Overview
There are over two thousand devices that can work with VeraSecure.
VeraSecure Home Controller is the central hub for creating security or
smart home scenes. Scenes give you the power to simply and easily customize
your Vera controller to work with devices exactly the way you want.
Combine devices such as cameras, lighting and sensors
to personalize your system’s scenes.
SECURITY DEVICES
They are always on and monitoring your home. However, your VeraSecure
system will only report a breach if the sensor is in the “Armed” status. Normally,
these sensors are “Armed” in Night, Away and Vacation modes as default
settings. (You may change these defaults in the Settings section of the
Vera dashboard app.)

Vera App
The Vera App controls your entire VeraSecure system, including
all the devices working individually or together. Even if a device has its own app,
you won’t need it—use the Vera app instead.
The free Vera app runs on smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets, or in
a browser on any Windows, Mac, Chromebook or Linux computer. You don’t
have to choose between them—use your computer when home and your
smartphone when away. VeraSecure will continue running 24/7 to monitor
your home, regardless of whether you have the app open.

KEY FEATURES OF VERA APP
| Cards | Notifications
Modes are a powerful feature that lets you control all
your devices at once. There are 4 Modes—Home, Away,
Night and Vacation. You can customize how
each Mode works.
Your Vera system can have as many users as you like.
Everyone in your family, or everyone who works in your
small business can have a different username and
password. The Vera app lets you set permissions
and notifications for each user.
The Current Status Card displays at the top of the
Dashboard and offers a quick check of overall
Vera system status. You don’t have to check each
window sensor to know that all windows are closed
and the alarm system is “Armed”, for example.
Your Vera system can send you a text or email alert to
notify you (and other users) of just about anything that
happens in the system, such as when a door or window
opens, a motion detector trips, someone unlocks the
door, a smoke detector trips, and much more!
