How do Smart Home Security Systems Work?

Our Smart Home Security systems are controlled by either one or multiple keypads, full-colour 7-inch touch panels, or the app included with our Smart Home Monitoring plans.

Our Smart Home Monitoring plans enable you to control and monitor your security system and security cameras, and receive notifications on your phone, tablet, or computer, from anywhere with a cell signal and/or internet connection.

All home security plans feature multiple zones, easy expansion with compatible devices, and compatibility with proximity tap readers, so busy families can easily arm or disarm on the go with a small key fob. Indoor and outdoor security cameras and doorbell cameras can be added to either Smart Home Monitoring plans.

Multi-zone security system installations enable you to arm and patrol a particular area of your home so you can rest easier knowing your system is always protecting your family and property, whether you’re at home or away.
