Ways To Control Your Port St. Lucie Home Security From Your Smartphone

Nowadays, a home security system has more features than alarms and sensors. Your home defense might now involve CO detectors, smart lighting, and a whole host of home automation equipment. To manage all of these elements you can use your central command touchscreen when you are at your property. Or, you have the ability to control your Port St. Lucie home security with a phone.

Luckily, ADT’s mobile security application makes remote access and scheduling a breeze.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

The first step to controlling your Port St. Lucie home security system through your cell phone is by downloading ADT Control for your mobile device. After it’s installed, your ADT representative should walk you through the initial set-up. Once you’ve created your username and password credentials, you can use it with additional phones or tablets. When wanting to engage your system, tap the easy-to-identify shield. You can also access every device from the app, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.

Control Your Devices From Any Location

A home security app on your smartphone gives you the ability to control integrated equipment around your house with an easy tap of your finger. Forgot to secure the front door on the way out? All you have to do is access ADT Control. You can set your alarm, view cameras, adjust the lights, increase or decrease your HVAC, by hitting the right icon in your app. You can even get automatic notifications on your cell phone if any of your connected security elements sense trouble.

Get A Better View

By controlling your Port St. Lucie home security system with your phone, you have a real-time glimpse into your residence and surroundings if your surveillance is operating. Explore live views from any connected camera directly from your cell phone, and save shorter segments or still images, and access more extensive recordings as desired. Then when guests stop at your house – the mail carrier, a salesman, or a relative -- simply utilize the two-way talk functionality to give them instructions.

Increase Functionality With Schedules And Geofencing

By using the central menu, you will enjoy access to some high-tech options. Schedule your lights, heat, sensors, and more by creating your own unique scene. In this area, you may program how your security elements communicate with one another, and when you want them to activate or shut down. Make a nighttime scene that shuts down your main living area smart bulbs, turns on the outside entrance light, lowers the comfort levels, and activates your alarms. Then generate a wake-up scene that makes the opposite adjustments when you need to get out of bed.

If you would like to go even more high-tech, you can turn on geo-services from your security app or touchscreen hub. You can now have your property
“shut-down” by operating locks, switching off the lighting, and turning on your security alarm when you drive away. When you arrive following a long day’s work, your property will come to life by automatically putting up the garage door and disarming your security system.
