SYSTEM COMPONENTS
What's in a Commercial Alarm System
Every business has a different layout, schedule, and set of risks. We design each alarm system around your building, so coverage matches how your team actually works.
Control Panel & Keypads
The brain of the system. Keypads, key fobs, and swipe-to-disarm options give each employee their own code and level of access.
Door & Window Sensors
Contacts on entry points signal the moment a door or window opens while the system is armed.
Motion & Glass-Break Detection
Interior motion detectors and glass-break sensors cover open floors, stockrooms, and storefront glass.
Sirens & Panic Buttons
Loud on-site sirens and panic buttons deter intruders and summon help, while a cellular communicator sends signals without relying on your phone line or internet.
THE ALARM.COM PLATFORM
Verify, Control, and Respond
Video-Verified Alarms
Alarm.com can attach video clips to alarm events, so you can see what set the alarm off and decide how to respond. Seeing the event helps cut down on false alarms.
Remote Control & Reporting
Arm and disarm the system, add or expire user codes, and review activity from the app or an enterprise dashboard, at one location or across many.

ONE UNIFIED SYSTEM
Alarms, Cameras, and Access Control in One System

FAQ
Common Questions
Your system sends a signal to the central monitoring station. A call typically comes through in less than 30 seconds.
No. The central monitoring station handles monitoring. You interact with your system through the Alarm.com app to control the alarm and manage connected devices such as lights, garage doors, and cameras.
Professional alarm companies use a third-party central monitoring station so alarm events are responded to quickly and consistently.
An alarm system detects a break-in or emergency through sensors and signals it with sirens and alerts. Cameras record and show what is happening. Together they are stronger, because video can verify an alarm so you know what set it off before you respond. We install both and connect them on one platform.
Yes. With Alarm.com, video from your cameras can be included in the monitoring process. When an alarm is triggered, the central monitoring station can review the associated video and respond accordingly.

Commercial alarm panels include battery backup, and a cellular communicator sends signals without relying on your internet or phone line, so protection continues through most outages.
