The Right Security App Makes It Appear Like You Are At Home
Picture that a visitor approaches your Austin home while you'rehundreds of miles away, relaxing at your beachside resort. A phone text asks you to look at your doorbell camera video feed. It appears to be a delivery person, but to be on the safe side, you thank her using the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you turn on the front porch smart light or assign a friend a one-time-use smart lock PIN so they can place the delivery into the front hall for you.
A complete home security system should come with a powerful mobile app that lets you command most home security and automation components. The app can let you:
- See phone texts when a component detects unusual activity
- Turn of and on your security system
- Create lock codes and see the status of your locks
- Get live feeds of your Austin home security cameras
- Set activation schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn on and dim your smart lights
