Interactive video surveillance technology brings management of the home’s security system into the hands of the homeowner. In a home with advanced connectivity and security features, the homeowner can even disarm the alarm system and unlock the door remotely if the correct equipment is installed.
Integrated Security Systems
Internet cameras positioned in and around the house observe the protected property, and can be fixed with motion sensors. Each camera image can be viewed on a personal computer individually, or split-screen options can be selected to view more than one camera at once. An always-on home Internet connection allows the homeowner to access the password- and firewall-protected cameras and view their images from any Web-enabled device.

Perhaps the refrigerator repairman has called the homeowner’s work phone to say he’s at the house but the front door is locked. From the office PC the homeowner can log onto the camera’s internal Web page, enter a security password and access the camera positioned at the front door to verify the visitor’s identity. In a home with advanced connectivity and security features, the homeowner can even disarm the alarm system and unlock the door remotely if the correct equipment is installed.
