Subscribers to the Ooma Home Security plan can take immediate action in response to unexpected activity by calling 911 from the app to automatically be connected to the home’s local emergency services. Additionally, emergency personnel will automatically receive your home address so they can respond to your emergency as quickly as possible.
- Automated arming and disarming: All users can manually switch between Home and Away modes. Subscribers to the Ooma Home Secure plan have access to the location-based, mode-switching feature, also known as geofencing, which uses your phone’s GPS location to arm your security system when you leave home and disarm it when you arrive.
