Protect, connect and relax
How it works: For home, for life, for certain

Using today’s most advanced security technology, Cox makes your home's important systems part of an integrated, manageable network.

From security sensors and lights to furnace, AC, video cameras and more, Cox Home Security makes your home "smart" and puts the control to manage it all right at your fingertips.

At home, you manage your system using the touchscreen. On the go, you can manage it from your smartphone or wherever you can connect to the Internet.

Welcome to a security system that goes far beyond home security

Cox Home Security isn’t only revolutionizing how you manage your home – it's also pioneering what you can manage, going beyond anything today's ordinary security systems can do:

    • Arm or disarm your security system from anywhere.
    • View live or captured video of your home while away.
    • Receive text alerts and email when your system senses an event.
    • Set lighting and temperature controls from your cell phone.
    • Monitor fire and carbon monoxide conditions remotely.

With Cox Home Security, your home is always in view. With flexible and easy-to-use low-profile cameras, you can view live video feeds, previously recorded video or still shots via touchscreen, internet connected computer or smartphone.

You can also record and store video clips triggered by key events. The system keeps all your videos secure, even from our monitoring center – they can only be viewed by you on your touchscreen, smart phone or Internet-connected computer.
