The Abode app gives you complete peace of mind when it comes to your security by allowing you to arm & disarm, view live and recorded video, get a timeline history of your system, and receive immediate security alerts all right from your phone or tablet. It’s your security at your fingertips.

EASY SETUP
Abode’s starter kits are incredibly easy to set up using our app. Simply open your kit and app and follow the guided instructions to be up & running in under 30 minutes.

DASHBOARD
Your system at a glance. The dashboard allows you to arm & disarm, pull up live video, view your most recent timeline events, and run quick actions all without leaving this screen.

CUE HOME AUTOMATION
Create powerful automations with your connected devices. From turning on lights and raising thermostats for your morning routine to arming your system and locking your doors for bedtime, you can do it all right from the app.

EXPAND YOUR SYSTEM
Much like the setup process, adding new devices to your system couldn’t be easier via the app. Just follow the guided instructions and build out the system of your dreams in minutes.

CUSTOMIZABLE NOTIFICATIONS

SET UP WIDGETS
Add arming & disarming and quick actions to your widgets so you can quickly take care of your most important actions without ever having to open the abode app.

PUT YOUR SYSTEM ON AUTOPILOT
Use your phone’s location to automatically arm and disarm your system as you come and go. Set up the locations important to you and let abode do the rest.

WEAR OS
Abode also offers a Wear OS app which allows you to control many of your system functions from your Wear OS watch.

GOOGLE TV
The Abode TV app allows you to access live security cameras and control devices, trigger quick actions, and arm or disarm your system. With a subscription, you can also review your timeline history and access 24/7 video recordings.

Ratings and reviews

revising down to one star. endless issues with Abode, and all customer service does is blame everything but their product and refuse to fix issues. 24/7 video timeline does not work. The loading sign just spins and the screen blinks a lot, but nothing ever happens. Android version is extremely glitchy.

App crashes all the time. There is a bug where opening certain camera views will crash the app. The app literally crashed while I was writing this review. The cameras will unsynchronize from your WiFi on a weekly basis and then be unable to set up for weeks at a time. The setup process is glitchy and takes you for loops where you do the same steps over and over again like a crazy person. The sensors are unreliable and some of them such as the multi-sensor go through a battery in one week. Junk!

I've had more problems with Abode products and service and app than I could ever list. Ive had the full security system and paid service for 6 years now, and there's always some kind of problem. Abode never works all the time. Unlike my Nest cameras which have never in five years had a single problem. Tech support is the worst ...making you try various tech solutions yourself instead of Abode fixing your problem. What good is having a home security system during the times it doesn't work?
