▶ TYSONS, Va. - Alarm.com has unveiled its new Smart Arming
feature, which is said to intelligently auto-arm and disarm
Alarm.com powered home security systems based on user
activity. The first-to-market feature goes beyond scheduled
arming and disarming to intelligently adapt to daily routines,
according to the company.
Alarm.com says Smart Arming is quick and intuitive to set
up; users choose the time of day they typically want their
system armed at night (e.g., after 11 p.m.) and disarmed in the
morning (e.g., at 7 a.m.), and then simply go about their daily
routines. When the system detects inside activity or motion
(such as when an early riser goes downstairs ahead of schedule
at 6:15 a.m.), the system automatically disarms.
Users can also choose a window of time to auto-disarm
when activity is detected (e.g., between 5 a.m. and 12 p.m.),
without a scheduled time to disarm. This intelligent adaptability
is said to reduce the risk of false alarms and makes home
security significantly more convenient. Smart Arming is free for
