Why are service providers the only way to get Alarm.com?
It's because home security is a job for professionals.
Smart technology is essential, but it's not the whole picture. Your security system should be customized for your home, and installed reliably. It needs to be configured and tested, then supported and serviced over the long term, so that when you need it, it works.
Our service providers do all of this for you, quickly and efficiently. They also provide professional security monitoring with every system, giving you true emergency protection.
What if I want to install my own smart home security system?
You can. Several of our service provider partners specialize in self-installed smart home security systems. They'll configure and test your system before shipping it to you, ensuring an easier DIY installation. You'll still enjoy dedicated customer support and the assurance of professional monitoring.
How much does Alarm.com cost?
The cost of your system is determined by your service provider, who can give you a quote based on the size of your home and the scope of the system you want, among other factors.
Typically, systems are sold with a low upfront cost, then a monthly service fee. It's similar to paying for a cellphone, and gives you a huge advantage when upgrading your home.
Want to include other smart home devices, like smart locks, video cameras and an Energy Star certified smart thermostat? Our service providers carry a huge range of fully-integrated smart devices. They'll factor your extra devices into the price and install them at the same time.
With everything working together, and no need to spend thousands of dollars upfront, it's the easy way to upgrade your house with smart home technology.
Can I add Alarm.com to my old security system?
Alarm.com is compatible with leading home security hardware brands including DSC, GE Security, Interlogix, Qolsys and 2GIG. Many older systems can also be upgraded. Your service provider can assess your home's existing equipment and help you identify the best way forward.
