The above may only be a few of the features found in the smart home security app used by Alarm Guard Security a proud TELUS Trusted Provider. But it is important to note that any reputable company should have the above features at the very least to help you control your security system.

Why are these features so important? Simply put, it is all about timing and control. Everyone knows how important it is to react to an emergency or even identify a non emergency event. Let’s face it, control needs to be at your fingertips even when you are not home. Reducing false alarms, and being alerted to real alarms is the most important part of having and using your smart security app.

Smart Video Features Of A Security App

• Live viewing of any smart WIFI cameras installed inside and outside the home.
• The ability to view recordings triggered by motion that already happened
• Receiving notifications of a live event in progress triggered by the motion parameters you setup
• Easy download of any or all video footage to your phone whether live or replayed.
• Live talk & listen through all our outdoor, indoor and doorbell cameras.
• Easy viewing of 24/7 recordings on indoor and outdoor cameras when attached with SVR or micro sd card attached with the outdoor cameras if they are V724 or V723X.

Having access to live viewing is an important part of verifying any event that is happening in real time inside or outside your property. It could be as simple as verifying your son or daughter has arrived home from school on time, or seeing a breaking happen in real time at your home or business.

Video footage takes the guesswork out of what happened..

The ability to check footage of an event that was recorded is also great, many homeowners have helped the local police in capturing a possible license plate of an intruder that broke into their neighbors. Seeing is believing and taking the guesswork out of whether action needs to be taken is time consuming or even life saving.

& so much more..

Home automation is here and will continue to grow in the future. Take advantage of including it with your security system today so you can save in the long run.

Reduce the energy your home needs to suit your lifestyle. Why do you need the air conditioning running when you’re not home? Just have it turn on when you are 15 minutes or less from arriving home. The same applies in the winter,  no need for heating the home to the max if it is not being used, keep it cooler when you’re away and have it heat up just before you arrive home.

Leaving lights on all day is a bad habit that happens to so many homes and usually goes unnoticed. Having control or setting up parameters to ensure this does not happen can actually save you money.

The time to bring your home up to date and take control of the important things are only a phone call away. Contact Alarm Guard Security today to find out exactly how affordable it really is. We offer plans that suit every family’s lifestyle and needs.
