Alarm.com Monitoring & Automation

One app for your alarm, access control, and smart devices — backed by 24/7 professional monitoring.

Overview

The platform that ties every system together

We build our monitored systems on the Alarm.com platform, giving you a single app to arm/disarm your alarm, manage access control credentials, and control smart devices like locks, lights, and thermostats — whether you're home or across the country.

When an alarm is triggered, signals are sent to a monitoring center that can dispatch emergency responders, so your property is covered even when no one's there to see it happen. Note: most of the camera systems we install run on their own separate platform from Alarm.com — see the cameras page for how that app works.

  • One login for alarm, access control, and smart devices
  • 24/7 monitoring center that can dispatch a response
  • Multi-site dashboards for businesses with more than one location

How Monitoring Works

From a triggered sensor to a real response

1

Event

A sensor or panic button triggers a signal.

2

Verification

Monitoring staff review the signal details to help confirm what's happening before contacting you.

3

Contact

The monitoring center reaches you and/or your designated contacts.

4

Dispatch

Emergency responders are contacted if the situation calls for it.

Smart Automation

More than an alarm — a control center for your property

Geo-fencing

Automatically arm the alarm, lock doors, or adjust the thermostat based on your phone's location leaving or approaching the property.

Smart locks & access

Lock, unlock, and issue temporary access codes remotely — useful for contractors, cleaners, or guests.

Smart lighting & thermostats

Rules-based automation — lights that turn on with motion after dark, thermostats that adjust when everyone's away.

Real-time alerts

Push notifications, texts, or emails for exactly the events you choose to be notified about — no more, no less.

Everything In One App

FAQs

Monitoring & automation questions

Compatibility depends on the specific device and brand — we'll check during your walkthrough whether your existing equipment can be brought into the platform or whether a swap makes more sense.
Yes — multiple users can be added with permission levels appropriate to their role, from full control to limited access for a single door or schedule.
Very little — arming/disarming, status checks, and notifications are all lightweight. (Camera footage runs through a separate dedicated app, which uses more data the more you stream live video.)
Yes — the platform supports multi-site dashboards, which is common for businesses with several locations under one account.
