The Right Security App Can Make It Appear Like You Are In The House
Imagine that someone is approaching your Decatur home while you'rehundreds of miles away, relaxing at your beachside resort. A phone notification lets you look at your doorbell camera video feed. It might be a Amazon delivery person, but to be sure, you thank him using the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you remotely turn on the porch smart light or give a friend a temporary smart lock PIN code so they can move the package into the front hall for you.
A complete home security system should have a robust phone app that allows you to manage most home security and automation components. The app should let you:
- Receive phone notifications when a device senses unusual motion
- Disarm and arm your security sensors
- Set lock PINs and check the status of your locks
- See live feeds of your Decatur home security cameras
- Set schedules for your smart components
- Turn down and off your smart lighting
