Tips To Control Your Lakeland Home Security Using Your Smartphone

These days, a home security system goes beyond door sensors and security cameras. Your home defense can include integrated smoke detectors, smart lights, and a range of home automation components. To control all of these elements you are able to utilize your convenient touchscreen interface when you are home. If you’re away, you can control your Lakeland home security with a phone.

Thankfully, the responsive ADT cell phone app makes managing your system a simple process.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

To start controlling your Lakeland home security system using your cell phone is through a download of ADT Control for your mobile device. At installation, your rep can guide you through the initial set-up. Once you have created your unique information, you can use it with other phones or tablets. If you want to activate your system, tap the shield icon. You also have the ability to access all components from the app, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.

Access Your System From Wherever You Are

A home security app on your mobile device allows you to control integrated equipment around your house with a simple finger swipe. Did you remember to lock the door on the way out? All you have to do is go to the ADT Control App. You can activate your overall home security, check camera footage, alter light levels, turn up the thermostat, by hitting the right icon in your app. You can even get immediate updates on your cell phone in the event any of your components detect an issue.

Get A Better View

When you control your Lakeland home security system with your phone, you have a live view of your interior and exterior if your surveillance is turned on. Access live footage from your surveillance system directly from your phone, and save short video snapshots or a single image, and watch longer recordings as desired. Then when visitors arrive at your door – the mail person, a salesman, or a friend -- just use the 2-way audio functionality to give them instructions.

Increase Functionality With Custom Schedules and Geo-Services

When you go to the main menu, you will enjoy access to a range of modern options. Use scheduling your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and anything else you like by creating your own unique scene. In this area, you are able to program how devices operate together, and when you want them to activate or shut down. Make a end-of-day scene that shuts down all the main living area smart bulbs, flips on the exterior entry light, reduces the thermostat, and engages your alarm system. Then customize a morning scene that makes the opposite adjustments when you need to get out of bed.

If you want to get more technical, you could allow geo-services from your security app or touchscreen hub. Now, you can have your residence prepare itself by activating locks, switching off the smart lights, and arming your alarms when you drive away. When you arrive following your long day on the job, your home will come to life by automatically opening the garage and disengaging your security system.
