The Power of Integration
One platform that brings everything together
Most businesses cobble together separate systems for security, cameras, access control, and energy management—each with its own app, login, and learning curve. Alarm.com unifies everything into a single platform where your systems work together intelligently.
Alarm + Video verification
When an alarm triggers, cameras automatically capture clips. Monitoring operators see exactly what happened, reducing false alarm fines and ensuring faster police response for real threats.
Access + Alarm automation
When authorized users unlock a door, the alarm automatically disarms. When the last person leaves and locks up, the system arms itself. No forgotten codes, no false alarms.
Video + Access correlation
See who unlocked a door by jumping from any access event directly to the matching video clip. Investigate incidents in seconds instead of scrubbing through hours of footage.
Energy + Security schedules
When the alarm arms at closing time, thermostats automatically switch to energy-saving mode. Disarm in the morning and the space pre-conditions before employees arrive.
Geo-services + Automation
Your phone knows when you arrive or leave. The system can unlock doors, adjust climate, and remind you to arm—all based on who's actually at the location.
Multi-location dashboard
One view shows the status of every location—armed, disarmed, cameras online, doors locked, temperatures normal. Spot problems across your entire portfolio instantly.
Automate Daily Operations
Let the system handle the routine
Every business has opening and closing procedures—tasks that need to happen consistently but are easy to forget. Alarm.com scenes turn multi-step routines into one-tap automations or fully automatic triggers.
Morning opening
When the first employee enters their code or unlocks with their phone:
- Security system disarms automatically
- Interior lights turn on
- Thermostat switches to occupied mode
- Manager receives "store opened" notification
Evening closing
When the last employee arms the system at end of day:
- All doors lock automatically
- Lights turn off (security lighting stays on)
- Thermostat enters energy-saving setback
- System verifies all entry points are secured
Schedule-based
Arm at 10pm every night regardless of who's there. Unlock doors at 7am on weekdays only.
Event-triggered
When motion is detected after hours, turn on lights and start recording. When door is forced, trigger all cameras.
Location-aware
When all authorized phones leave the geofence, remind to arm—or arm automatically after 15 minutes.
Always On, Always Informed
Real-time visibility into every location
Stop wondering what's happening at your business. Alarm.com keeps you informed with instant alerts, detailed activity logs, and scheduled reports—so you always know what's going on without having to check.
Instant alerts
Push notifications the moment something happens—alarms, access events, temperature warnings, video motion.
Activity reports
Daily, weekly, or monthly summaries of open/close times, user activity, and compliance with schedules.
Business Insights
Visual analytics across locations. Spot trends, compare performance, identify outliers before they become problems.
Complete history
Every event is logged with timestamps. Review who did what, when, and from where—for any device, any location.
Built for Business Realities
Practical features for everyday operations
User management at scale
Add or remove employees in seconds from the app. Set permissions by role—managers get full control, staff get limited access. No waiting for a technician to reprogram the panel.
Scheduled access windows
Give vendors or cleaners codes that only work during specific hours. The cleaning crew's code works Tuesday evenings; the delivery driver's code works weekday mornings only.
Forgotten-to-arm alerts
If a location is still disarmed past closing time, get notified immediately. Arm remotely from your phone without driving back. Never leave your business unprotected overnight.
Easy clip sharing
Share video clips via email or text as easily as sharing a photo. Send incident footage to police, insurance adjusters, or your team without downloading or converting files.
Environmental protection
Water leak sensors, temperature monitors, and freeze alerts protect against costly damage. Get notified when the walk-in cooler fails at 2am—before you lose thousands in inventory.
Full mobile control
Arm, disarm, view cameras, unlock doors, adjust thermostats—all from your phone. Manage your business from anywhere, whether you're at home, traveling, or at another location.
