Ways To Control Your Stockton Home Security With Your Cell Phone

In today’s world, a home security system has more features than door sensors and security cameras. Security may incorporate smart locks, flood sensors, and a wide array of home automation components. To manage all of these elements you are able to utilize your convenient touchscreen interface when you are home. Or, you can control your Stockton home security with a phone.

Luckily, the responsive ADT cell phone app makes remote access and scheduling a breeze.

Getting Started With ADT Control

To start controlling your Stockton home security system with your cell phone is by getting the ADT security app for your Apple or Android device. After it’s installed, your installer should walk you through the basic configuration. Once you have created your log-in information, you can enter it on various devices. If you want to activate your home’s security, touch the shield icon. You are able to access all components from the app, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.

Gain Remote Access From Anywhere

A home security app on your mobile device makes it easy to command devices around your house with the effortless touch of your finger. Forgot to secure the front door when leaving for the day? Simply go to your ADT mobile app. You have the ability to arm your system, check camera footage, adjust the lights, change the thermostat, by hitting the correct icon inside the app. You can even get instant alerts on your mobile device if any of your connected security elements detect an issue.

Improve Your View

If you control your Stockton home security system with your phone, you can enjoy a real-time video feed of your residence and surroundings wherever a camera is turned on. Peruse live footage from all your security cameras straight from your cell phone, and save short clips or an image, and access more extensive videos as you wish. Then when people stop at your house – the mail carrier, a delivery driver, or a relative -- take advantage of the two-way talk functionality to speak with them.

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

Through the main menu, you can explore some high-tech features. Use scheduling your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and whatever else you want by creating your own unique scene. Here, you can specify how your security elements interact together, and when you want them to engage or turn off. Make a end-of-day scene that switches off the downstairs smart lights, activates the porch light, lowers the comfort levels, and arms your alarm system. Next, you can set a morning scene that makes the opposite adjustments when the time comes to get out of bed.

If you would like to go even more high-tech, you can activate geo-services from the main hub or the app. Now, you can have your home prepare itself by locking the doors, switching off the smart lights, and turning on your security alarm when you leave the driveway. When you arrive after your long day on the job, your house will come alive by automatically putting up the garage door and disarming your alarm.
