How to Set Up Push Notifications with Alarm.com

Your smart home security system can alert you to all kinds of activity. You can get an alert if you leave home without arming your system. You can get an alert if there’s unexpected activity in the house, or if your dog walker doesn’t show up, or even if there’s a power outage when you’re away.

Setting up Alarm.com alerts is easy—but first, you need to enable your Push Notifications.

Here’s a quick video on how to do it with your Alarm.com app. You’ll find web dashboard instructions further down.
