The home is the hub of family life, balancing morning departures, after-school activities, and evening relaxation. Today’s homes juggle even more with working parents, students, and remote work or study schedules. This constant activity creates unique security challenges: Who needs a unique code? What if someone forgets to set the alarm? How do you check in on kids or screen visitors?
EPS Security’s Total Connect® platform simplifies managing your busy home. With advanced security devices and a single easy-to-use app, keeping track of your family, pets, and home has never been easier—delivering peace of mind at your fingertips.
Staying connected with the Total Connect app
The EPS Security smart home solution revolves around Total Connect®, a security platform developed by Resideo First Alert, a world leader in home security solutions. Compatible security devices are networked and controlled through the Total Connect® app, giving remote control over both “typical” security features such as arming and disarming, checking the system’s status and alarm history, and even checking compatible Wi-Fi cameras. What’s more, other smart devices can be connected to the platform, including (but not exclusive to):
Door locks
Garage door openers
Light switches
Video doorbells
Total Connect® allows users to create schedules for their connected devices for maximum convenience. For instance, your front porch lights can be set to turn on every weekday at 6 pm to anticipate your arrival from work. You even schedule devices to activate/deactivate in conjunction with each other, allowing your doors to lock every time you close your garage door. With the Total Connect® app, you can know what is happening and when it’s happening, all from the palm of your hand.
Total Connect in your busy home
But how can EPS Security Total Connect help manage the chaos of your busy home? For those who physically work away from home, Total Connect makes keeping an eye on your house and everything inside incredibly easy.
How Total Connect® Helps You Stay in Control
Monitor Your Home: Access indoor or outdoor cameras, via your phone or computer to check on kids, pets, or visitors.
- Motion alerts capture activity, keeping you informed without constant monitoring.
- View saved video clips whenever motion is detected within a certain radius.
- Peek in on pets or see if Rosie left her track shoes on the kitchen table.
Screen Visitors Safely: Video doorbells let you see and communicate with visitors, ensuring secure deliveries and peace of mind when kids are home alone.
- Enable kids who are home alone to see who is at the door visually without needing to answer it. This will allow them to screen for strangers and give their parents a little peace of mind.
- Speak over two-way audio with the delivery person to impart further instructions. After they leave, check in on the package to ensure it remains undisturbed until you can retrieve it.
Support Busy Schedules: Kids can disarm alarms or control devices from their phones, while parents can track alarm history and remotely secure the home.
