Santa Security lets you capture a digital snapshot of Santa in your home, using only your Alarm.com app and a compatible camera. Come Christmas morning, your family can marvel at the sight of Santa visiting your fireplace, tree or backyard, bringing an extra touch of high-tech magic to a favourite day of the year.

How to set up Santa Security

To catch Santa in your home, you'll need the latest version of the Alarm.com app and a compatible home security camera.

1.     Open your Alarm.com app. Select a live video feed from one of the security cameras in your home.
2.     Tap the Santa icon in the video feed to get a still image from your security camera.
3.     Choose a Santa from the menu to add to your snapshot. You'll see full-color images of the real Santa for a daytime snapshot, and black and white options for the night. You can resize and move Santa if you need to.
4.     Delight your family. When your children wake you up at 5:30 am on Christmas morning, show them your snapshot.
5.     Share the magic! Share your Santa snapshots with family and friends by email, text and social media using the hashtag: #SantaSecurity.
