Offsite Control (Remote Access)
Access your URC system while off your local area network. Take
control by turning on lights, unlocking doors, or adjusting the
temperature, all while you are away from your home.
**Offsite Control requires your URC Professional Installer to
configure remote access.**
Two Control Methods
There are two ways to connect to your control system: locally or
remotely.
• Local Mode: Your Android device must be on the same local
area network (LAN) as the control system in order to
communicate. The LAN may offer increased speed between
your Android device and the control system. Also, using the
LAN should help you to avoid any access charges.
• Remote Access: When you’re not on the control system’s LAN,
you are accessing it over the internet/cellular network (remote
access). Remote access offers communication with your
system when not on the control system’s LAN.
The Access option provides the ability to use either method in order
to obtain the best communication with your system. Let’s say the
LAN is slow or problematic, in this case you can connect via
Remote Access (select Menu, Access then change your connection
from local mode(LAN) to remote access (offsite control) or vice
versa.
Page 19
URC MOBILE
Installer: Prior to enabling remote access the system must be
configured by using the URC software to setup the router. Follow

(arrow).
8. The control system is now enabled and available within for
remote access via the Menu popup.
Page 20
URC MOBILE
Controlling Your System (from an Offsite Location)

control system used.
• If on the same LAN as the system, it connects to the
control system and does not require a password.
• If not on the same LAN, it connects over the Internet or
cellular service, provided the remote access was
previously enabled (see prior section).
If you would like to control a different system, select the profile
location name from the Menu popup on the Main Menu.
2. When a system is accessed from an offsite location (remote
access), your URC Professional Installer may have required a
password to access the control system. Enter the password
provided by your Professional Installer. This option is not
required and can be turned OFF by selecting Remember
Password within the Settings: Offsite Control section.
3. The control system loads and the URC Mobile app opens to
the main menu.
