Searchable 60-Day Event History – Search a 60-day history of events reported by the system, including alarms and other activity, via web or mobile apps. Customize the time frame of the search, and filter by device or event type. Download results as HTML or Excel files.
Multiple Permission-Based Web Logins – Create different sub-users for the account and grant varying levels of permissions for each user to view/change various settings in the Alarm.com web interface.
Multiple Partition Support – For compatible GE Concord/NX panels with multiple partitions, you can arm or disarm individual partitions via the web, add and assign new user codes to a specific set of partitions, see which sensors are in which partition, and filter the online event history by partition. Customers with a commercial service plan can also set up unique arming supervision schedules for each partition.
Alarms – Receive e-mail/text notifications for any type of alarm reported by the system. Using the web interface, customize which types of alarms result in notifications and also details such as time and date.
Arming/Disarming – Receive e-mail/text notifications when the system is armed or disarmed. For armings/disarmings performed at the panel, the event notification includes the person’s name whose user code was entered at the panel. For armings or disarmings performed using a keychain remote, the notification indicates which remote was used.
Customized E-mail/Text Notifications
System Events – Receive e-mail/text notifications for power failures, sensor tampers/malfunctions, panel low battery and other kinds of system events.
No-Show Alerts **NEW** – Receive e-mail/text message notifications if a certain person did not disarm their security system at a certain date/time.
Arming Reminders – Receive e-mail/text notifications if the system has not been armed by a particular time on a given day.
24×7 Sensor Activity – Receive e-mail/text notifications for non-alarm activity reported by door, window, cabinet, motion, and other sensors when the system is disarmed. The Alarm.com module reports all sensor and system activity 24/7 to Alarm.com, and Alarm.com sends alerts to selected recipients from the user’s address book if it detects user-defined activity. Users can specify times during which sensor activity should result in a notification (e.g.: receive alert if front door is opened between 9-5/M-F).
Sensor-Left-Open – Receive e-mail/text message if a particular door, cabinet, or window sensor is left open for an extended period during specified time frames (e.g.: receive an alert if the garage door is left open for more than 2 hours between 9-5/M-F).
Commercial Features
Weekly/Daily E-mail Reports (Arming/Disarming) – Receive a weekly or daily report summarizing all system armings/disarmings that occurred during a specific time frame.
Weekly/Daily E-mail Reports (Normal Activity) – Receive a weekly or daily report of “normal” (non-alarm) activity such as door openings/closings or motion sensor activations reported by the system.
Arming Supervision – Receive e-mail/text notifications if the system has not been armed or disarmed by a particular time each day.
Auto Re-Arming Schedules – Create automated schedules so that if the system is not armed at any time between the start and the end of the schedule, it will automatically re-arm after a specific period of inactivity.
Automated Arming Schedules – Create automated arming schedules so that the system arms/disarms itself at certain times each day.
Enterprise Security Console – Commercial customers with more than one Alarm.com-enabled system can log into a single web interface to view system status and recent activity on all systems.
emPower™ Home Automation
emPower Lights – Send commands to turn lights on/off via web or mobile apps. Create automated light schedules to have specific lights come on at certain times for specified lengths of time.

Create event-triggered light rules based on arming sensor and alarm activity.
emPower Thermostats – Remotely control thermostat(s) via web or mobile apps, and easily create custom schedules to set thermostats based on time of day, day of week and security system arming state. Receive real-time e-mail/text notifications when a thermostat setting is changed or the temperature goes out of range. Using triggers like the time of day, day of week and security system status, thermostats become smarter and properties run more efficiently.
