Getting Creative with Alarm.com

Butler Durrell is thrilled to offer Alarm.com in conjunction with our monthly monitoring services. This lets us turn ordinary dwellings into “smart-homes” with amazing state-of-the-art features that users can control from a smartphone or tablet. These features include turning on/off lights, locking/unlocking doors, opening/closing the garage door, controlling the thermostat, and arming or disarming the security system. The system is open ended and the possibilities are endless, because it can be hooked up to just about any appliance you want. Below is a video playlist from Alarm.com that shows how some of their employees are getting creative with their use of Alarm.com.

Creative Uses for Alarm.com

Whether you want an easier way to turn on Christmas lights, feed a pet, stop a candy bandit, catch some flying squirrels, or you just want to keep an eye on your adorable hedgehog, Alarm.com can make it happen. Check out the Alarm.com blog for more information and lots of other potential uses for your Alarm.com system.

A Must for Modern Parenting

featureSub1Parents love Alarm.com, because it gives them the ability to check in on children and help keep them safe. Parents say they enjoy the freedom of being able to put the baby to sleep and go work in the garden or enjoy a glass of wine with the neighbors while keeping an eye on the child from a live video stream on a smartphone or iPad at all times. “If I need to check in, I’m only a few steps away,” said one relieved parent. “Until they come out with robo-nannies, it’s the best baby monitoring system out there!”

As your children get older, they may come home from school and be all alone at times. Alarm.com lets parents check in through live video to make sure the child arrives safely, then they can lock the doors behind them and re-arm the security system, so they stay safe. When those wild teenage years finally arrive, Alarm.com will help you to make sure your house doesn’t get trashed by a crazy high school party or become the target of underage drinking while you’re away or on vacation.
