Service Feature's:
✓ DIY Self-Dispatch Alarm Monitoring.
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) alarm monitoring is when the end-user monitors the security system all by themselves. Instead of relying on a professional security company to monitor the system, you would do it yourself. Using the Alarm.com mobile app or desktop login, the end-user would be responsible for responding to any alarm inititiating event. DIY alarm monitoring is a cost-effective solution for those who prefer to have direct control over their security measures.✓ Dual-Path Communication.
Instead of using a landline, dual-path communications provides two independent communication paths between your Alarm.com security system and the GeoArm central monitoring station. In this setup, if one communication path fails, the system can switch over to a backup path to ensure that the alarm signal is still transmitted to the monitoring center. This improves the reliability and security of the alarm system by reducing the risk of false alarms or missed alarm signals. The two communication paths are usually provided by two different channels, such as a cellular network and a broadband internet or wifi connection. This technology is more secure and reliable than older methods and ensures that alarms are received by the monitoring center even if the phone lines or internet connection is down.✓ Alarm Communicator Supervision.
Monitor panel connectivity with 6-hour signal supervision included between the control panel and Alarm.com to know when a panel is not responding. You may upgrade to 1-hour signal supervision for more frequent connectivity check ins.✓ Control Panel Protection.
An Alarm.com exclusive and patented technology (also known as "Crash and Smash"), that enables alarm signal transmission to the central station even if the security system is destroyed or disabled by an intruder. This happens during either the dialer delay period, entry delay or alarm dialing process.✓ Images - Alarms.
An Alarm.com security solution that uses an image sensor to capture still images when a security alarm is triggered. The images are sent to the Alarm.com platform where they can be reviewed by the property owner. This service provides an additional layer of security by allowing property owners to visually confirm an alarm event and take appropriate action. Capture and upload up to a total of 50 motion-activated images per Alarm event, across all image-capturing devices (including panel cameras and image sensors), for up to 10 alarm events per month.✓ Image - Plus (on Alarms/Disarms and Peek-Ins).
A more advanced Alarm.com security solution that includes an image sensor and a camera that can capture both still images and video footage when a security system is armed or disarmed. With this solution, homeowners can remotely view the captured footage to verify if an alarm is real, as well as keep an eye on their property when they are away. Additionally, the service includes on-demand video peek ins - which allow users to view real-time video footage of their property and control their cameras remotely. This can provide users with greater peace of mind and security, particularly when combined with other alarm monitoring features. This plan includes 400 uploads per month, with a maximum of 40 uploads per month over a cellular network connection. Alarm-triggered uploads count toward this limit, but are not subject to it. Available as an add-on to the Images Plus plan. Allows additional images to be uploaded per month. Can be purchased in increments of 200 (180 broadband uploads and 20 broadband/cell uploads) up to a maximum of 2,400 total uploads (total of 2,000 additional uploads).✓ Event History Activity.
Alarm.com event history activity is a log of activities or events that occur in your home that are monitored by your security system. The event history activity provides sixty (60) days of detailed records for all the activities detected by your sensors, including alarm events, arming and disarming events, and other system activities. This information can be viewed through the Alarm.com app or website, and can help you stay informed about what is happening at your property, even when you are not there.✓ Facial Recognition (on Select Control Panels).
The Alarm.com facial recognition software for select alarm control panels allows your security system to identify people who enter your home through a connected camera. It uses advanced algorithms to analyze faces and can differentiate between people you know and strangers.

This technology adds an extra layer of convenience and security to your home automation system.✓ Alarm.com Places.

Pretty straight forward install. Had a bit of trouble with one of the remote keypads but I reset it and installed fine the second time. Only complaint is the keypad lights up at times like it?s doing something then turns off again when I look at the history I don?t see anything, Annoying at night when I?m sleeping. I?m waiting to see if it goes away once we are connect to the monitoring station and maybe some sort of update is done.
