ALARM.COM SECURITY SYSTEM SUPPORT
Alarm.com is a cloud platform behind many business security systems, combining intrusion alarms, video, access control, thermostats and sensors in one app. Systems are sold and installed through dealers. Bluetek helps Central PA businesses keep Alarm.com devices connected, secure and working with the rest of their network.
What it is
Alarm.com connects a security panel, cameras, door locks, thermostats and sensors to the cloud, so you can arm, disarm, watch video and get alerts from one app. Professional monitoring is provided through your alarm dealer.
Typical small-business use
Retail shops, offices, restaurants and small warehouses use it to arm and disarm remotely, see who opened the store, get alerts for after-hours entry and adjust thermostats from a phone.
Problems we fix
Most problems are network problems: cameras that drop off Wi-Fi, video doorbells that lag, panels that lose their internet path and devices on the same network as office PCs. We fix Wi-Fi coverage, put devices on their own network and make sure the dealer’s equipment can reach the cloud.
Licensing and dealer quirks
Alarm.com service is billed through your dealer, and features depend on the service plan the dealer sets up. Cameras and video storage may add to the monthly cost. We work with your dealer, not around them, to get features working.
Network separation
Smart devices belong on a separate network from your office computers. We create that network and lock it down.
Video and storage
We help size internet upload and choose between cloud video and local recording.
User management
We help you set up user codes and app logins by role, and remind you to remove them when staff leave.
Working with your alarm dealer
We coordinate with the dealer on panel communication paths, cellular backup and installs, so everyone knows who fixes what.
Smart thermostats and sensors
Temperature, water and door sensors can alert you to problems before they become costly.
How it fits our stack
We keep the network the security system depends on healthy, monitored and secure.
When the internet goes down
An alarm panel that only talks over the office internet goes silent during an outage. We confirm your panel has a cellular path through the dealer, and put cameras and the panel on a network with failover so alerts and video keep flowing.
Hand-me-down equipment
When a business buys a building with an old system, we help sort out what’s still under contract, what can be reused and what should be replaced.
- Intrusion, video and access in one app
