With SafeTouch’s mySafeTouch App, you can arm and disarm your alarm system and access live views and stored camera footage from your mobile device.

What Sets SafeTouch Security Systems Apart?
SafeTouch takes pride in offering its customers the most advanced home security technology. Rather than outsourcing services that affect your home security, SafeTouch maintains maximum control by owning and operating its own back-up systems, command center and monitoring equipment. SafeTouch operates in a few major Florida metro areas, including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee and Tampa, as well as Savannah, Georgia.
Their systems work with numerous telecommunication service providers, including AT&T, Brighthouse, Comcast, Embarq, GT and Media Com. SafeTouch’s equipment catalogue includes traditional security equipment such as motion detectors and window sensors, along with the latest smart home devices, like smart door locks and video doorbells. The Better Business Bureau gives SafeTouch an A+ rating and the BBB receives a relatively low number of complaints by SafeTouch customers.
