You can have the option of remotely controlling your alarm system via their smartphone application or through their website. They have great options for people who want to not only control their alarm systems remotely but also want the ability to remotely control their Z-Wave home automation devices as well. Not only can you get remote capability but you can also receive alarm notifications sent to an email address or a phone through text or push notifications.

The DSC NEO and Qolsys IQ 4 provide the highest level of integration, meaning you get a smoother functioning service, and we as the dealer can provide you better support if need be. The DSC Power Series and the Honeywell Vista systems provide the lowest integration.

Alarm.com will then look for a disarm signal. If Alarm.com does not receive the disarm signal, it is treated just like an alarm.
