ALC Connect Plus will give you peace of mind by providing the latest security status of your home directly to your app or tablet. When you leave home, you can arm the system - any intrusions through the door, windows, or area motion will trigger an notification sent to the phone, as well as turning on the lights and sirens within the home. When at home, you can also set up scenarios where if a particular door is opened, the lamp will turn on; or even set up a schedule for lamps to turn on and off.
