How To Control Your Santa Clarita Home Security Using Your Smartphone

Nowadays, a home security system is more than alarms and sensors. Your home defense can now involve CO detectors, smart lighting, and a wide array of home automation devices. To command it all you can utilize your touchscreen hub when you are at your property. Or, you have the ability to control your Santa Clarita home security with a phone.

Fortunately, the responsive ADT cell phone app makes managing your system easy to do.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

To begin controlling your Santa Clarita home security system with your cell phone is by getting the ADT Control app for your Android or Apple phone. At installation, your rep should walk you through the initial set-up. Once you’ve decided on your unique credentials, you are able to log on using other phones or tablets. If you want to activate your your alarms, tap the easy-to-identify shield. You also have the ability to access every device from your phone, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.

Gain Remote Access From Any Location

A home security app on your smartphone allows you to command devices within your residence with the effortless touch of your finger. Forgot to secure the front door when leaving for the day? All you have to do is access the ADT Control App. You have the ability to activate your overall home security, check camera footage, turn lights on or off, increase or decrease your HVAC, by touching the correct icon in your app. You will stay connected with immediate updates on your cell phone in the event any of your connected security elements detect an issue.

Keep Eyes On Your Property

If you control your Santa Clarita home security system with your phone, you can enjoy an actual video feed of your residence and surroundings if your surveillance is active. Explore live video from any connected camera directly from your cell phone, and keep shorter segments or still images, and playback lengthier recordings as you like. In the event people show up – the postal worker, a delivery driver, or a family member -- just use the 2-way audio feature to talk with them.

Go Advanced With Schedules And Geofencing

Through the central menu, you will find a range of advanced settings. Set schedules for your comfort levels, sensors, smart lighting, and more through the use of a customized scene. In this area, you may program how your security elements communicate with each other, and when you want them to engage or turn off. Set a nighttime scene that shuts down all the common-area smart bulbs, activates the exterior entry light, turns down the thermostat, and engages your alarm system. Next, you can set a start-your-day scene that does the opposite when it’s time to get your household going.

If you would like to go even more high-tech, you might activate geo-services from your security app or touchscreen hub. You can now have your home “shut-down” by activating locks, switching off the lights, and arming your security system when you drive away. Then when you pull in from a long day’s work, your property will come to life by automatically opening the garage and disarming your alarm.
