Have you ever been away from home and wondered if you forgot to arm your home’s security system? Stop worrying. Remote services allow you to arm and disarm, as well as check the status of, your security system from anywhere on a web-enabled device.

How it Works
Remote services allow you to connect to your security system from anywhere using a web-enabled device such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone. When you’re away, simply navigate to a secure website where you can log in and manage your security system online.

Benefits of Remote Services
Simplify and streamline how you interact with your home security system. You and your family can now stay connected and exploit the latest technology with remote services. Here are just three of the ways the features of remote services could benefit you.

1. Arm & disarm your security system from afar.
With remote services, you no longer have to wonder if you remembered to arm your security system. You can know! The unique web interface allows you to access a virtual keypad where you can perform many of the same functions you would on your keypad at home. Check the status of your security system and arm or disarm it on any web-enabled device, or through unique text messaging commands.

2. Receive text and/or email notifications of events.< /br> It’s impossible to always be at home. With remote services, you can receive text messages or email alerts whenever certain actions are triggered. For example, if you want to know when your child arrives home from school, an alert can be set up to send you notification when the front door is opened.

You can also receive notifications when any access point is opened, including:

• Doors
• Access gates
• Garage doors
• Pool gate
• Secured areas (i.e. liquor or medicine cabinet)

3. Check in on your home with video surveillance.
The unique aspects of remote services paired with video surveillance means you can access images of what is happening in your home in real time from anywhere with a web-enabled device. Remote video services give you peace of mind knowing your family and home are safe.

Stop worrying about the security of your home while you are away. Remote services relieve your anxiety by allowing you to check in on your home whether you are away on business or across the street.
