The Right Security App Makes It Feel Like You Are At Home
Picture that someone is approaching your Plano home while you're a few states away, enjoying a pina colada at your vacation resort. A smart phone notification asks you to check out your doorbell camera video feed. It seems to be a delivery person, but to be safe, you thank her with the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you hit the button that turns on the hallway smart bulbs and assign a friend a temporary smart lock PIN so they can place the package into the front hall for you.
A modern home security system should come with a powerful smartphone app that lets you control a lot of your security and home automation equipment. The app should let you:
- Get phone notifications when a component senses unusual motion
- Turn of and on your security system
- Make lock PIN codes and check the status of your smart locks
- Watch live feeds of your Plano security cameras
- Set schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn up and turn off your smart lights
