Easy Access to Monitor and Control Your Home
Whether you're at the office, in a coffee shop, or on
vacation, you can check and adjust lights, security, temperatures, humidity settings, audio, access control, user settings, webcams, and more
using Snap-Link.
Snap-Link software is sold on an USB key that plugs into any
computer to monitor and control lights, security, temperatures, and webcams over the
Internet.
Snap-Link is easy to use and easy to setup because it is self-contained on the USB drive.
All you have to do is plug the USB Drive into any computer and
Snap-Link becomes available. There is no installation of the program, and
when you are finished you just unplug the drive and leave no residue of the application
on the computer.
You may set up Snap-Link to send alerts via e-mail, cell phone, or pager, based upon specified
events.
Brenda gets home from school and enters her user code into the HAI Omni-family home control system to
disable the security system. Accordingly, an e-mail is automatically sent to her mother's
work e-mail address informing herthat her daughter is home.
The homeowner is unexpectedly getting to go home early from work. He uses Snap-Link to turn down the
air conditioning in order to arrive home to a cool house before leaving work.
Snap-Link communicates through a secure Ethernet port on an HAI home
control system - no on-site computer needed!
Snap-Link is sold WITHOUT any subscription fees. It
uses 128 bit encryption,which makes it vastly safer than other
products that use web pages over non-encrypted connections.
Snap-Link will peacefully coexist on the same computer as HAI's
Web-Link II software product.
