Mobile Apps For Home Security

By now, you’re well aware of the myriad of ways your day-to-day life can be improved with the use of smartphones and related technology. But many people overlook the opportunity to use smartphones and tablets for home security.

With the use of a security application, you can access your entire home automation system from a single screen — even when you’re far from home. Control your system from anywhere with a mobile app on your smartphone or tablet. 

At Lloyd Security, our systems are powered by Alarm.com. Read on to learn more about how we can help you keep your home safe with security applications for Androids and iPhones.

Apple Watch

The Alarm.com app for the Apple Watch uses interactions to allow you to control your smart home automation system. Control everything in your Lloyd Security system from the Apple Watch.

• Locks
• Lights
• Garage Door
• Thermostats
• Watch Video
• Get Alerts
• Control Your Security System

Devices You Can Use to Control Your Home

You most likely already own one or more devices that you could be using as tools to control your home with security applications. The following devices are compatible with our mobile apps:

• iPhone or another smartphone, such as a Google phone or Android

• iPad or another tablet

• Amazon Alexa or Google Home

• Smartwatch or Apple Watch

• Smart TVs, such as Apple TV or Amazon Fire TV

An estimated 80 percent of Americans own a smartphone, and around 39 million Americans own a smart speaker such as Alexa or Google Home. If you are one of them, you can maximize the benefits of these devices by using security applications when you’re away from home.

If you’re not convinced by the benefit of security on the go, keep in mind that you can use these devices to control your home from inside as well. 

If you have an Amazon Fire TV, for example, you can use the new Alarm.com application to watch live video from your security cameras directly on your TV. Keep an eye on the rest of your house while you’re busy in the kitchen finishing up dinner!

Why Security Mobile Apps Matter

It’s true that homeowners have gotten by without the use of mobile apps for security for decades. But now that this technology is in place, you may be missing out on many features that would make your life easier and your home more secure. 

Here are a few actions you can take from your smartphone, Android or Apple, with security applications:

• Control the locks on your house.
• Get instant alerts and notifications when you’re away from home.
• Watch video when you’re not home.
• Control thermostats inside your house.
• Control lights.
• Open and close the garage door.
• Set up Smart Schedules, Geo Services and custom alerts.

These features are critical for security, but they are convenient as well. If you forget to turn off the lights or lower the thermostat before you leave for a vacation, there’s no need to turn the car around. Instead, you can simply make the adjustment from your smartphone.  

Security applications offer you valuable peace of mind in a busy world.
