Home security: alarm, camera motion and smart locks in one app
Last updated: 7 October 2026
Alarms, cameras and locks usually live in separate apps. BluConnect brings them together with your lights and other devices and ties them up with routines: a notification when a camera sees motion, the alarm armed when the last person leaves.
Alarm panel
Supported alarm systems appear in the app as an alarm panel: live state (disarmed, armed, triggered) and Off / Home / Away / Night modes. Disarming asks for confirmation to prevent accidental taps.
- Home Assistant alarm panels (Ajax, Paradox, DSC and more via HA)
- Tuya alarm kits
- Bosch Smart Home intrusion alarm
Camera motion
Motion detection events from ONVIF cameras such as Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink and Uniview are read. The ready-made "Notify on camera motion" routine sends a notification to your phone; with a Home Hub at home it works even when the app is closed.
Ready-made security routines
- Arm the alarm in Away mode when the last person leaves
- Notify on camera motion
- Notify when the alarm goes off
Locks and doors
- Remote unlock for Tuya smart locks
- "Open door" button for Hikvision / Dahua door stations
- Routines triggered by door and motion sensors
Monitored alarm services
Monitored alarm services such as Pronet or Securitas offer no open API, so they cannot be connected to BluConnect; keep using their own apps for them.
FAQ
Do camera notifications arrive when the app is closed?
Yes, with a Home Hub at home: the Hub listens for camera events. Without a Hub, events are read while the app is open.
Are these features ready?
Alarm panel, camera motion and lock support are new and marked Beta in the app; they have not yet been tried on real hardware for every model. For safety, keep using your primary system's own app as well.
