Alarm.com Security Camera Solutions

When your local Alarm.com dealer assembles your new home security system, he or she can add new or existing security cameras to your setup.

What this means is that your dealer will integrate and connect your cameras to your smart security system.

Ultimately, once your system is ready to use, you will be able to view your cameras from your mobile devices – whether you’re in your office’s boardroom or you’re on vacation halfway around the world.

Viewing your surveillance cameras, though, only scratches the surface of what you can achieve with an Alarm.com system. Keep reading to find out more about some of its best features.

Video Push Notifications

Any smart security system can notify you when doors or windows are opened while alarms are active.

These alerts are sent directly to your smartphone or tablet for you to evaluate at a moment’s notice.

But with Alarm.com, you actually can view footage from your home security cameras as the alert is sent to your mobile device.

Say, for example, your front door opens at 3:30 p.m. while you are at work. Your Alarm.com system will then send you a push alert notifying you of the event.

Here’s what really makes Alarm.com stand out: When you swipe to view the push alert, you will watch your security cameras’ footage of the event. Likely, it will be video your children arriving home from school.

If someone more sinister ever attempts to enter your home, though, you’ll instantly be notified.

Live and Recorded Footage

As we mentioned above, an integrated Alarm.com security solution allows you to remotely view all of your home’s surveillance cameras.

Just open your Alarm.com app, and you’ll instantly have access to your range of security cameras.

You can view live footage in HD quality and even pan and tilt your cameras to achieve different views throughout your property.

But Alarm.com systems also feature low-bandwidth, 24/7 storage in a cloud-based, offsite-storage environment – meaning your cameras always are recording and footage is being stored securely.

Accessing previously recorded footage is simple, too. You can view it directly from your Alarm.com app.

Of course, you always can have a professional monitor your security system. But with Alarm.com, you can be proactive in keeping your family and your property secure.
