How a Smart Security System Reduces Stress and Increases Protection
Experiencing Effortless Protection and Ease with Alarm.com
Home security systems have come a long way since the blaring alarms triggered by a passing raccoon woke the neighbors and sent a false alarm to the police. Today, these systems are smart, learning as they watch over your family and integrate with the many systems that make up your home security.
Smart door locks, lighting, sensors, and cameras work together to provide seamless protection. When a camera notices an unusual event, it locks the doors, illuminates specific lights, and sends an alert to your smartphone. Always in the know, you feel an increasing sense of safety, whether at home or halfway across the world.
At SB Comm, every client is guaranteed peace of mind with our ESP plan built into their monthly service. We provide after-hours support and proactive system monitoring, addressing issues before they grow. For security, we partner with Alarm.com, the gold standard in smart home safety. Here, we’ll explore what makes them an industry leader.

Intelligent Security
Alarm.com’s security system is intelligent, anticipating needs and providing proactive protection. AI-powered monitoring filters out false alarms, detects unusual activity, and provides proactive protection even during outages, giving homeowners true peace of mind.
Advanced computer vision enables AI Deterrence, a feature that identifies potential intruders and uses the security camera’s speakers to deliver AI-generated verbal warnings. Through AI recognition, it provides unique warnings, such as stating what the person is wearing or where they are standing. It also learns the difference between normal and unusual activities and sends “Unexpected Activity Alerts” directly to your smartphone.
Relieving Stress Through Automated Scenes
One of the unexpected features Alarm.com offers is automated scenes, or smart routines, that handle the morning rush and nightly wind-down so homeowners can focus on living rather than managing. From locking doors to lowering shades and adjusting the thermostat to eco mode, your home takes care of the details so you can rush off to work and sleep at night, knowing it is secure.
These scenes can also simplify tasks when you’re home. Press the “Dinner” button and the lighting and climate create the ideal ambiance while the doors lock to ensure your privacy.
No more juggling multiple apps or adjusting one connected device at a time. Instead, scenes offer effortless one-touch living.
These integrated systems also provide comfort that adapts automatically, managing the lighting, climate, and shades with no effort on your part. When the shades rise to let in diffuse morning light, the lights dim and the thermostat lowers. This capability enhances energy efficiency while creating a calm and balanced home environment.
Seamless Control from Anywhere
The unified Alarm.com App lets you manage and protect your home from the palm of your hand. No matter where you are in the world, you can lock and unlock your doors, activate or disarm your security system, and even manage your lights and temperature. Front door, outdoor, and indoor video feeds let you stay in touch and stay informed about what’s happening when you’re away.
You’ll receive a notification when someone enters your property. If it’s a delivery driver, you can unlock the front or garage door and ask them via two-way audio to place the packages inside, keeping them safe until you return home. If a guest unexpectedly arrives early, you can let them in and adjust the lighting and climate.
Wellness Meets Safety: Beyond Intrusion Alerts
Alarm.com monitors for water leaks, fire, and even family well-being—supporting aging-in-place and family safety with quiet, reliable intelligence. If it detects a leak in the basement, it shuts off the main water valve to prevent further damage. If it detects smoke, it shuts down the HVAC system to stop the smoke from spreading throughout the home and feeding oxygen to the fire.
The system also uses sensors to track movement and patterns. If an anomaly occurs, such as getting out of bed at odd times or extended inactivity, you and the family member’s caregivers receive real-time notifications.
Monitored Security
Not only do you receive instant alerts when a stranger is spotted on your property or a door or window is opened, but a professional monitoring team also knows when potential trouble arises. No matter where you are or what you’re doing, you remain confident that a trained professional will assess any security issues and provide the appropriate response, such as dispatching emergency first responders.
At SB Comm, we design and install custom smart home security systems tailored to your lifestyle and property. From security cameras to access control, lighting, shades, and climate, you manage it all from one user-friendly mobile app or voice assistant.
