Home Security Beat

New Home Security Apps

Since the launch of the iPhone, there seems to be apps for anything you can imagine. You can use Twitter and Facebook from your phone, you can lose weight with its guidance, you can practice your cooking abilities, you can find your way through an unfamiliar location, etc. There are really no limitations to these apps and new ones are being launched every day. If you’re comfortable using these programs from your cell phone, you might be thrilled to know that home security apps for the iPhone and Blackberry exist too.

At the end of June, Alarm.com began marketing brand new home security apps, which are available in the iTunes App Store. Of course, there are limitations to the home security you receive, but at least you can step up your game and feel a little safer.

Alarm.com App Features

If you’re an iPod or Blackberry user, the apps will work for your phone, and they’re designed for those of you out there who are always on the go—it’s definitely convenient when home security programs are tailored to your lifestyle and corresponding needs. So wherever you may be—on a yacht or in the basement—you can take control of your home or business security systems. It’s great that you can use the apps at any time, but what can they do for you?

Basically, the app can be likened to a home security remote control. You can arm and disarm the alarm at any time. You can also watch real-time video or rewind old video clips from the surveillance cameras. In addition to monitoring the inside and outside of the home through cameras, you can also determine what doors, cabinets and windows have been left open and become aware of the most recent motion activity that occurred on your property. It’s like having eyes in the back of your head. You can even access a history of events including power failures, water leaks, etc.

Whether you’re on the go with your kids or traveling for business, a mobile and handheld home security monitoring system makes life easier and safer. Just think…if you know that a door or window has been left open, you can always call your significant other or neighbor to have them shut it, which will make you less of a target for burglars. You can even check in on your pets and kids too. Alarm.com’s apps are worthwhile if you have a hectic lifestyle that takes you away from home.
