“He was here over 3 hours, putting monitors, changing the systems on my tvs that are on the walls, and doing lots of re wiring. Then 'Joe', who was on the phone from Panorama Panel, walking the 3rd party technician, through all the multiple steps, said after 3 hours, he now needs access to put devices on my desktop computer, laptop AND phone. Here I stopped... I explained, NO WAY.”

Why this is a gap

Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.

The market

Home AV and smart home installation companies need remote support without exposing customer privacy. No search volume data. This is a niche B2B segment that currently lacks a dedicated solution.

Competition & the opening

Open field · 2/10

TeamViewer, AnyDesk, and LogMeIn are generic remote support tools with no privacy controls for residential settings (2/10 crowded — very open). The gap is field-service-specific remote access that limits technician visibility to only relevant systems (e.g., AV equipment, not personal files).

What's hard to build

Building granular, system-level access control while maintaining reliable remote video/audio routing is hard. You need to integrate with smart home protocols (WiFi, Zigbee, Z-Wave) or AV ecosystems (Control4, Savant), each with proprietary APIs and closed ecosystems that don't expose remote-access hooks.

Why now

Remote support tools (TeamViewer, AnyDesk) lack granular access controls and real-time user consent; privacy regulation is tightening.
