Ways To Control Your Lexington Home Security With Your Cell Phone

These days, a home security system is more than door sensors and security cameras. Your property’s protection might include integrated smoke detectors, smart lights, and a whole host of home automation devices. To command everything you are able to utilize your central command touchscreen when you are at your property. Or, you can control your Lexington home security with a phone.

Fortunately, ADT’s mobile security application makes managing your system a breeze.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

The first step to controlling your Lexington home security system through your cell phone is by getting ADT Control for your Android or Apple phone. At installation, your installer should walk you through the initial set-up. Once you have created your log-in credentials, you can use it with additional smartphones and other mobile devices. If you want to activate your system, touch the easy-to-identify shield. You are able to access all components from the app, including smart lights and locks, surveillance systems, and sensors.

Access Your System From Any Location

A home security app on your smartphone gives you the ability to command integrated equipment within your residence with the effortless touch of your finger. Did you remember to engage the front door lock when leaving for the day? Simply access your ADT mobile app. You can arm your system, view cameras, alter light levels, change the thermostat, by using the right icon inside the app. You can even get automatic notifications on your mobile device if any of your components are triggered.

Improve Your View

If you control your Lexington home security system with your phone, you can get a real-time video feed of your property if your surveillance is turned on. Access live footage from all your security cameras directly from your mobile device, and keep short clips or a single image, and watch more extensive segments as you like. Then when visitors arrive at your door – the mail carrier, an Amazon or Grubhub driver, or a relative -- take advantage of the 2-way audio feature to speak with them.

Get the Most Out of Your System With Custom Schedules and Geo-Services

Through the main menu, you will find some high-tech settings. Schedule your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and whatever else you want through the use of your own unique scene. By using this feature, you can program how devices communicate with each other, and when you want them to engage or turn off. Make a bedtime scene that turns off all the downstairs smart lighting, turns on the porch light, reduces the comfort levels, and arms your alarms. Then generate a start-your-day scene that reverts the settings when the time comes to rise and shine.

If you’re looking for even more control, you might activate geo-services from the main hub or the app. Now, you can have your residence prepare itself by operating locks, turning off the lighting, and engaging your security alarm when you drive away. When you arrive after a long day’s work, your house will spring to action by automatically raising the garage door and disarming your security system.
