How To Get Started With ADT Control

To start controlling your South Fulton home security system with your cell phone is through a download of the ADT Control app for your Apple or Android device. At installation, your installer should walk you through the initial set-up. When you have decided on your username and password information, you may enter it on other phones or tablets.

Improve Your View

If you control your South Fulton home security system with your phone, you can get an actual view of your property when cameras are active. Explore live footage from any connected camera straight from your phone, and record short video snapshots or still images, and access longer videos as desired. Then when guests arrive at your door – the postal worker, an Amazon or Grubhub driver, or a family member -- simply utilize the bi-directional audio capability to talk with them.

Increase Functionality With Schedules And Geofencing

When you go to the main menu, you can explore a range of high-tech options. Use scheduling your comfort levels, sensors, smart lighting, and anything else you like by designing your own unique scene.

Next, you can generate a wake-up scene that makes the opposite adjustments when the time comes to rise and shine.

If you would like even more control, you could activate geo-services from the main hub or the app. By doing so, you can have your home prepare itself by operating locks, turning off the smart lights, and arming your security system when you drive away. Then when you pull in from another day in the office, your house will come to life by automatically raising the garage door and disengaging your alarm.
