Remote Monitoring

One of the benefits of smart home security is that you can view live and recorded surveillance footage your connected surveillance cameras from your smartphone no matter where you are in the world. Never again worry about what is going on in your home while you aren’t there. You can check to make sure that your kids have gotten home from school safely while you are still at work, or that your dog hasn’t gotten into anything that he shouldn’t have.

Control Your Home From Anywhere

Smart security also allows you to make adjustments from your home remotely. If a light is left on or a back door isn't locked after the kids leave for school, from the same app that you use to check your surveillance cameras, you can adjust your home’s lighting and lock your doors. You can even set the alarm remotely if you forget to do so on your way to work.

For more hands-off control, you can schedule the lights to turn off, the doors to lock, and the alarm to set automatically after you leave for work. You can let in your pet sitter and house cleaner remotely as well. Receive a notification to your smartphone when they are at the door and use your app to unlock the door and disarm the alarm system.

Proactive Protection

When your surveillance cameras are integrated with motion sensors, you can receive a real-time alert when suspicious activity occurs inside or outside your property. Advanced surveillance systems with a video analytics service can differentiate between regular movement, such as an animal walking through the yard or a car passing by, and suspicious movement, like a loitering stranger or car.

Additionally, if you have a liquor cabinet or a gun safe inside your home, you can place sensors on their doors to receive real-time alerts if your kids attempt to open them. If such alerts occur, use your smartphone to review surveillance footage to investigate the situation and ensure everyone is safe.
