  • How to Protect Your Privacy While Using a Home Security App

    How to Protect Your Privacy While Using a Home Security App

    One of the most convenient features of modern security systems is the mobile app. Since the app has the ability to arm and disarm your system, view camera video, and control other home functions, it’s important to keep it secure with protection from hackers.

    Below are ways to protect your privacy while using a home security app:
    • Connect to a trusted Wi-Fi network to keep your home security system information and events private from the public. If you’re not connected to a secure network, there’s a high risk of a stranger using public Wi-Fi to get your private home security information.
    • Most security apps allow you to share access with other family members. Consider limiting app access only to those who need it.
    • Change your password frequently. If your app allows, use two-factor authentication to log-in two ways to access your account. The extra layer of security helps prevent hackers from accessing your account with only a password and email.
    • Keep your mobile app up to date. Anytime your app has an update available make sure to download the latest as soon as possible. App updates often include bug fixes, security and privacy improvements.
  • Why is a Home Security Mobile App So Convenient?

    Why is a Home Security Mobile App So Convenient?

    Studies show that CONVENIENCE is what people most desire when choosing consumer goods for the home.

    Fortunately, EMC Security has got that covered. With the EMC Security mobile app, you’ll be able to control your home security system and equipment from anywhere you are – across town or across the country.

    What even better is that if you have a system in your home, chances are, EMC Security can use the equipment already installed and integrate the mobile app.

    So, you don’t have to spend extra for an entire new system to have the same conveniences offered.

    With a home security app, you’ll have the ability to:

    Check your security system status. Is it armed, disarmed, etc.

    Arm/disarm your system. Have you ever forgotten if you remembered to set the alarm? No worries, we’ve got your covered.

    Receive alerts if the status changes or if a sensor is triggered. You’ll know immediately when someone enters or leaves the house, lets out the dog, and more.

    Add users. Set up profiles for other family members or guests with their dedicated passcode.

    Integrate your compatible video doorbell. Receive a notification of motion or doorbell ring, click into the app, see and speak with the person, store video clips, and more.

    Integrate compatible cameras. See live activity, get video clips, notifications, store video, and more

    Connect and control compatible smart devices such as locks, lights and thermostats. This is particularly necessary if you have a pet sitter or someone entering your home while on vacation or out of town. Do you have a family member that keeps lower the air conditioner temperature? This convenient function lets you combat that from anywhere you are.

    Automate your routines. For even greater convenience, you can create scenes that will control your security system and smart-home devices automatically. Set a schedule so that when you disable the home security system, your door automatically unlocks and lights come on. Or when the system is enabled, the smart thermostat will lower the home’s temperature and turn off lights in case you forget.
