Protection That Never Falters
Many DIY Wi-Fi cameras and sensors become useless when power or internet service goes out. Alarm.com includes backup cellular protection to keep you connected even if phone lines or Wi-Fi go down in your Bethesda neighborhood.
Professionals Have Your Back
During an emergency, it can be hard to know how to proceed among all the chaos. Along with sending you a notification, Alarm.com sends signals to a 24/7 monitoring station. Professionals work with you and the authorities to coordinate a response.
Monitor for Internal Threats
Break-ins aren’t the only thing putting your family at risk. Alarm.com systems include environmental sensors to monitor for fire and gas leaks. Receive a notification when sensors are triggered with information on exactly where the issue is.
Alarm.com Lends a Helping Hand
Along with being there for you during emergencies, Alarm.com also helps ease your daily routine. Take advantage of automated schedules and remote access to make it easier to manage lights, alarms, and locks in your Bethesda, MD, home. Below are some great ways that our Alarm.com systems help you get through the day.
Scenes Attuned to Your Needs
Get technology and security off your mind entirely with scheduled scenes that handle everything for you, such as “Morning” and “Night” scenes. Leave the house without looking back with an “Away” scene that turns off all the lights, closes the shades, and arms your security.
Connect to Home from Anywhere
Alarm.com offers remote access from anywhere in the world. Pull out your app to remotely unlock gates and doors to let in a dogwalker, use an intercom to remind kids to do their homework after school, and lock the door after them once they’re inside.
Did You Forget to Lock the Door?
There’s no need to circle back halfway to work because you’re worried about forgetting something. See the status of your thermostat, locks, and alarm in your app, and make changes as needed from the car, at work, or even on the couch.
Tamper-Proof Security Systems
Alarm.com sensors, cameras, and door locks are built to counter “crash and smash” methods. If any components suddenly go offline, the system won’t disarm. Instead, your dedicated monitoring station gets notified of a potential break-in and responds as needed.
Avoid Costly False Alarms
Cameras with motion sensors are a drag if not installed properly. You don’t want to get a notification just because a squirrel ran through the backyard. With too many false alarms, it’s easy to get complacent and not respond to real threats.
With Alarm.com’s analytics, you don’t get notified for any movement. You set the priorities that matter to you (when someone approaches the front door and lingers by it), so you only get messages truly relevant to your home security.
Wired & Wireless Security Systems
Alarm.com security systems work with dozens of third-party brands, letting you choose from a wide range of Wi-Fi or PoE cameras for your system. As Alarm.com dealers with decades of experience, we’ll advise you on the options that will deliver the most robust coverage.
Bridge Indoor and Outdoor Coverage
Alarm.com integrates indoor and outdoor cameras into one app, so you can easily keep an eye on the action from the patio to the living room.
No More Leaving a Key Under the Doormat
If you need to let in guests, contractors, or caregivers when you’re away, you can now do so with a single button-press on your Alarm.com app.
Communicate With Anyone At the Door
Get a notification when someone approaches your front door and use 2-way communication to vet them before letting them into your home.
Find the Footage You Need in Seconds
Do you need to find footage of a break-in to share with authorities? Or do you want to pull up video of your baby’s first steps from earlier that week? Alarm.com’s Smart View makes it easy to find what you need.
Easily Verify Your Home Status
From your Alarm.com home screen, you get an overview of your rooms and connected devices to see what lights are on, which doors are unlocked, and if your alarm is activated.
Smart Home Control
Your Alarm.com installation goes beyond the standard alarms and cameras. It’s a full smart home ecosystem that lets you control lights, motorized shades, AV, and climate from one easy-to-use interface. Go beyond protection to enhance your home’s comfort and efficiency.
Door & Garage Locks
The first priority of any security system is to secure your home’s primary entry points. Alarm.com smart door and garage locks help fortify your space. Get the ability to open and close remotely, give temporary access to contractors, and check in on their status at any time.
Access on Your Command: With one tap, you can unlock doors and disarm the systems no matter where you are.
Always in the Loop: Be notified when your kids get home from school, when a dog walker doesn’t arrive by a given hour, or when a door is unlocked.
Upgrade Your Lock and Key: Provide access codes to let people in during specific dates and times without putting your Bethesda, MD, home at risk.
Program your Alarm.com system to notify you if the garage door is left open for more than 10 minutes, or to automatically close it in those situations.
Eliminate some of the morning chaos with a scheduled scene that locks doors, closes the garage, and activates your security system at a given time each morning.
Use your video doorbells or intercoms to monitor and communicate with anyone who comes to your front door, no matter where you are.
Climate Control
Our Alarm.com systems help you stay comfortable in the blistering summers and freezing winters. Schedule the thermostat to adjust based on common use to cut costs, prepare the home before you arrive, and get alerts if there are big shifts in indoor temperatures.
Remote & Voice Control: Change temperatures remotely from the app or use voice commands at home to make changes as needed without having to get off the couch.
Honed-In to your Needs: Thermostats learn your routines to keep you comfortable while not wasting energy in unused rooms.
Eco-Conscious HVAC: Create eco-modes that go into effect when you’re out of the house or in rooms that are not used often.
Schedule your AC or heat to kick on an hour before you get home from work. By the time you make it back, the room is ready at the ideal temperature for you and the family to unwind.
Under-informed thermostats only measure the temperature in the rooms they occupy. Alarm.com temperature sensors allow you to monitor additional areas of your home and create a balanced, zoned climate.
Decrease your annual utility costs by addressing the primary sources of energy waste in your home. Deploying an Alarm.com ENERGY STAR thermostat allows you to reduce heating and cooling consumption by up to 23% in the winter and 16% during the summer months.
Defend Your Property Against Water Damage
It only takes a few minutes for a hidden leak to compromise your home's structure and cause thousands of dollars in damage. An Alarm.com system monitors your property around the clock, taking care of the small details so you can live comfortably without constant worry.
Vulnerable areas like laundry rooms, bathrooms, and the spaces under your sinks are often the first places where moisture accumulates. If the system detects excess water, you receive an immediate notification on your phone and can shut off the main water valve with a single tap.
Hidden issues like running toilets or sudden usage spikes often go unnoticed until you receive a high utility bill. A Smart Water Valve+Meter tracks these patterns and alerts you to any unusual activity within your household.
Standard plumbing offers no way to react when you are away from the house or sleeping. Alarm.com's water valve monitors identify a leak the moment it starts and send an alert for further assessment. Even if you aren't there to answer the notification, the Smart Water Valve+Meter will automatically shut off the water to prevent a catastrophe.
When temperatures drop, pipes in unheated areas like basements are at high risk of bursting. These smart valves include built-in temperature monitoring to notify you if a room becomes dangerously cold. This early warning gives you the time needed to add heat to the space and prevent a freeze before the flooding begins.
Automated Lighting and Motorized Shading
Managing your environment shouldn’t require a cluttered folder of different apps for lights and shades. Alarm.com integrates every device into one platform to handle the small details for you.
One-Touch Control: Manage a specific lamp or every fixture in the building through the Alarm.com interface or a quick voice command.
Simplify Daily Routines: Program your lights to react automatically when you pull into the driveway, arm the security system, or head upstairs.
Bolster Home Security: Use automated lighting as a digital guard to discourage intruders by making the property look occupied while you’re away.
At the end of a long day, you can trigger a custom “Sleep” scene to settle the house. Instantly, the lights turn off, the front door locks, the thermostat drops, and the shades lower to take the mental load off your nighttime routine.
You never have to navigate a dark walkway or search for your keys in a pitch-black entryway. Your system uses geo-fencing to identify your location and activates both indoor and outdoor lights as your vehicle approaches the house.
Your outdoor lighting shouldn’t be a nuisance that responds to every neighborhood animal or falling branch. Alarm.com uses video analytics to distinguish between people and small critters, so lights only activate when there is a meaningful reason.
Intelligent Fire and Carbon Monoxide Detection
Smarter sensors create safer environments for your family. Professional monitoring and instant mobile alerts ensure you stay ahead of dangerous smoke or gas leaks before they escalate.
Professional Monitoring: Your dispatch service contacts emergency responders to send help and respond quickly in case of an emergency.
Stay Informed: The Alarm.com interface identifies exactly where the danger is located, allowing you to pivot your exit strategy based on real-time data.
False Alarm Prevention: If you accidentally trigger a sensor while cooking, use the Smart Signal feature to cancel the alert and prevent an unnecessary fire department visit.
Stop smoke and carbon monoxide from moving through your vents during a crisis. Alarm.com automatically shuts down your HVAC fans the moment an alarm is triggered to keep the system from circulating dangerous air into every room.
Uncertainty regarding the source of a fire can often stall your insurance claims for weeks. Your cameras automatically record and save video clips during an emergency event for clear evidence needed for investigators to settle your claim quickly.
Complete Control from Any Device
Whether you’re sitting at your desk or checking your phone on the go, you have total authority over every connected reader, device, and user. You don’t need to be physically on-site to stay in the loop, as the system puts the power to manage your property’s security right in the palm of your hand.
Mobile Credentials
Reducing overhead is easier when you replace physical keys, badges, or fobs with smartphone credentials. Your team can unlock doors with a quick swipe of their phone, which cuts down on daily friction and keeps everyone moving. If some staff members are more comfortable sticking with traditional cards or fobs, those still work perfectly within the same system.
A Single Hub for Every Entry Point
Managing who comes and goes shouldn't be a complicated process that eats up your afternoon. The Alarm.com dashboard lets you add or remove users in seconds, whether you’re updating one person or bulk-uploading a hundred new hires at once. You can even schedule credentials to deactivate automatically on a specific date, giving you one less thing to track in real time.
Remotely Manage Entry to Your Business
Managing your property shouldn't require you to be physically present just to let someone in. You can lock, unlock, or open doors from anywhere using the Alarm.com app or website. This gives you the power to grant or revoke access permissions on the fly, making sure your building stays secure while getting the right people through the door without a hassle.
Custom Automation and Real-Time Alerts
Keeping your security tight shouldn't result in a constant stream of false alarms. You can set up automation rules that work with your team's schedule, like disarming the system the moment the first employee badges in for the day. You can even set a "double-tap" rule to arm everything when the last person leaves and get a notification if specific doors are accessed after hours.
Sync Your Entry Points with Video Surveillance
There’s no need to spend your afternoon digging through hours of footage just to see who walked through the front door. Your system links every access event directly to a video clip, so you can jump to the exact moment a door opened with a single tap. If someone rings your video doorbell, you can see exactly who it is and unlock the door for them right from the call screen. It’s a simple way to keep your property secure without making it a chore to manage.
