How To Control Your Wichita Falls Home Security From Your Cell Phone

Nowadays, a home security system is more than alarms and sensors. Your home defense might include smart locks, flood sensors, and a whole host of home automation components. To control it all you are able to make use of your central command touchscreen when you are on site. Or, you may control your Wichita Falls home security with a phone.

Thankfully, ADT’s mobile security application makes remote access and scheduling a breeze.

Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

To begin controlling your Wichita Falls home security system with your cell phone is through a download of the ADT Control app for your mobile device. At installation, your ADT representative can guide you through the basic configuration. After you’ve created your username and password details, you are able to log on using various devices. To arm your system, tap the easy-to-identify shield. You can also access any connected equipment from the app, including window and door sensors, smart locking and lights, and video cameras.

Access Your System From Anywhere

A home security app on your mobile device allows you to control devices within your residence with the effortless touch of your finger. Did you remember to lock the door when you left? Just open the ADT Control App. You can arm your system, view cameras, turn lights on or off, change the temperature, by hitting the right icon inside the app. Then receive automatic notifications on your phone if any of your security devices are triggered.

Keep Eyes On Your Property

By controlling your Wichita Falls home security system with your phone, you can get an actual video feed of your residence and surroundings when cameras are operating. Access live footage from all your security cameras straight from your cell phone, and save shorter segments or a single image, and watch longer videos as desired. If people show up – the postal worker, a delivery driver, or a relative -- simply utilize the bi-directional audio feature to speak with them.

Get the Most Out of Your System With Schedules And Geofencing

By using the central menu, you will find some advanced settings. Set schedules for your lights, heat, sensors, and anything else you like through the use of your own unique scene. In this area, you may specify how your security elements communicate with each other, and when you would like them to engage or turn off. Set a end-of-day scene that turns off all the downstairs smart bulbs, flips on the outside entrance light, reduces the comfort levels, and arms your alarms. Next, you can set a morning scene that does the opposite when the time comes to get your household going.

If you want to go even more high-tech, you can turn on geo-services from your central command center or smartphone. By doing so, you can have your residence prepare itself by operating locks, turning off the lights, and arming your alarms when you drive away. Then when you pull in following another day in the office, your home will come to life by automatically raising the garage door and disengaging the alarms.
