DCE MobileControl puts your DeCamp Electric PLC systems in your pocket. Built for farms and agricultural operations, it lets you monitor equipment, get alerted the moment something needs attention, and safely start or stop machinery — from the cab, the shop, or anywhere you have a signal. MONITOR IN REAL TIME See live readings from your equipment on clean, purpose-built pages — levels, temperatures, run status, amps, and more — laid out the way your installer configured them. Values update continuously while you're watching, and the app clearly shows when a system is offline or a reading is unavailable rather than leaving you guessing. INSTANT ALARM ALERTS Get a push notification the moment an alarm condition trips — even when the app is closed. Tap the alert to jump straight to the affected system. Silence individual alarms or mute everything for a set time when you already know about an issue; muting affects notifications only, never the live display. SECURE, PIN-GATED CONTROL Start and stop equipment right from your phone. Every control action requires a 4-digit PIN, honors the system's safety interlocks (a control won't run when its "OK to run" condition isn't met), and reports back the real outcome of each command so you're never left wondering whether it worked. SIMPLE, SECURE SETUP Add a system by scanning the enrollment code from your DeCamp Electric device — no usernames or passwords to type, and nothing sensitive stored in the code itself. All connections are encrypted end to end (TLS). The app collects no location data, no contacts, no advertising identifiers, and does no tracking. BUILT FOR THE FIELD Designed to stay responsive on older phones and to handle slow or intermittent rural connections gracefully — clear offline states, automatic reconnection, and no hanging on a dropped signal. REQUIRES A DECAMP ELECTRIC SYSTEM DCE MobileControl works together with a DeCamp Electric monitoring device installed on your equipment. Without an enrolled system there is nothing to display.
