Smart Arming Named a CES® 2023 Innovation Awards Honoree

Smart Arming Now Available

If you sometimes (or often!) forget to arm or disarm your security system, this is the feature for you. Alarm.com has unveiled Smart Arming, which goes beyond scheduled arming and disarming to adapt to your daily routines and take another thing off your to-do list.

Setup is Quick and Easy

Smart Arming is quick and easy to set up. Simply select the Clock icon in your app and choose the time of day you typically want your system armed at night (say, after 10pm) and disarmed in the morning (say, 7am), and then go about your daily routine. When your system detects inside activity or motion, like an early riser going downstairs at 6:15 am, the system automatically disarms.

You can also select a window of time to auto-disarm when activity is detected, without a scheduled time to disarm. This intelligent adaptability drastically reduces the risk of false alarms and makes home security even more convenient. 

How Much?

Smart Arming is free for all customers who enjoy Alarm.com features and is available now from your app.

Upgrade Now

If you aren’t enjoying the smarter home security features of Alarm.com, cash in your Customer Loyalty Dollars to save on upgrading your system now.

Smarter Security Cancel Verify Alarm App

Cancel and Verify Alarms…Right from your App

Smart Signal enhances your system’s professional monitoring with a set of clear, simple emergency buttons in your Alarm Engineering app powered by alarm.com.

These Buttons Let You:

  • Quickly verify an alarm at your property to expedite emergency response,
  • Cancel a false alarm easily, or
  • Send a panic signal from your home or business if you discover an emergency yourself.

Why Cancel/Verify?

False alarms are a common concern and accidental dispatches ties up important resources, potentially distracting from real emergencies. Now with the press of a button and without needing to wait for a call from our central monitoring station, an entire situation can be resolved saving headaches, time and money.

Are These Buttons Always Visible?

Alarm events and emergencies are stressful. These features were designed to be easily accessible while also safeguarding against accidental alarm events. For this reason, Cancel and Verify buttons only appear in the app during alarm events. To confirm or verify the alarm, just press and hold the relevant button for three seconds.

Act Quickly

Since we pride ourselves on dispatching the authorities to you quickly, you’ll need to cancel any false alarms almost immediately to stop the process. For this reason, the Cancel/Verify buttons in your app are only available for two minutes. If you aren’t sure whether an alarm signal has been triggered or whether you correctly declared a false alarm, we can always help at 410-546-2210.

Are Alarm signals Held until a Cancel/Verify Button is Pressed?

NO! All alarm signals still send as they always have.

Available Now

This new feature is in your app now at no additional cost to you.

Anywhere access is easy and affordable with our Customer Loyalty Rewards upgrade. See and control your security system, cameras, garage door, HVAC system, lights, locks and more…right from your smartphone and tablet. Get started now and save up to $500 on your Smart Home upgrade.
