Tips To Control Your Home Security From Your Smartphone
Nowadays, a home security system goes beyond keypads and alarms. Security can now involve CO detectors, smart lighting, and a whole host of home automation devices. To control it all you are able to make use of your touchscreen hub when you are home. If you’re away, you may control your home security with a phone.
Fortunately, the responsive ADT cell phone app makes remote access and scheduling a simple process.
Getting Started With ADT Control
The first step to controlling your home security system through your cell phone is through a download of ADT Control for your Apple or Android device. At installation, your ADT representative will instruct you through the proper settings. Once you have decided on your username and password credentials, you may use it with other phones or tablets. To arm your system, tap the easy-to-identify shield. You also have the ability to access any connected equipment from this convenient interface, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.
Gain Remote Access From Anywhere
A home security app on your cell phone makes it easy to manage integrated equipment throughout your home with an easy tap of your finger. Did you fail to secure the front door when leaving for the day? All you have to do is open ADT Control. You can set your alarm, see live video feeds, adjust the lights, turn up the temperature, by touching the right icon within the app. You can even get immediate updates on your mobile device if any of your security devices detect an issue.
Improve Your View
By controlling your home security system with your phone, you can get a live glimpse into your residence and surroundings if your surveillance is active. Peruse live video from your surveillance system right from your mobile device, and record shorter segments or still images, and access more extensive videos as you wish. In the event guests show up – the mail carrier, a delivery driver, or a family member -- just use the two-way talk capability to speak with them.
Get the Most Out of Your System With Scheduling And Geofencing
Through the primary menu, you can explore a range of high-tech settings. Schedule your comfort levels, sensors, smart lighting, and whatever else you want by designing a customized scene. In this area, you may program how your components interact with each other, and when you want them to engage or turn off. Create a nighttime scene that shuts down your downstairs smart lighting, flips on the outside entrance light, lowers the temperature, and engages your overall security alarm. You can also customize a wake-up scene that reverts the settings when the time comes to get your household going.
If you would like even more control, you could turn on geo-services from the main hub or the app. By doing so, you can have your residence “shut-down” by locking the doors, switching off the smart lights, and engaging your security alarm when you depart for work. Upon your return after a long day’s work, your home will come alive by automatically putting up the garage door and turning off your security system.
