What Is Alarm.com?
How Does Alarm.com Work?
- Alarm.com’s cellular connection is reserved solely for the security system. It is not shared with other services, and it does not depend on your home’s networking and Wi-Fi.
- Alarm.com’s cellular connection cannot be physically cut. There is no cable. Should an intruder attack the security panel itself, Alarm.com’s patented Crash and Smash technology will still signal the monitoring station for help.
- Alarm.com’s security panels feature 24-hour battery backups, so even if a home or business loses power, the system will continue to communicate.
