The Right Security App Can Make It Appear Like You Are At Home
Picture that a person comes up to your Salinas house while you're a few states away, relaxing at your coastside resort. A smart phone text tells you to check out your doorbell camera video feed. It appears to be a Amazon delivery person, but to be safe, you thank her with the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you turn on the hallway smart bulbs and assign a relative a temporary smart lock code so they can place the delivery into the garage for you.
A complete home security system should use a easy-to-use smartphone app that allows you to manage a lot of your home security and smart home devices. The app should let you:
- See phone texts when a device senses unusual motion
- Turn of and on your security system
- Create lock PINs and confirm the status of your locks
- See live feeds of your Salinas home security cameras
- Set schedules for your smart components
- Turn down and dim your smart bulbs
