Quick answer: Installers, integrators, dealers and other trade businesses can apply for an Anabon business account. Approval follows business validation; submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance or immediate price access. An approved account is the route for private pricing and project/support requests. Demo eligibility and conditions are confirmed separately for the approved products.

Who qualifies for an Anabon business account?
Anabon is a North American B2B security camera distributor supporting installers, integrators, dealers and eligible trade businesses. The account is a way to request the applicable pricing, support and project arrangements for work serving your customers. Actual business validation and approval are required; an account login or a product purchase does not by itself make a business a certified installer, grant every benefit or confirm a particular project’s eligibility.
- Professional and independent security installers
- System integrators and IT/security integrators
- Alarm and security companies adding video
- Low-voltage contractors
- Access control, gate, parking and HOA specialists
- Resellers, dealers, sales agents and project representatives
The account is not for end users. Property owners, facility managers buying for their own building and anyone installing for their own premises are referred to an installer. If an end user reaches this page: “For warranty and service, please contact the installer or company that supplied your system. Anabon supports warranty and technical service through our installer, dealer, and business-account network.”
Discuss the actual channel rules before applying. Keep CASE account/sell prices and customer proposals private; the only permitted public online price display is strictly above the announced MSRP, not at or below it. Confirm the applicable reference and listing arrangement with Anabon. The supplying installer/dealer leads the customer relationship, with distributor participation agreed for the actual case; account approval is not a margin or exclusivity guarantee.
What should you have ready for the application?
Read the security camera partner program overview, then ask Anabon for the current application route and exact validation requirements. The checklist below is preparation, not a verified list of mandatory fields for every business or jurisdiction. Confirm which company/contact details and supporting documents are actually needed; use the agreed secure process and do not send unrequested identity, financial or tax records. A public account sign-in page is not itself proof of trade approval.
| Have ready | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Legal business name and any operating name | Identify the business under the actual application requirements |
| Business address and service area (states or provinces) | Shows where you work in the US or Canada |
| Company website or public business listing | Shows the trade you operate in |
| Business contact email and phone as requested | Identify the authorized business contact; confirm the actual requested details |
| Your trade category and typical project types | Installer, integrator, dealer, low-voltage contractor, gate or access specialist |
| Contact person for orders and for technical questions | Routes quotes and support to the right person |
| Trade or contractor license, where your state or province requires one | Licensing rules for alarm and low-voltage work vary; verify the local requirement |
| Applicable business or tax documents, only if requested | Confirm the account/jurisdiction requirements and actual tax treatment; do not send unrequested sensitive records |
How do you open the account, step by step?
- Request the current application route through Anabon’s business enquiry process and provide the authorized business details requested. The account portal is a sign-in entry point; do not assume entering an email alone validates a trade business or grants partner pricing.
- Complete the business validation. Answer any follow-up questions and send the details requested. A complete first submission is the fastest route.
- Wait for the actual approval/access decision and confirm how your account pricing and quotation route work. Do not assume application, an existing retail/customer login or a complete-looking form guarantees approval, credit terms or immediate access.
- Set up your team. Agree internally who orders, who quotes and who opens technical and warranty cases, so every request comes from the account.
- Send your first project or request a demo. A first project review or a demo test is the most useful way to start; both are described below.
If your trade, location or project is unusual, ask Anabon to confirm eligibility and the application requirements before relying on approval. Keep the authorized company contact, requested information, response and any outstanding items in your onboarding record. Do not treat an account request as a confirmed supply, demo or service arrangement.
What do you get after approval?
The table describes routes you can discuss after actual approval, not automatic entitlements for every applicant. Confirm available resources, scope, charges, evidence and any separate authorization before promising them in a customer proposal. A programme overview does not define a delivery schedule, a particular discount, credit, territory or an exclusive right to a project.
| What you get | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Private pricing | Use your approved account pricing and prepare a private customer proposal under the agreed partner policy. |
| Direct quotes | Send larger or unusual projects with the camera schedule, recorder and network design |
| Technical support | Configuration, troubleshooting and compatibility questions through technical support |
| Warranty and RMA coordination | Your customer calls you; you open the case under your account and Anabon coordinates it with you |
| Project review and design assistance | Request scoped review of channels, bandwidth, PoE and storage; confirm available assistance and unresolved items |
| Per-SKU compliance documentation | Request available evidence for the actual SKU/configuration and procurement clause; record gaps |
| 90-day demo test | Confirm the exact approved package and exclusions, charges, setting and written return conditions before purchase |
| Product training and specification sheets | Request current approved training/materials and matching revision documents; confirm availability |
Private pricing and quotes
After approval, confirm the actual account pricing and direct-quote terms rather than assuming every public number is your trade price or that a particular discount applies. Use the CASE Project Series overview for CSP- requests: specify the complete configuration, required evidence and project conditions, and obtain written availability, lead time, warranty/service terms and open items before committing them. A business account is not confirmation that every configuration or deadline can be supplied.
Warranty, documentation and demo
Use the approved demo guide to distinguish account approval from approval of a particular test package and return option. Confirm the actual warranty/model exceptions and clause-specific documents for proposed equipment. The 90-day demo option has its own approval, product exclusions, condition and RMA requirements; it is not a general return policy or automatic coverage for every account purchase.
This list is the scope of the account. Any arrangement not described here is confirmed with Anabon in writing before you rely on it in a proposal.
What channel rules come with the account?
Use the security camera project quote route to prepare the actual schedule, quantities, design assumptions, required evidence and delivery needs. Channel rules support private quoting and coordinated service; they do not guarantee margin, exclusivity, bid success or identical terms across every project. Confirm the applicable account and advertising conditions before relying on them.
- Keep CASE account/sell prices private across public websites, stores, marketplaces, ads, feeds, social posts and PDFs. Any permitted public online price display must strictly exceed the announced MSRP and follow the applicable partner requirements; confirm the reference and arrangement before publication.
- Use the confirmed written term and applicable exceptions for each proposed item; do not apply one blanket warranty to the whole system.
- Compliance answered with per-SKU documentation, never a blanket statement about the whole line.
- Verify the exact model and firmware against the required interoperability record and test the functions with the actual platform/version. An ONVIF profile or brand name alone does not establish every discovery, event, audio or recording function.
- Use the approved CASE Connect name and actual platform status: Android is available, iOS is forthcoming and no unverified public web URL or feature parity is promised. Confirm supported device, firmware, client, permissions and functions for the actual project.
- Full SKU spelling with the series letter on every proposal line, for example CS-I8XQ II-2.8mm rather than a shortened name.
What should you do in your first 30 days?
A new account is most useful when the first job runs smoothly. A practical start:
- Build a proposal template with warranty by category and a separate hard-drive line.
- Send one live opportunity for project review, ideally one a little larger than your usual job. “Bring us the opportunity before you say no.”
- Ask whether a suitable product such as CS-I8XQ II-2.8mm is currently available as an approved demo, then agree the written evaluation and return conditions before ordering it.
- Size the actual recorder/switch configuration against the camera schedule, stream and AI limits, recording task, per-port PoE and verified total budget. A familiar SKU or a large port count does not establish compatibility, simultaneous capacity or the required power allocation; obtain the actual revision documents and quote.
- Agree who on your team opens support and warranty cases, so the site history stays in one place.
How to use this with your customers
Only after actual approval, describe your business relationship accurately. You may explain that your company provides the agreed proposal, installation and service, while Anabon supports the trade relationship with applicable technical and documentation assistance. Agree the actual scope and warranty terms; an account is not a blanket product certification, an exclusive territory or a promise of every programme benefit. Keep account credentials and customer information private.
FAQ
Who can join the Anabon security camera dealer program?
Trade businesses in the US and Canada: professional and independent installers, system integrators, alarm and security companies, low-voltage contractors, access control, gate, parking and HOA specialists, resellers, dealers and sales agents. The account is not for end users or property owners buying for their own premises; they are referred to an installer, and Anabon never bypasses the installer.
What documents do I need to open a business account?
Prepare a short description of your trade, service area, legal/operating business identity and authorized contact. Ask which supporting business, licence or tax documents are actually required for your jurisdiction/account. This guide does not prescribe a universal company-domain email, incorporation, resale certificate or tax registration requirement, and does not grant tax treatment. Provide only requested material through the agreed secure route.
Do I get private pricing immediately after I apply?
Business-account sign-in is the access route after the applicable validation and approval; it is not an approval decision by itself. Confirm the actual pricing/quote access and timing through Anabon’s current process. Do not assume submitting details grants instant pricing, stock, credit, a discount or eligibility for a demo, return or project.
Are there partner tiers, rebates or volume levels?
Ask Anabon for the actual written eligibility and terms of any tier, rebate, volume arrangement, lead opportunity or deal registration. The current public partner overview describes resources including support, training, project assistance and lead/deal opportunities, but those headings do not establish a specific reward, protected territory, guaranteed lead volume or exclusive project. Confirm what applies to your account before using it in a proposal or business plan.
Can I sell CASE products online once I have an account?
Use the private pricing guide to distinguish private account/sell prices from the limited public-display exception. Under the approved partner policy, a permitted public online price must be above the announced MSRP, never at or below it; confirm the reference and proposed listing arrangement. Keep the actual customer proposal private. Approval of an account does not automatically approve every online store, ad or feed use.
