Abode Just Made Apple TV a Security Hub

Home Security, Now on Your TV

Checking your security system just got easier. Abode’s new Apple TV and Android TV apps let you monitor your home right from your big screen. No more pulling out your phone or walking to a control panel.

With a few clicks, you can view live camera feeds, check recorded clips, and even arm or disarm your system. It’s perfect for staying in control without interrupting your daily routine. Now, security is just as easy to access as your favorite streaming service.

Watch Live Feeds Without Your Phone

No need to squint at a small screen to check your security cameras. The Abode TV app streams live footage from up to four cameras at once, so you can monitor multiple areas at the same time.

You can keep an eye on your front door, backyard, and living room, all in one view. This makes it easier than ever to check for unexpected visitors, keep track of deliveries, or just make sure everything looks safe. With your cameras displayed on a big screen, you won’t miss a thing.

Control Your System From the Couch

Ever forget to set your alarm before settling in for a movie? Now, you can arm or disarm your security system directly from your TV with just a few taps on your remote.

Instead of fumbling for your phone, you can quickly access your security dashboard while relaxing. This is a game-changer for late-night peace of mind. You’ll never have to get out of bed to check on your security settings again.

Smart Home Controls at Your Fingertips

Your Abode system is more than just a security setup, it’s also a smart home hub. The new TV app lets you manage select smart home devices through “Quick Actions.”

You can turn off lights, lock doors, or adjust settings directly from your TV screen. If you use Abode CUE for automations, you can activate custom routines without grabbing another device. This brings an extra level of convenience to your smart home setup.

Never Miss a Moment with Recorded Clips

If something happened while you were away, you don’t need to dig through your phone for footage. The Abode TV app lets you review recorded clips instantly on your screen.

You can jump to important moments and watch past events with a few simple commands. Whether it’s checking who knocked on your door or reviewing unexpected activity, your security history is always accessible.

24/7 Video Recording for Extra Protection

For those who want continuous surveillance, Abode’s 24/7 recording feature is a must-have. If you’re subscribed, your cameras will always be recording, and the footage is stored securely in the cloud.

The TV app makes it easy to scroll through your recorded timeline or jump to key events. If you get an alert, you can check the footage instantly, no need to switch devices.

Works with Apple HomeKit Too

If you already use Apple HomeKit, you might wonder why you need a separate app. While some Abode devices work with Apple’s Home app, the dedicated Abode TV app provides more advanced features.

You’ll get a full security dashboard, better camera controls, and access to recorded clips. Plus, every Abode system works with the new app, even if it’s not HomeKit-compatible. This makes it a better option for complete home security management.

Sync Your Security Across All Devices

No matter what device you use, Abode ensures a seamless experience. The TV app matches the layout of Abode’s phone and tablet apps, so switching between them feels natural.

If you check your cameras on your iPhone in the morning, you can pick up right where you left off on your TV later. It’s designed to keep security consistent across your entire smart home.

No Subscription Needed for Basic Use

Unlike some security apps, Abode doesn’t force you into a subscription just to use its TV app. You can view live feeds and arm or disarm your system for free.

If you want to store video history or use advanced features like Quick Actions, there are optional paid plans. But for basic home security, you can start using the app at no extra cost.

A Perfect Fit for Families

If you live with family or roommates, the Abode TV app makes home security more accessible for everyone. Instead of relying on one person’s phone, security controls are available on a shared screen.

Anyone in the house can check cameras, view alerts, or disarm the system if needed. This ensures home security isn’t just one person’s responsibility, it’s something the whole household can manage together.

Easy Setup in Just Minutes

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to start using the Abode TV app. Setup is as simple as downloading the app, logging in, and linking your security devices.

There’s no extra hardware or complicated installation required. Within minutes, you can have full access to your security system without lifting anything but your remote.

Save Money with DIY Home Security

Traditional security systems often come with high installation fees and long-term contracts. With Abode’s DIY setup, you can skip the extra costs and only pay for what you actually need.

The TV app lets you monitor your home without needing a professional service, and with no required subscription, you can start for free. If you want extra features like cloud storage, affordable plans are available, far less than most security companies charge.

Available on Android TV Too

If you’re not an Apple user, don’t worry, Abode has also updated its Android TV app, ensuring a nearly identical experience for Google TV users.

While the menu layout is slightly different, you still get live camera feeds, recorded clips, and smart home controls. No matter what system you use, Abode has you covered.

A Smart Choice for Renters

If you rent your home, setting up a security system can be tricky. You may not be allowed to install wired systems or sign long-term contracts.

Abode’s DIY system and TV app make home security simple. There’s no professional installation required, and you can easily pack up and take your system with you if you move. It’s a renter-friendly solution for better security.

A Rare Security App for Smart TVs

Most apps on Apple TV and Android TV focus on entertainment. That makes Abode’s new TV app stand out as one of the few security-focused options available.

Instead of just watching movies and shows, you can now monitor your home’s safety from the same device. It’s a practical addition to your smart home setup.
