Door, phone, camera or alarm, and where.
- 2What changedA power blip, a new internet provider, someone moved a desk, a new hire. Most faults start with a change.
- 3A photo, if you canThe error on the screen, or the lights on the device. One photo saves ten questions.
Goes straight into our service queue
A tech picks it up and replies by email. Something down right now? Call (548) 200-5969 as well.
You reach us
Call, email or portal. Either way a ticket opens, so nothing lives only in someone's head.
We try remote first
Most phone, camera and door problems are settings or a device that needs a restart. We fix those from here, with you on the line.
On-site if it needs hands
If something is actually broken, we book the visit and bring the part. Care plans put that response time in writing.
Want it faster, and in writing?
Anyone can call us. A Care plan adds a response time in writing, discounted labour on everything outside the plan, and one number for every system in the building, whether we installed it or not.
Response times count during business hours, Monday to Friday, excluding holidays. 24/7 emergency availability is an optional add-on at $99 per site, per month. Prices in Canadian dollars.
- $115/hrOn-site
- $80/hrRemote or admin
- 1.5×After hours and Saturdays
- 2×Sundays
- 4 hrsminEmergency, no plan, at 2×
If it's an IP Lynx outage, you're not billed for that response.
The calls we get most, and what to try first.
None of these replace a call. They just tell you what to check in the two minutes before you make it.
A fob or card stopped working
Try the same fob on a second door, and a second fob on the same door. One fob failing everywhere usually means that fob. Every fob failing at one door means the door, and that one is ours to fix.
Then email support@ with the door name and the fob number, if it has oneI need more fobs or cards
Order them online and we program them in-house before they ship, so they work the day they arrive.
Then Order fobs and cardsA desk phone has no dial tone
Check the network cable at the back of the phone and the light on the switch port it plugs into. If it's one phone, swap its cable with a working neighbour's. If it's every phone, check whether the internet is up before anything else.
Then call us with the extension number and what the screen saysA camera shows offline
Note which camera and roughly since when. Check that the recorder has power and its lights are on. Please don't unplug the recorder to "reset" it. That risks the footage you may need.
Then open a ticket with the camera name. We can usually see it from hereSomeone joined or left the company
Email us from an address we already have on your account with the person's name and what they need, or need to lose: doors, fob, phone extension, camera access. We confirm back when it's done.
Then support@iplynx.ca, subject "Staff change"The internet is down
Check the lights on the modem from your internet provider first. If they're red or off, the provider is the first call. If they look normal and the office is still down, call us: the switch, router or WiFi is on our side.
Then call us, and tell us what the provider saidWho do I call after hours?
The same number. After-hours, Saturday and Sunday work is billed at the standard rates above unless your Care plan includes 24/7 emergency availability.
Then Add 24/7 availability to a Care planCall us. If it's ours, we fix it.
If it isn't, we'll tell you who to call instead of sending you in circles. One number for the phones, the cameras, the doors and the network.
