Alarm.com

Abstract

Alarm.com is a control and monitoring app for compatible home and business security systems. It brings alarm panels, cameras, locks, lights and other connected equipment into one mobile interface, making it suited to people who want to check or manage a property remotely rather than use each device separately.

What it controls

Depending on the equipment linked to the account, the app can arm or disarm a security system, operate smart locks and lights, and trigger groups of actions through Scenes. Home users can view live and recorded camera footage, receive alerts about arrivals or unusual activity, and communicate with visitors through a compatible doorbell camera. Some setups also allow a visitor to be granted access from the same screen.

• Remote control for security panels, locks, lights and related devices
• Live and recorded video from indoor and outdoor cameras
• Alerts for activity such as entries, exits and selected video events
• Support for connected safety equipment covering risks such as fire, carbon monoxide and water damage

For business use

Businesses with supported Alarm.com systems can manage security across multiple locations, monitor access, and receive notices about events such as a late opening or entry into a restricted area. The app can also connect access control, lighting and other automation, while alarm-event tools help users respond and contact emergency personnel when appropriate.

Things to check

This is not a standalone alarm solution. It requires a compatible Alarm.com system and an interactive Alarm.com service plan, and the available controls depend on the installed hardware and subscription. Alarm.com Mobile is listed in the Lifestyle category and has 1,000,000+ installs, a 4.19 rating from 37,456 reviews, and is published by Alarm.com Mobile.
