Frequently Asked Questions

What home security options does MailMate help with in Japan?

MailMate helps overseas owners set up security cameras for a home in Japan: indoor cameras in rooms with power and Wi-Fi, weatherproof outdoor cameras where there is power, and outdoor cameras where there is no outlet or internet connection. MailMate can also help find and contract with local security companies for alarm systems and other security needs.

Can I watch my home security camera from overseas?

Yes. With a camera set up at your home in Japan, you can see the live feed and recent events, such as motion or a person at the entrance, from wherever you are. You view the camera yourself; MailMate does not monitor the footage.

Can you install an outdoor camera without power or internet?

Yes. MailMate can help add an outdoor camera where there is no outlet or internet connection outside. Where there is already power, a weatherproof camera with a mobile connection can cover a place that does not have its own internet line.

Can you arrange a camera while I am overseas?

Yes. MailMate can help you look at adding a camera to your home in Japan, the paperwork, and what has to happen at the property. Availability, and any step that needs you or someone on site, is confirmed for that address.

Can MailMate arrange an alarm system or a security company?

Yes. Beyond cameras, MailMate can help find and contract with local security companies in Japan for alarm systems and other security needs. Contact us with the property and what you need.

Will MailMate watch the camera?

No. MailMate does not monitor the footage or answer an alert. You view the camera yourself.

Can a camera go on a condo exterior?

Only with the approval the building requires. In Japan, a camera on a condo’s exterior wall, a balcony, or a common area is not something to assume.

Is a camera the same as a security guard?

No. A camera lets you look at a spot. It does not send a person, and MailMate does not provide a security assessment or a guarantee against loss.
