The Right Security App Can Make It Look Like You Are Home
Imagine that a person is approaching your Montgomery house while you'rehundreds of miles away, hanging out at your coastside resort. A phone notification asks you to drop into your doorbell camera video feed. It might be a postal worker, but to be safe, you thank him using the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you hit the button that turns on the hallway smart bulbs or give a relative a one-time-use smart lock PIN code so they can put the delivery into the kitchen for you.
A state-of-the-art home security system should come with a easy-to-use smartphone app that lets you control most safety and smart home components. The app should let you:
- Receive phone texts when a alarm and camera detects unusual movement
- Arm and disarm your security system
- Set lock PIN codes and confirm the status of your smart locks
- See live feeds of your Montgomery smart security cameras
- Set schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn on and dim your smart lights
