About this app

The iSmartAlarm Home Security System is a DIY, self-controlled and self-monitored smart home security system with no monthly fees and no contracts required.

The iSmartAlarm app allows you to arm, monitor, and disarm your iSmartAlarm Home Security System at any time, from anywhere, in real-time. You can see who is home, when family members leave or return, and the status of every sensor and device.

The iSmartAlarm app manages all of your iSmartAlarm products, including Contact Sensors, Motion Sensors, iCamera (1st Gen), iCamera KEEP, Smart Switch, and more. Multiple homes and systems can be managed easily in the same app.

iSmartAlarm will alert all designated members with SMS text messages*, push notifications, automated phone calls*, and email when the iSmartAlarm Home Security System detects a break-in or unauthorized activity. Users can then choose how to address the situation appropriately - A call can be placed to the police in case of a break-in, or the alarm can be ignored and the system set to Arm again if it is a false alarm. (*Phone call and SMS messages available in US and Canada only).

Ratings and reviews

Too simple. Base unit would go in and out of connection regularly (sometimes x2-10 times in a week), with no function while not connected. To pile on, app crashes were inevitable. On my Turbo 2 and Keyone, I had to restart the app each time I switched back to the app from another phone function after a short period of time (<5 minutes). On my Galaxy Note9, the app crashes on open 100% of attempts. Developer feedback non-existent. Replaced with Ring; so far all expectations have been exceeded.

The latest version of this app does nothing but crash when first launched. Making the entire alarm system totally useless. What are we supposed to do with all this hardware that we bought? An awful lot wrong here. Full screen ads trying to sell you additional hardware while you're trying to secure your home. No way to independently control text msgs, emails, voice-calls, app notifications, siren alarms, siren chirps. Unclear buttons with text descriptions underneath that are even more unclear. When you first launch the app it randomly bounces around between 'armed, disarmed, and home" ... over and over again... even if you don't hit any of the buttons. Why? The hardware remotes are very poorly designed. Button icons are all upside down (based on the printing on the remote) and very small. They could easily be twice as big. Plus they're impossible to see because they're printed in white on a white background. Ugh. The voice-call you'll get is from some childish sounding male voice instead of a hired speaker. Sounds very unprofessional. The "arming delay" cannot be set between 1 and 30 seconds as we need. Constant spam emails from a company called "constant contact" c/o iSmartAlarm. Ugh. All of the batteries still falsely show 100% even after 2 years of constant use. Wrong. All notifications stopped working with that last update.

iSmartalarm is virtually useless outside of viewing the cameras in real time. The image skips a lot (its not my internet, or location of cameras - theyre right by the router and i get 175mb on all wireless platforms), theres constant connectivity issues as well as problems "arming" and "disarming" the system from a remote loacation. And most annoying, there's NO way to change the date/time which is WAY off and makes finding a specific clip impossible as the time stamps are way off. Plus more.
