The Right Security App Can Make It Look Like You Are Home
Picture that a visitor is approaching your Savannah home while you're a few states away, enjoying a pina colada at your coastside resort. A mobile text tells you to check out your doorbell camera video feed. It might be a postal worker, but to be safe, you thank him with the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you remotely turn on the front porch smart bulbs and assign a relative a temporary smart lock PIN so they can place the package into the kitchen for you.
A complete home security system should come with a robust smartphone app that lets you manage almost all safety and smart home components. The app should let you:
- Get phone texts when a component detects unusual activity
- Arm and disarm your security system
- Make lock PIN codes and see the status of your locks
- View live feeds of your Savannah home security cameras
- Make activation schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn down and off your smart lights
