Tips To Control Your Sugarland Home Security From Your Phone

In today’s world, a home security system has more features than door sensors and security cameras. Your home defense can now involve integrated smoke detectors, smart lights, and a whole host of home automation equipment. To command everything you can utilize your central command touchscreen when you are at your property. Or, you can control your Sugarland home security with a phone.

Luckily, ADT’s mobile security application makes interacting with your devices a simple process.

Getting Started With ADT Control

To start controlling your Sugarland home security system using your cell phone is through a download of the ADT Control app for your mobile device. At installation, your installer should walk you through the initial set-up. When you’ve established your username and password credentials, you can enter it on various phones or tablets. To arm your home’s security, touch the shield icon. You also have the ability to access any connected equipment from this convenient interface, including cameras, sensors, and home automation components.

Control Your Devices From Any Location

A home security app on your cell phone makes it easy to manage devices within your residence with the effortless touch of your finger. Did you remember to secure the front door on the way out? Simply go to the ADT Control App. You can activate your overall home security, view cameras, turn lights on or off, increase or decrease the thermostat, by hitting the right icon inside the app. You will stay connected with immediate updates on your cell phone when any of your components are triggered.

Improve Your View

When you control your Sugarland home security system with your phone, you can enjoy a live video feed of your interior and exterior when cameras are turned on. Access live video from any connected camera straight from your cell phone, and keep shorter segments or a single image, and access lengthier recordings as you like. In the event guests arrive at your door – the postal worker, a salesman, or a friend -- simply utilize the 2-way audio capability to give them instructions.

Increase Functionality With Schedules And Geofencing

When you go to the central menu, you will find several modern options. Use scheduling your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and anything else you like by designing a customized scene. By using this feature, you may program how your security elements communicate with one another, and when you would like them to engage or turn off. Make a bedtime scene that switches off the main living area smart lights, activates the exterior entry light, lowers the comfort levels, and engages your alarms. You can also set a wake-up scene that does the opposite when you need to get out of bed.

If you’re looking for even more control, you can turn on geo-services from your central command center or smartphone. Now, you can have your residence “shut-down” by locking the doors, switching off the lighting, and turning on your alarms when you depart for work. When you arrive after a long day’s work, your home will spring to action by automatically opening the garage and disarming your alarm.
