The Mobile Security App Makes It Appear Like You Are At Home
Imagine that someone is approaching your Portland house while you're a few states away, enjoying a pina colada at your beachside resort. A smart phone alert tells you to drop into your doorbell camera video feed. It appears to be a postal worker, but to be sure, you thank her through the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you turn on the porch smart light or assign your neighbor a one-time-use smart lock PIN so they can move the delivery into the kitchen for you.
A complete home security system should use a powerful smartphone app that allows you to control almost all safety and automation devices. The app can let you:
- Receive phone notifications when a component detects unusual activity
- Arm and disarm your security devices
- Create lock PIN codes and confirm the status of your smart locks
- See live feeds of your Portland security cameras
- Set activation schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn down and dim your smart bulbs
