Overview

• Alarm.com Smart Access Control: A cloud-hosted platform that integrates door locks, readers, and controllers with video, alarms, and automation. It allows remote management via the Alarm.com app or web portal, with features like user-specific codes, schedules, and real-time alerts. It's designed for scalability in residential, commercial, or multi-site environments.
  

• Traditional Access Control Systems: Typically hardware-centric, using physical keys, magnetic stripe cards, PIN keypads, or basic wired controllers. Management is on-site via a central panel, with limited remote capabilities and no native integration with other tech.

Alarm.com's system excels in modern scenarios where remote access and integration are key, offering superior security through proactive features like AI alerts and video verification—far beyond traditional systems' reactive approach. Traditional setups are reliable for basic needs but lack the flexibility and intelligence that reduce risks and operational costs. If you're considering an upgrade, Alarm.com's ecosystem provides a future-proof solution.

Key Comparison Table

Alarm.com's Connected Fleet is a cloud-based solution designed for businesses to monitor and manage commercial vehicles seamlessly through their Alarm.com for Business platform. It extends beyond basic GPS tracking by integrating with security, video, and automation features, providing real-time insights that enhance operational efficiency, safety, and cost control. It is particularly valuable for fleet-heavy industries like logistics, delivery, construction, and service-based operations.

1. Enhanced Efficiency and Operational Optimization Connected Fleet allows businesses to track up to 100 vehicles per account via an Enterprise Dashboard, offering a centralized view of fleet status, vehicle usage, and trip summary reports. This enables optimized routing, scheduling, and resource allocation, reducing idle time and improving overall productivity. For instance, real-time location tracking and fuel efficiency analysis help managers identify inefficiencies like unnecessary detours or excessive idling, leading to streamlined operations.

2. Improved Security and Theft Prevention The system provides proactive security through unexpected movement alerts (e.g., when a vehicle is towed or moved while parked), aggressive driving notifications, and integration with video recording rules that can trigger cameras upon detection of anomalies. Real-time tracking deters theft and enables quick recovery if incidents occur, extending Alarm.com's core security ecosystem to mobile assets. This is especially beneficial for businesses with high-value vehicles or equipment, minimizing losses and insurance claims.

3. Cost Savings and Maintenance Reduction By monitoring fuel consumption, efficiency, and vehicle diagnostics (e.g., low fuel alerts, check engine notifications, and battery health), Connected Fleet helps prevent breakdowns and roadside emergencies, reducing downtime and repair costs. Businesses can track costs more effectively, saving money on fuel and maintenance—users report lower operational expenses through data-driven insights. Proactive alerts allow for scheduled servicing instead of reactive fixes, potentially cutting fleet-related expenditures significantly.

4. Better Driver Safety and Behavior Monitoring Features like excessive speeding alerts, aggressive driver notifications (e.g., hard braking or acceleration), and driving insights promote safer habits among drivers. This not only reduces accident risks but also lowers insurance premiums through demonstrable safety improvements. Managers can use the data for training and performance reviews, fostering a culture of accountability.

5. Seamless Integration and Scalability As part of the Alarm.com ecosystem, Connected Fleet integrates with existing security systems, video surveillance, access control, and automation tools for a unified experience—all accessible via mobile app or web portal. This scalability supports fleets of any size without complex infrastructure changes, making it ideal for growing businesses. The plug-and-play Car Connector device (using LTE and GPS) ensures easy installation and reliable connectivity, even in remote areas.

Overall, Alarm.com's Connected Fleet transforms traditional vehicle tracking into a comprehensive management tool that drives measurable ROI through efficiency gains, risk reduction, and integrated intelligence. It's particularly advantageous for SMBs looking to compete with larger operations.

Yes! The Alarm.com Wellness offering has paved the way for a proactive solution for aging-in-place care and connected living. Alarm.com Wellness gives customers independence and peace of mind while also providing traditional security. Through a system of non-intrusive monitoring devices and reports, adult children and caregivers can monitor the activity of their loved ones.

The system will alert the adult children or caregivers for any anomalies or emergencies within the home. For example, if mom normally wakes up at 7 am each morning, the system would send an alert if she is still in bed at 9 am. This information allows caregivers to make more informed decisions about their loved one’s needs and level of care.

Builders can elect to activate security or automation services in homes pre-close. Compatible Alarm.com panels or hubs utilize the cellular network to communicate with Z-Wave devices, such as light switches, locks and thermostats. That means that builders do not have to wait for WiFi to be set up to take advantage of this technology.

Alarm.com enterprise service plans allow builders to manage their models or inventory spec homes from a single dashboard. This service can be used for energy-efficiency initiatives and security to prevent theft in the community before the homeowner’s move-in date.

There are two types of limits to saved video clips: online storage and monthly clip limits. If you reach your online storage limit, Alarm.com automatically deletes older clips to make room. If you get to your monthly clip limit, we’ll pause your non-alarm recording rules for the rest of the month.

To view your video usage:

• Log in to the website.

• Click “Video.”

• Click “Saved Video Clips.”

• “Monthly Clip Limit” and “Oldest Recorded Clip” are displayed at the bottom of the page.

• On either “Monthly Clip Limit” or “Oldest Recorded Clip,” click “?” for more detailed status information.

Monthly Clip Limit Versus Online Storage

• This is how many new clips your video devices can upload per month.

• This is how many previously uploaded clips the account can store online.

• Deleting clips does not affect this limit because it only deals with new uploads.

• You can delete clips to free up online storage space if desired, but it is unnecessary.

Monthly clip limit

• This is how many times a video device can upload a new clip to the website or app every month.

• If you reach an account's monthly video clip upload limit, recording rules (except for alarm-triggered recording rules) will pause. You can resume the recording rules manually at the beginning of the next month or immediately after you upgrade the account's service package with additional video clip uploads.

• Note: Recording rules (except for alarm-triggered recording rules) do not automatically resume at the beginning of the month. You must manually reactivate them.

Notifications for the monthly clip limit

• By default, the account’s primary email address will get a notification when the number of clips uploaded gets closer to the monthly clip limit.

• We send notification emails when you reach 50%, 90% and 100% of the monthly video upload.

• If an account reaches 100%, we’ll send a notification at the beginning of the next month when you can upload clips again.

• Note: If the default notification is not present, you can create a system event notification to get alerts about the monthly video upload limit.

Online storage details

• This is how many total clips you can store on the website or app at any point in time for an account.

When an account's video clip storage is full, clips continue to upload unless you reach the monthly upload limit. If you upload a video clip when your online storage is full, the system overwrites the oldest unprotected video clip to make room for the newest clip.
