In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains that you need to have an alarm monitoring plan if you want to use Total Connect 2.0. You can only use Total Connect 2.0 if you have a Honeywell or Resideo Security Panel and/or Total Connect 2.0 IP Cameras. The service offers many great features for your convenience.

Total Connect 2.0 is an interactive monitoring and automation used exclusive for Honeywell and Resideo Security Systems and Total Connect 2.0 IP Cameras. You can use this service to arm and disarm your system, check its current status, control Z-Wave devices, view the live feed for programmed TC2 IP Cameras, and more. You can access the service from a web browser or by using the Total Connect 2.0 Mobile App on Android and iOS devices. Total Connect 2.0 can also be used to send you notifications whenever system or camera activity occurs. The notifications can be set up with extensive customization so that they are used exactly how you want them to be.

In order to use Total Connect 2.0 with a security system, it must be connected with the Resideo AlarmNet360 Servers. These are the servers that link the system with the Total Connect 2.0 Service.
