Key Features
Although there are competing systems on the market, few are true end-to-end solutions such as those provided by Honeywell. Total Connect has been designed with true connectivity in mind, linking homeowners’ security control panels directly to a mobile device for easy remote security management via many of today’s most popular consumer gadgets such as the iPhone™, BlackBerry® and home PC. Combined with these devices, Total Connect makes home security more engaging. By utilizing the same devices that consumers use to send e-mail, download music and update their Facebook and Twitter statuses, Total Connect helps extend the use of security to appeal to users already comfortable with their own mobile communications. It also makes security a lifestyle-enhancing technology. Homeowners have the ability to make their home safer and enhance their awareness with a simple text or video message all in the palm of their hands on a familiar mobile device. For example, a picture or series of pictures or streaming live video can be sent to an iPhone or other smartphone upon an alarm or pre-programmed event, such as when a child returns home and disarms the system.
