Taking the First Steps With ADT Control

Control Your Devices From Anywhere

A home security app on your smartphone allows you to command components within your residence with the effortless touch of your finger. Forgot to lock the door on the way out? All you have to do is access your ADT mobile app. You can activate your overall home security, see live video feeds, alter light levels, increase or decrease the temperature, by touching the correct icon within the app. You can even get instant alerts on your mobile device if any of your security devices sense trouble.

Improve Your View

If you control your Baltimore home security system with your phone, you have a live view of your interior and exterior wherever a camera is active. Explore live footage from your surveillance system right from your cell phone, and save short video snapshots or an image, and playback lengthier recordings as you like. Then when people show up – the postal worker, a salesman, or a relative -- simply utilize the two-way talk functionality to speak with them.

Go Advanced With Schedules And Geofencing

Through the primary menu, you will find some high-tech features. Set schedules for your smart thermostat, door and window sensors, lighting, and anything else you like through the use of your own unique scene. In this area, you can program how devices communicate with one another, and when you want them to activate or shut down. Set a bedtime scene that switches off your common-area smart lights, flips on the exterior entry light, lowers the thermostat, and arms your overall security alarm. You can also generate a start-your-day scene that does the opposite when the time comes to get out of bed.

If you want to go even more high-tech, you might activate geo-services from the main hub or the app. Now, you can have your home “shut-down” by activating locks, turning off the smart lights, and turning on your alarms when you depart for work. When you arrive from your long day on the job, your home will spring to action by automatically raising the garage door and turning off your security system.
