If you control your Concord home security system with your phone, you have an actual view of your property if your surveillance is turned on.

If you would like to go even more high-tech, you can turn on geo-services from the main hub or the app. By doing so, you can have your home secure itself by activating locks, switching off the lighting, and arming your security alarm when you leave the driveway.
