Smart LAN makes the complete management of your intrusion detection system available on your Apple device. You can control your system in real time from the comfort of your mobile device, anytime and anywhere, locally or remotely via the internet. Smart LAN supports all display sizes, has a simple interface and intuitive operation: with just a few touches you can switch the burglar alarm system on, off or partial, check the status of the zones, consult the event memory, view video verification images, operate outputs and much more. The app allows you to manage several installed systems, without any limits: one app to control all your systems (home, office, company, etc.). Smart LAN uses a P2P system that keeps you connected to your alarm system regardless of the panel internet connection (ADSL, fiber, 4G LTE). Smart LAN is also a working tool for the installer, allowing him to fully program and test the control panel, locally or remotely via the Internet.

The clearest difference is update cadence: smart LAN at every 6 months against Universal4web's every 42 months. smart LAN also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
