What Makes It “Smart”?
Unlike traditional alarm systems that only sound a siren or call a central station, a smart alarm system gives you real-time insight and control from your smartphone, tablet, or desktop—no matter where you are.
Features of a Smart Alarm System
Arm or Disarm Remotely
Use your mobile app security control to check your system’s status, arm it while you’re away, or disarm it for a guest—all from your phone.
Receive Instant Notifications
Get real-time alerts for door openings, motion detection, or unexpected activity, so you’re never left wondering what’s happening at home.
Create Custom Schedules and Rules
Use geo-services and time-based schedules to automate routines like locking the door at night or turning off lights when you leave for work.
Automate Smart Devices
Seamlessly integrate with lights, smart thermostats, garage doors, and keyless entry systems to make your home more secure and efficient. Want your lights to turn on when you disarm the system or your thermostat to adjust automatically when you leave? With customizable security packages, it’s all possible.
24/7 Monitoring Services
Enjoy the peace of mind that comes with professional security installation and around-the-clock monitoring from our UL-certified monitoring centers. We provide fast response to burglar alarm systems, fire alarm systems, and environmental monitoring alerts.
