Our Customers Say

Rated 5 Stars!“I upgraded from another local provider when a quoted equipment upgrade more than doubled in price on follow up!!! When my contract was almost fulfilled, I called Alarm Engineering after seeing sooo many glowing reviews everywhere I looked. Lee Smith was excellent, no pressure but very knowledgeable and thorough. I was able to get my upgraded service, new (and additional!) equipment, all for a fraction of what “that other” company was trying to sucker me into. Installation was a breeze and I’ve not had a single problem since. Very easy to use, I love the tech features, and am really happy to make this switch. Thank you, AE!”

You might think that smart devices are the definition of a smart home. Smart devices are an important part of building a smart home, but some smart devices alone doesn't make a smart home.

Smart Devices are Only a Part of The Smart Home

You might think that smart devices are the definition of a smart home. Smart devices are an important part of building a smart home, but some smart devices alone doesn’t make a smart home.

So what makes a home smart?

The Coach

Think of your favorite sports team. Each player has important and specialized skills, but they can only win games by working together.

The foundation of a good team is the coach. Throughout the game, the coach gets information from players and assistants to understand the big picture of what’s happening on the field. With this information, he can call the plays and makes sure each player contributes.

The true smart home has such a coach: your security system. Your security system controls every device in the home. It gathers intelligence from around the home and coordinates actions to make the home safer, smarter and more efficient.

You might not see what’s happening behind the scenes, but you will definitely notice the unique features and value that only a security-controlled smart home can deliver.

Your smart home using integrated video

Video monitoring is a popular smart home security solution. Standalone smart cameras record motion-triggered clips of activity in the home and send them to the homeowner, providing valuable awareness of what’s going on.

An integrated video system can do more. The security system can tell the platform who disarmed the system or where important activity is happening, such as someone entering the back door. With this information the platform intelligently directs the camera to capture important activity and then alerts you with a video clip on your smart phone.

When the homeowner disarms the system, the camera doesn’t record. The platform enhances awareness when you’re away and privacy when you’re home.

Your smart home sensing opportunities to save energy

A standalone smart thermostat knows when you walk in front of it. But that’s not a lot of information to decide whether it should make the entire home comfortable, or set back to save energy. 

A smart home can trigger energy saving opportunities depending on where you are. For example, if you’re away the thermostat can automatically change to the ‘away’ temperature and the lights shut off if they were left on. This saves you money and time. You’re also not sacrificing comfort because when you are near home, the thermostat readjusts to a comfortable temperature, the lights come on and the door unlocks for you.

Your smart home on the lookout for water damage

Smart devices can help protect your property. For example, a water sensor can alert you that a pipe is leaking in your second home hours away.

A smart home can go further and respond proactively. When the water sensor is triggered the platform immediately commands a connected water valve in the basement to shut off the home’s water.

And that’s just the beginning. While the standalone device offers value in each case, the platform is the key to multiplying their value and solving complex, real-life challenges for homeowners.

The most obvious advantage of wireless security systems are less wire and drilling throughout your home or business, but there are many more advantages. Here are seven benefits of installing or upgrading your current system to wireless.

7 Benefits of a Wireless Security System

The most obvious advantage of wireless security systems is less wire and drilling throughout your home or business, but there are many more advantages. Here are seven benefits of installing or upgrading your current system to wireless.

Reliability

As an authorized Alarm.com dealer, our systems can use a secure cellular connection that is fast and reliable. Plus, as telephone companies continue to make changes to infrastructure, traditional landline phones lines are becoming less reliable for alarm communication.

Save Money

As traditional phone service is phased out of more of our Eastern Shore communities, traditional phone lines are increasingly expensive. Enjoy the savings of eliminating your traditional phone service without breaking the bank with our exclusive Customer Loyalty Rewards.

Exclusive “Crash & Smash” Technology

Savvy intruders will attempt to destroy your security system’s control panel to defeat the alarm. With our wireless protection, the alarm signal can still be sent to our central station, alerting us to the situation and the authorities can be dispatched.

Real-Time Notifications

Another benefit of a wireless security system is the flexibility and convenience of knowing what’s happening while you’re away. Once you have the foundation of your smart home in place, it’s easy to add to your system later. We can incorporate light, lock, appliance, thermostat, video and garage control into your smart home. Even if you’re looking to put your home on the market soon, it’s a smart move.

“We have remote controls for everything these days, so why not for your home?” our customer Donna tells us. “Control your lights, or lock and unlock your door remotely — and your thermostat! Now that’s the biggie! Just touch your phone, and you’re done! I don’t have to worry about whether I remembered to bring my keys when I left D.C, and I change the thermostat settings on my way, so it’s comfortable when I arrive.”

Create Custom User Codes with Ease

Don’t give ‘forever access’ to folks who shouldn’t be able to access your home later without your knowledge. Your wireless Alarm.com system from Alarm Engineering allows you to easily change or disable custom user codes for renters, guests, workers, property managers and more.

“A friend from South Bethany just recently shared with me that her neighbors rented their home out over the summer and that those same renters were still using the home on Thanksgiving because the renters had made themselves a key!” Our customer Paul shared. “Well, there’s no way that can happen with our home: We can just look to see if anyone has come in or even if anyone changed the thermostat settings.”

Remote system access to lights, locks, thermostats, video and garage door from your smartphone or tablet.

Integrating your security system with home automation and remote access is using the system to its fullest potential. Protect your family and investment with the security and automation experts at Alarm Engineering. We’ve been protecting Delmarva for over thirty years and were the first to bring automation to the Shore. Remember, you can save by upgrading your system with our Customer Loyalty Rewards.

“This system removed the burden and pressure of owning an investment property,” our customer Paul in Delaware offers. “Now, we’re looking forward to our first renters at Savage Pines this season!”

Big Savings with Customer Loyalty Rewards

As a valued Alarm Engineering customer, you can save big on your upgrade to a wireless security system with our Customer Loyalty Rewards, where we give you $50 in credit for each year you’re been our customer towards wireless features up to $500. This includes wireless crash and smash technology mentioned above, but also lights, locks, thermostat, appliance, video (including doorbell video), and garage door control from anywhere. Many of our customers have already upgraded for FREE!

“The service we have had with Alarm Engineering has been excellent. The updated security system has been very helpful. Now we can remotely access the house and open it up, decrease or increase the temperature, check on the water, plus many other features. The video is really impressive because we can watch real time what is happening from a remote location or in the house. The biggest asset is peace of mind.” -John M.
