The Right Security App Can Make It Look Like You Are At Home
Picture that a person approaches your Tyler home while you're a few states away, enjoying a pina colada at your coastside resort. A smart phone text asks you to drop into your doorbell camera video feed. It seems to be a postal worker, but to be on the safe side, you thank him using the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you hit the button that turns on the front porch smart bulbs or give your neighbor a temporary smart lock PIN code so they can put the package into the front hall for you.
A complete home security system should have a easy-to-use smartphone app that allows you to manage almost all security and smart home components. The app should let you:
- Receive phone texts when a component detects unusual movement
- Disarm and arm your security system
- Create lock codes and check the status of your doors
- Watch live feeds of your Tyler security cameras
- Create activation schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn down and dim your smart lights
