How can you ensure that all is well back home while you’re relaxing on a beach in the islands? With a smart home security app via a mobile device, you can be reassured from anywhere in the world. In this blog, we highlight a few of the top app features that are very useful when it comes to protecting your home:

View Video Camera Surveillance From Anywhere

It is one of the things that homeowners appreciate about their security apps: being able to check on their home at any time. The apps allow residents to view live video surveillance camera footage of their property using their smartphones or tablets. It is a great way to ensure your home is just as you left it when on vacation. During the rest of the year, you can check in on your pets or see what the kids are up to if they arrive home before you.

Easily Adjust Settings in Your Home From Anywhere

While reviewing your surveillance, what if you notice something isn’t right? There was a light on in the kid’s room, or the back door wasn’t locked. You can adjust lighting, lock doors, and set an alarm from the same app you used to check your surveillance. Additionally, it is not necessary to watch your device all day to stay in touch; if you leave your house with the lights on or doors unlocked, you’ll receive a notification.

Allow Access When You Want

Also, there’s no need to hide a key under the mat to allow the pet sitter to enter the house while you’re away. Get a notification when they are at the door, so you can use your app to let them in. You can also disarm your smart security system and unlock the front door after checking your surveillance video to make sure it is them.

Get Notified the Moment a Sensor Goes Off 

There may be certain areas of your home that are off-limits. A motion sensor near your property’s perimeter or the opening of a medicine cabinet can trigger an alert on your smartphone security app. In order to find out who triggered the alarm, use the app to view surveillance footage. Authorities can also be notified immediately of suspicious activity depending on where the sensor is located.

Don’t worry about leaving your home alone for long stretches of time. With a security app, you stay connected to what’s happening there at all times.
