The Right Security App Can Make It Look Like You Are Home
Imagine that a person comes up to your San Bernadino house while you're a few states away, hanging out at your vacation resort. A phone alert tells you to drop into your doorbell camera video feed. It seems to be a postal worker, but to be sure, you thank him with the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you hit the button that turns on the front porch smart light and give a relative a temporary smart lock PIN code so they can move the package into the garage for you.
A modern home security system should come with a robust mobile app that allows you to control almost all security and smart home equipment. The app will let you:
- Receive phone texts when a component detects unusual activity
- Turn on and off your security system
- Create lock codes and see the status of your locks
- View live feeds of your San Bernadino smart security cameras
- Create schedules for your devices
- Flip on and off your smart bulbs
