The Right Security App Makes It Appear Like You Are Home
Imagine that a visitor approaches your Olympia house while you'rehundreds of miles away, enjoying a pina colada at your coastside resort. A phone alert tells you to check out your doorbell camera video feed. It might be a Amazon delivery person, but to be on the safe side, you thank him using the security app’s two-way talk feature. Then you turn on the front porch smart light and give a friend a one-time-use smart lock PIN so they can place the package into the garage for you.
A state-of-the-art home security system should use a robust smartphone app that allows you to control almost all home security and automation devices. The app will let you:
- Get phone texts when a device senses unusual movement
- Turn on and off your security system
- Make lock PIN codes and check the status of your doors
- View live feeds of your Olympia smart security cameras
- Make schedules for your alarms and cameras
- Turn up and turn off your smart bulbs
