A home security app allows homeowners to control their alarm system, view security cameras, receive real-time alerts, and manage smart home devices directly from their smartphone. With the CPI inTouch App®, your entire home security system is always within reach.
Whether you are relaxing on the couch, at the office, or sipping a drink on the beach, you can monitor and control your home with just a few taps.
The CPI inTouch® App works seamlessly with the full range of smart security solutions from CPI Security, allowing you to manage your entire system from one convenient place.
But if you are like many homeowners, you might only be scratching the surface of what your app can do. Let’s walk through some of the most powerful features you should be using every day.
What You Can Do With the CPI inTouch® Home Security App

Control Your Security System From Anywhere
One of the most valuable features of any home security mobile app is the ability to arm and disarm your system remotely.
With the CPI inTouch® app, you can quickly check the status of your system and secure your home from anywhere.
This makes it easy to:
-
Arm your system after leaving the house
- Disarm the alarm for guests or family members
-
Confirm your home is protected while traveling
No more turning around halfway to work because you forgot to set the alarm.
Pro Tip: Enable system reminders so you receive a notification if your home is left unarmed.
View Live Security Cameras From Your Phone
A powerful home security app should allow you to check in on your property anytime.
The CPI inTouch® app gives you instant access to live video feeds from your indoor cameras, outdoor cameras, and video doorbells.
With live video monitoring you can:
- See who rang the doorbell
- Check if kids made it home from school
- Monitor package deliveries
- Watch activity around your home in real time
You can even use two-way audio to greet visitors or speak with delivery drivers directly from the app.
This type of remote video monitoring gives homeowners peace of mind wherever they are.
Receive Real-Time Home Security Alerts
The CPI inTouch® app keeps you informed with customizable alerts sent directly to your phone.
You can receive notifications for:
- Alarm activity
- System arming and disarming
- Garage door open or close events
- Door lock activity
- Motion detection
- Door or window sensor activity
- Doorbell presses or motion detection
- System warnings like low battery or malfunctions
You can customize these home security notifications so you only receive alerts that matter most to you and your family.
Control Smart Home Devices From One App
Your security system is only the beginning. The CPI inTouch® smart home control app allows you to manage all of your connected devices in one place.
Instead of switching between multiple apps, you can control everything directly from the CPI inTouch® platform.
Here are some of the smart devices you can manage:
Smart Door Locks
Lock and unlock your doors remotely and create unique codes for family members, babysitters, pet sitters, or guests.
You can also set temporary access schedules, giving you complete control over who enters your home.
Smart Thermostats
Adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using the app.
With smart thermostat control, you can create automations that adjust the temperature when you leave or arrive home, helping improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Smart Lights and Plugs
Turn lights on and off remotely, set schedules, and create lighting routines that simulate occupancy while you are on vacation.
Smart Garage Door Controllers
Open or close your garage door from anywhere and receive alerts if it is accidentally left open.
Smart Water Shut-Off Valves
If a leak is detected, you can shut off your water remotely to help prevent potential water damage.
See Who is Coming and Going
For families, one of the biggest benefits of a home security app is knowing what is happening at home even when you are not there.
The CPI inTouch® app allows you to receive notifications when specific user codes are used to arm or disarm the system.
This allows you to know when:
- Kids arrive home from school
- A dog walker visits
- Guests enter the house
- Service providers arrive
Instead of wondering what is happening at home, you can simply check your phone.
Create Smart Home Scenes
Automation makes managing your home even easier.
With the CPI inTouch® app, you can create smart home scenes that trigger multiple actions with a single tap.
For example, a “Goodnight” scene could:
- Lock all doors
- Turn off lights
- Adjust the thermostat
- Arm your security system
You can even activate scenes using voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Home.
Stay Connected While Traveling
Heading out of town? The CPI inTouch® app makes it easy to monitor your home from your phone while you are away.
From anywhere you can:
- View live camera feeds
- Lock doors remotely
- Check your system status
- Schedule lights to turn on in the evening
- Receive alerts if unusual activity occurs
Whether you are across town or across the country, your home is always just a tap away.
Manage Multiple Properties
If you have a second home, vacation property, or small business, the CPI inTouch® app allows you to manage multiple systems under one login.
This makes it simple to monitor and control all of your properties from one convenient dashboard.
Smart Security That Works Together
One of the most powerful aspects of a connected security system is how devices work together during emergencies.
For example, if a smoke or fire alarm is triggered, your system can automatically shut off your HVAC system to help prevent smoke from spreading throughout your home.
At the same time, the monitoring center at CPI Security is alerted so emergency services can be contacted if needed.
This coordinated response happens instantly, helping protect your home and giving your family more time to reach safety.
Your Home, Always at Your Fingertips
The CPI inTouch® home security app is designed to make your life easier while helping keep your home and family protected.
From checking live cameras to controlling smart home devices and receiving real-time alerts, everything you need to manage your home is right in your pocket.
Whether you are at work, relaxing at home, or traveling, your security system and smart home are always just a tap away.
