Home Security Has Evolved… Into Alarm.com

Stay informed and in control of your security system from almost anywhere. With the latest in technology, now you can control your security system from anyplace that has any internet connection.

Alarm.com uses the power of the web, email, text alerts and voice communications to keep you aware when you cannot be there and all of this is done without a standard land line for communication.

The web portal and the simplified smart phone (blackberry, droid an iPhone) apps allow you to control your security system from a simple to use GUI interface. Control that used to be cumbersome from a wall keypad is now simplified on the web portal. 

  • Arming the system
  • Disarming the system
  • Adding a user code
  • What time did the kids get home?
  • Did the power come back on?

Remote Access via the web or a smart phone…

If you don’t have a smart phone but can access the web through your phone’s Internet browser, than just use the cell phone optimized website. (Alarm.com/pda)

With real time emails and text messages you can create alerts to be generated at specific times of day or when an event occurs, such as:

  • A child opening up a
  • medicine cabinet 
  • liquor cabinet
  • mechanical room
  • jewelry box
  • safe or gun cabinet

The system can even let you know when a door has been left open for a specific amount of time…

Simple Home Automation at a Reasonable Price

Using empower by Alarm.com you can now control lighting, HVAC and your locks remotely at any time.

Install just a couple of the lighting switches and get a simple home automation system. Imagine opening up the back door and the kitchen lights turn on automatically. With empower, you can setup event-triggered scenes or just simply turn lights on/off from a remote location or on a schedule.

Using events like, the time of day,  the day of the week or the status of the system to make your system come alive on its own!

Go green and conserve energy …

By replacing your thermostat with a compatible empower thermostat you now have remote control and the ability to set schedules or create schedules using event triggered alerts. For example, have the system automatically set back the thermostat when you leave the house in the morning and automatically adjust the temperature back to the way you like it just before you get home.

Just like with the automobile industry, keys are going away…

By replacing your locks with a stylish Schlage or Kwikset compatible locking system, you can now remotely lock and unlock your doors. No more having to make and give out extra keys or wonder if a key is lost. It’s easy to add a user code to unlock the door for a house guest or just unlock the door when a visitor arrives from your mobile device.

See there when you can’t be there…

For some residential clients, being able to watch your home remotely is a necessity. Once you have installed the app on your smart phone and configured your wireless camera in your home… you’ll be able to:

  • Check up on the pets
  • Receive email alerts when a new video has been recorded
  • See who came to the front door

The system is designed to save short video clips and is designed to do this when the camera sees motion, so you are not forced to watch long video clips, only the clips that sense the movement.

Since these cameras send the information to be stored at Alarm.com’s Network Operations Center, the amount of storage is limited. It is recommended that if you need to store large amounts of video a DVR or other recording device be considered.

With alarm.com’s remote user access from the Internet, vacationing can actually become relaxing!

For most small businesses, tracking employees and inventory are not always handled as efficiently as possible. With Alarm.com’s technology,  you’ll be able to receive notifications when they open and close every day along with a weekly report sent directly to your email for record keeping. Imagine having multiple locations and wondering if the store was opened on time… never again with alarm.com

For businesses that have walk-in freezer boxes or areas that should remain closed… receive an alert when the door remains open for too long.

The system can even be programmed to arm and disarm on a set schedule so you never have to worry about a new employee entering the wrong code or forgetting to turn off the alarm when they enter.

With alarm.com’s remote user access from the Internet, vacationing can actually become relaxing!
