You may know that a smart security system gives you a safer, more secure home. You're aware that our smartphone app keeps you in control, in the know, and one step ahead of unusual activity.
But did you know just how helpful an Alarm.com-powered home can be?
Just take Places (Geo-Services). It's an opt-in Alarm.com feature that does helpful things around your house when you're leaving home or on your way back.
It uses your smartphone's location on a digital map to understand where you are, and which direction you're headed. With a few simple Places (Geo-Services) rules set up in your Alarm.com dashboard, several things become easier.
1: Forgot to lock up? No problem.
Do you ever get that sudden suspicion—typically when you're 15 miles from home—that you left the garage open? Places (Geo-Services) is here to help.
Live safe. Live well.
Experience total protection with customized, professionally installed security and a home that works intuitively to keep you safe.
2: Save energy when you leave the house
An effective way to lower your energy bill is to turn off the lights when your house is empty. But when you're late for work or excited for a road trip, it's easy to forget.
A Places (Geo-Services) rule will take care of this forever. When Alarm.com sees that you're leaving (and that no one else is home), your lights will turn off —until you …
3: Come home to a warm welcome
On your way back home, Places (Geo-Services) works in reverse, ensuring that things are comfortable when you get there. Places (Geo-Services) can turn on your smart lights as you arrive home. All you need to do now is open your Alarm.com app and let yourself in.
4: Pause your security cameras when you don't need them
When no one's home, you want to see the activity that your smart security cameras capture. When you're there, however, you don't need a video alert every time the kids run through the house.
Places (Geo-Services) lets you automatically pause any, or all, of your cameras' recording schedules when you're home. It's an easy way to conserve video clips and eliminate alerts that you don't need.
5: Customise your rules with multiple geo-fences
With Alarm.com, it's easy to set up more than one geo-fence. For your ‘coming home' rules, try creating a geo-fence to arm your business, with a geo-fence to turn on your lights at home. Once your fences are set up, you can use them for other rules, and customise them until they're perfect.
