In the last blog we mentioned how at GuardHome, we can enable you to arm and disarm your alarm remotely. Below is a demonstration of the ‘Visonic Go’ app we can synchronise your system with to make this possible.

The first thing you will notice is the warning of a smoke alarm. A notification will be sent to you when a smoke alarm is triggered. Likewise, if any of the motion detection sensors are triggered during an armed period, you will also be notified.

In this case, we can see from the ribbon at the top of the first image that the system is ‘disarmed’. The app user will be able to arm and disarm the system at any time.

After we install an alarm, each occupant of the property may be assigned a user code or a key fob depending on if you wish for them to have access. By synchronising the name of each user to a user code or key fob, you will be able to see who has entered and exited the property (providing they set the alarm!).

Whilst the app is not for everyone, many clients find it very useful and interesting. It is also incredibly simple to use and very effective if you want to be able to know what is going on in your home whilst you are away.
