“Everything about our experience with Alarm Engineering has been extremely positive from the first time the Lee came out to talk with us about upgrading our system. Our initial technician Shawn was fantastic and all the other crew have been as well. They have been extremely helpful with any questions we had. Highly, definitely recommend Alarm Engineering!!”

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.
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.
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.

If you are one of the nearly 35 million Americans who currently provide unpaid care for a family member aged over 50, new smart home technology is available that can support your loved one’s independence, and also provide you priceless peace of mind – for much less than you think.
Now, smart home technology is stepping into this gap with connected living solutions designed with both the older adult AND caregiver in mind. Originally developed to alert homeowners to unwelcome activity, connected home security technology can keep both family and professional caregivers connected to aging adults and one step ahead of emerging health issues instead of reacting after an emergency has occurred.
Alarm Engineering’s Independent Living solution is powered by alarm.com, an intelligent smart home security platform trusted by millions, combines hardware and software to benefit you.
Unlike older technology which alerts caregivers only after something bad happens, we can now intelligently monitor quality of life through a suite of discreet activity sensors and smart devices installed around the home to proactively alert caregivers to potential health issues detected in real-time activity data.
A USA Today report explains: “Wellness can report about changes in activity levels, sleeping and eating patterns, bathroom visit frequency and medication adherence, as well as emergency situations like wandering out of the home or falls.”
For the older adult, Independent Living Solutions offers a full suite of smart home technology to make life safer and easier. Devices like smart thermostats and smart lighting can be automated and even voice-controlled, providing comfort and security without adding complexity. Video and smart locks enhance daytime security and make access easier for family and homecare visitors. Because this technology uses the security system as the brain, service is on hand, 24-7, to respond to an emergency signal or panic button alert from the home.
As more and more family caregivers learn about these new Independent Living Solutions, commercial care providers are also discovering the benefits. These scalable solutions can be installed throughout a residential community, enabling staff to develop personalized care plans, based on data-driven insights, that better serve residents’ needs.

Part of the integrated Smart Home is awareness that benefits you in ways you may not have considered.
You already know contact sensors work for doors and windows. You may not know that same technology can be used for so much more. Next, you and your family have patterns; times you leave for work, school and activities. Your security system is smart enough to learn what may be out of the ordinary and give you a heads up.
Let’s take a step back and talk about what contact sensors are and how they work. Contact sensors tell your security system if something is open or closed.
A single contact sensor is made of two pieces: one installed on the movable feature (like the door) and one on the stationary feature (like the door jamb). When it’s opened and the pieces move apart, the sensor signals ‘open’ to your security system.
Contact sensors were created to trigger the alarm – to sound the alarm if the ‘open’ signal is sent when the alarm is set. Contact sensors will also warn you if you try to arm the system while a contact is open or separated.
In an Alarm Engineering Smart Home, those contact sensors can serve a much greater role.
The sensor’s open or closed status can send you real-time alerts so you know when something is open or closed around your home. These are easy to customize, so you can set them up to get the exact information you want. For example, you can get an alert if a window is open when you to go bed, or if you leave home without closing the back door.
But they can do so much more.
Because contact sensors are wireless, you can put them on almost anything you want to keep tabs on. Here are some examples:
These proactive notifications take intelligent protection to the next level. If you have little ones or aging parents, Unexpected Activity notifications can help. Your security system powered by alarm.com gets to know your everyday patterns and can let you know if something out of the ordinary is happening. Here are some areas where these Unexpected Activity alert can save the day:

Are you thinking about upgrading to a Smart Home, but overwhelmed by all that’s involved? You’re not alone.
Unlike the Smart Home’s first wave of users—those uber tech-savvy ‘early adopters’—most homeowners are a little nervous about buying, installing, and configuring smart home technology without expert help. In fact, 83 percent of you would consider relying on a smart home professional.
The good news is that we were the first to bring integrated Smart Home technologies to the Shore and we’re ready to help. We can make sure you enjoy the security and convenience that an integrated smart home solution provides and frees you up to get back to the rest of your Honey Do list.
Choosing our team is a better approach to your Smart Home. We offer both full service professional installation and a hybrid DIY approach. If you are interested in DIY security, we can get you started and our team is here to help if you experience any issues with set up.
Using Smart Home technology is easy, but setting it up can be anything but. Like anything that has to be wired or fixed into your home, installing smart home devices can be a challenge. Configuring them can be even harder, especially if you buy different devices that don’t integrate easily.
Our installation professionals are experts at the electrical wiring, installation and troubleshooting required to set up integrated smart home features. In addition installing your devices physically, they’ll also quickly configure every device with Alarm.com’s smart home security platform so your experience is as seamless as possible.
Our team doesn’t leave you to go it alone once your system is installed. We’re always on hand to help if you have any questions. Because smart home technology becomes part of your home’s infrastructure once installed, that’s important.
If one of your devices doesn’t work the way it should, for example, we will work with you to troubleshoot and fix it remotely. If that’s not possible, a technician will come to your house. You won’t need to troubleshoot things yourself, and you’ll never find yourself having to uninstall an essential device—say, your thermostat, in midwinter—and ship it off to get repaired.
Alarm Engineering has been here for more than thirty years and we’ll be here when you need us. Full service means we treat our customers like neighbors, not numbers. In fact, our management team believes you should have access to a live person ready to help 24/7.
Professional security monitoring is another important component missing from stand-alone DIY smart home devices, and it’s a service that can save your life. If there’s an emergency at your home—a break-in, or a CO leak, or a fire—a security professional will respond, assess the situation, and dispatch emergency responders to help.
Choosing our team is a smarter approach to your Smart Home. We offer both full service professional installation and a hybrid DIY approach. If you are interested in DIY security, we can get you started and our team is here to help if you experience any issues with set up. Get started here.

The convenient Scenes buttons in the Alarm.com app let you control several smart home devices at once with the touch of a single button.
We’ve provided four Scenes to start with, each one tailored to make a specific moment of your day easier. They’re easy to edit and you can also create new Scenes from scratch for any situation. Here’s how.
1: Getting Started
You can create Scenes in both the desktop and mobile versions of your Alarm.com app. We’re going to use the desktop version. Log into your account, click the emPower tab, then click Scenes.
You’ll see four pre-set Scenes, which you can edit from this page.
To create a new one, click New Scene.
2: Create a button for your Scene.
Let’s create a ‘Movie’ Scene so you can get ready for movie time with one touch once the kids are in bed. Enter your Scene name and click the three-arrow icon. You’ll see a drop-down menu of icons to choose from, along with a choice of colors.
3: Specify what your Scene will control.
After creating your button, you’ll see a list of all your system devices below.
For example, you may want this Scene to set the security system to Arm Stay, with the front door locked.
If you like to stay cozy under a blanked, let’s turn the temperature down for this Scene too.
Of course the lights have to go off for the movie.
4: Use your new Scene!
Congratulations, you’ve created your first custom Scene! The next time you log into your security system app, you’ll be able to use it. Swipe left on the Scenes bar to find the new button, and tap once. On the confirmation pop-up, you can see all of the commands you specified. Tap ‘Confirm’ and you’re done!

We’ve all wished for that one ‘magic’ button that took care of things around the house to save time. Well, that button is here.

Want a button for one of your other frequent patterns? It’s easy to build your own scenes with commands for your security system, locks, garage door, smart lights, smart thermostats and even your smart water valve.
Just pick a name for your new scene—Dinner, Movie Night, or Kids Bedtime and more. Log into your account and select the devices and what you want them to do. Then, it will appear at the top of your app, ready to use. If you need help creating your new Scene, click here.
