Automation Control
Lights, Locks, Thermostats
Take control of your Alarm.com compatible smart automation devices. Interact with your smart Alarm.com security system and turn on/off your lights and set smart schedules to automate the occurrence. Lock and unlock your front door, or any door you choose. Easily control your thermostat for all times of the year and more!
Video Doorbell Camera
Safe Storage
See who is at the front door with the Alarm.com WiFi video doorbell camera. Much like the commonly known Ring Video Doorbell, the Alarm.com SkyBell Video Doorbell has the same two-way voice abilities through the Alarm.com app which lets you speak to visitors at the door. Additionally, you receive tamper-resistant offsite storage, wireless communications, and cloud hosting with better reliability.
Alarm.com Places
Location-Based Alerts
This feature lets you create location-based alerts and rules based on the location of one or more phones, or "Geo-Devices". When activated, your phone will periodically report its location to Alarm.com, which will use the rules that have been set up you on the account. Automate location-based rules such as; turn my smart thermostat "On" when my phone is detected within 10 miles of my property.
Smartphone & Tablet
Remote Control
Control your whole property from a single screen. Whether you're at work, on vacation or just relaxing in front of the TV, Alarm.com's mobile app puts your properties management, access and comfort at your fingertips. Secure your property, dim the lights, view alerts, watch live video and even answer the door with just a few clicks on your mobile device or tablet.
Smart Watch
Easy To Use
The Alarm.com app for Apple Watch uses quick, light interactions to make controlling your smart property as easy as checking the time. Control your security system, locks, lights, garage door and thermostats, watch video and get alerts using just your Apple Watch. This compatibility is great for folks that like to run and without having to carry any extra weight in their pockets.
Voice Control
Audio Recognition
Don't move a muscle. Alarm.com brings the convenience of voice control to your home or business through integrations with Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Just ask, and you can arm your security system, change the temperature, turn your living room lights off or lock all the doors in your house. As long as Alexa or Google Home can hear you, you can ask it to assist you from the convenience of never leaving your couch. Finally, with the Alarm.com app, smart property automation has been made truly hands-free.
TV Monitoring
Flexible Control
View your Alarm.com live HD video streams on the biggest screen in the house with our apps for Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. When you're watching TV and the doorbell rings, or the baby starts crying, just select your Alarm.com app and see what's happening, with up to four simultaneous views in HD.
Video Surveillance
Live Video
HD quality and great low-light performance make for crystal clear video monitoring. Use your smartphone or tablet to view live streaming video of up to 40 Alarm.com security cameras.
Safe Storage
Tamper-resistant offsite storage, wireless communications, and cloud hosting provide better reliability. Record video on-site to the Stream Video Recorder and to the cloud at the same time. Cloud storage cannot be disabled or damaged if your property experiences a fire or flood.
