Tips To Control Your Sacramento Home Security From Your Cell Phone

Nowadays, a home security system goes beyond keypads and alarms. Security might incorporate smart locks, flood sensors, and a range of home automation components. To control all of these elements you are able to use your convenient touchscreen interface when you are at your property. If you’re away, you have the ability to control your Sacramento home security with a phone.

Luckily, ADT’s mobile security application makes interacting with your devices easy to do.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

To begin controlling your Sacramento home security system using your cell phone is by getting the ADT Control app for your Android or Apple phone. At installation, your rep can guide you through the initial set-up. Once you’ve decided on your username and password details, you are able to log on using various devices. When wanting to engage your system, press the easy-to-identify shield. You are able to access any connected equipment from your phone, including cameras, sensors, and home automation components.

Control Your Devices From Any Location

A home security app on your smartphone allows you to command devices throughout your home with the effortless touch of your finger. Forgot to lock the door on the way out? Simply open your ADT mobile app. You can arm your system, see live video feeds, adjust the lights, change the temperature, by hitting the right icon within the app. You can even get automatic notifications on your cell phone if any of your security devices detect an issue.

Keep Eyes On Your Property

When you control your Sacramento home security system with your phone, you can enjoy a live view of your residence and surroundings wherever a camera is active. Access live footage from your surveillance system straight from your phone, and record shorter segments or an image, and watch longer recordings as desired. Then when people show up – the mail person, a salesman, or a family member -- take advantage of the two-way talk functionality to give them instructions.

Increase Functionality With Scheduling And Geofencing

By using the central menu, you will enjoy access to several advanced options. Set schedules for your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and anything else you like by designing your own unique scene. In this area, you may designate how your components communicate with one another, and when you want them to activate or shut down. Create a nighttime scene that switches off the main living area smart bulbs, activates the exterior entry light, turns down the thermostat, and activates your alarm system. You can also generate a start-your-day scene that does the opposite when it’s time to rise and shine.

If you want to get more technical, you could turn on geo-services from your central command center or smartphone. Now, you can have your property
secure itself by operating locks, switching off the lighting, and arming your alarms when you depart for work. Then when you pull in following another day in the office, your property will come to life by automatically opening the garage and disarming your security system.
