Home Security with Mobile Apps

Do you realize the average family spends less time than ever at their home?  I’m not talking about doing things as a family.  I am talking about how our busy lives take us away from the home.

We have work obligations, community meetings, church meetings, sporting events, fitness programs, children’s school and extracurricular activities, social events and many other activities that take us away from our homes.

Being physically away from our home leaves our homes and our valuables ripe targets for thieves and burglars.

Fortunately, the home security industry has kept pace with our busy life styles.  Now with security apps on our mobile phones, we can keep an eye on our home even when we are not physically present.  Here are just a few of more reliable options you can use to keep a watch on your home when you are gone.

Alarm systems

You can arm and disarm your security system from your phone.  You can control the settings on your thermostat.  You can adjust the lighting in your home.  You can remotely lock and unlock doors.  All of this can be done from the push of a button.

Live Video

If you have video cameras installed in your home, you can watch live videos on your mobile phone.  You can monitor your children after school.  You can watch the actions of home workers, cleaners, contractors, lawn maintenance personnel or anyone doing work in your home. 

Notification

Home security apps can send you notifications by way of text messages or emails.  You can set up these notifications in case of a fire, or smoke in the home or if a water pipe has broken and is flooding a room.  People even use notifications  if a medicine cabinet or gun case door have been open.

Conclusion

Before the advent of mobile apps, there was always the fear about what you may find when you returned home after being away.  Now you can gain piece of mind through the one devise you never leave home without, your mobile phone.

At Lloyd Security we have the Alarm.com system that provides a full set of mobile security apps.  Give us a call and we will help you explore the options  you can use to feel more secure about your home even with your busy life style.
