How it works

Prevent unwanted guests

Whether you’re going out or going to sleep, arm your Secure system with a tap. Don’t forget to start the Mimic presence automation to make it look like you’re home if you’re leaving!

Detect who’s there

Secure cameras and sensors will detect any motion that occurs in their line of vision — and react instantly based on your personalized settings.

Get notified immediately

Find out exactly where and when motion was detected with a notification sent directly to your mobile device. With a Secure plan, you can even see if the motion was a person, animal, vehicle, or package.

Verify your response

Check the live view in the Security Center to see what (or who!) triggered the motion alert — and then choose what to do next. If you’ve got a Secure plan, you can also check in on your saved video history in the timeline.

Deter potential threats

Seem suspicious? Trigger an alarm that flashes your lights or sound the siren on your Secure camera with a tap in the app. You can even use two-way talk to warn off a potential intruder — or just say hello to a friendly face.
