Stay Connected with 'My Keypad' iPhone App

Oct. 26, 2009 - PRLog -- Give Your Security System a Little App-titude

My Keypad is an exclusive new service of Honeywell's Total Connect, one of the most widely used web and mobile security services in North America. My Keypad enables you to remotely arm and disarm your system, receive alerts and view event-driven pictures - wherever and whenever you want.

Available free on Apple’s iTunes® App Store (SM), the My Keypad App is compatible with Honeywell security control panels and replicates a physical keypad on the iPhone and iPod Touch® touchscreens.

Control Security Systems While On the Go

"Staying connected makes for greater peace-of-mind for both home and business owners concerned about their family’s safety and their business security," said Gordon Hope, general manager of Honeywell’s AlarmNet® communications network. "Mobile devices like the iPhone are known for the conveniences they add to our everyday lives. Applications like My Keypad and Total Connect, though, offer more than just convenience – they allow you to control an important aspect of your home and/or business even if you’re not physically there."

In addition to controlling security systems using My Keypad, Total Connect you can be notified of activities happening inside your home or business. For example, the system can send emails that alert you to specific events such as when a child disarms the security system upon returning home from school, or when a gun or liquor cabinet has been opened. When combined with a Total Connect video system, you can view images from cameras on a PC or mobile devices.
