Check front door camera from your TV

Your Homelife HD Camera connects to Contour TV so that you don’t have to get off the couch to see that someone’s dropping off deliveries or the kids’ friends are coming over.

Unlock the door when guests arrive early

When you’re not home in time to welcome out-of-town guests or home repair workers, let them in using the Homelife app and Smart Door Lock (plus, you can see when they arrive with the HD Camera).

Pull up the wifi password on your TV

When guests want to connect to wifi, say “what’s my wifi password” into the Contour Voice Remote and it will display your Panoramic Wifi password on the TV screen for easy access.

Smart Security features

Let your products keep things in check at home—that’s one less thing to worry about.

Keep your family safe 24/7

Take total control of your home’s safety, even when you’re away, using the Homelife app. Your devices are professionally monitored for extra peace of mind, and you can set up notifications for all your smart home devices from smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to water and motion sensors.

Check in on pets & see when kids get home from school

The Homelife HD Camera connects to your Homelife app so you can keep an eye on what’s going on at home while you’re at work, away on vacation or whenever you get a security alert.
