Superb Customer Service
What made my experience great was the high level customer service I received from Erin. We were locked out of our system due to the account switching managers. The third party vendor was not responding to our calls for support. So I reached out to Alarm.com. Erin worked with me for several days as we navigated through the process.
I was completely grateful for her dedication to my case. I will certainly be recommending this company just because of the quality of customer service she provided.

Total crap

They give you 3,000 uploaded videos limit and wind blowing a palm tree records 300 videos in 3 days, so you’re out in 2-3 weeks from your allowance, then they want you to buy more. Would not recommend

Buyer Beware, owner not straightforward
I received a phone call from one "Arthur" representing Smart Home Security. He told me this was an excellent system and I could access my system even when I was away anywhere in the continental USA. Come to find out, I cannot even access my system from 4 miles away. Furthermore, my contract was NOT smart Home Security, but Dealer-Ally Premier Home Security. Wait for the punch line: The company is really called Alarm.com and then I must pay $19.99 to Dynamark for the monitoring service. The owner is Lauren Pitman. She phoned me to tell me that Pinnacle Finance would be handling this contract and 1. To say everything was up and running (assured me that the "tiny glitch" would be fixed the next day) 2. Do not offer to pay more than the minimum loan amount. I have good credit because I pay off loans faster than planned. Pinnacle Finance found this to be foolish; I pay more than minimum.
NOT ANYWHERE in the contract does it state I have to pay an additional $19.99 to yet another company called Dynamark who do the actual monitoring. Lauren Pitman has refused to answer anymore questions regarding this system. Her comment was 'It's working". Yes on her end, but I am not paying to have it shown working in Tennessee; I need it to work in Florida. I will honor the loan contract as Pinnacle Finance has done nothing wrong, but if you wish to get hooked like a fish, call Dealer-Ally Premiere Security.......... oh wait, doesn't exist. So, I was interested in Smart Home Security but am tangled up with Dealer-Ally Security and the real company is "alarm.com. This widow, 78 years of age has been duped!
I got my service cut off because I didn't pay the $19.99. I still have no paperwork stating I had to pay $19.99 per month PLUS pay off the loan of $4,000.
I have been asked to add more details, but I can only state there is Oscar, Arthur, Lauren (owner) and I still have no documentation that I have to pay $19.99 but Lauren will cut offmy security system if I don't.

🚨 Let’s Clear Something Up About…
🚨 Let’s Clear Something Up About Alarm.com 🚨
If you’ve ever searched for a security system or smart home setup, chances are you’ve come across Alarm.com — and maybe even a few negative reviews. But before you judge the platform, it’s important to know:
👉 Alarm.com is NOT a security company.
They don’t install your system.
They don’t monitor your alarms.
They don’t provide direct customer support.
So what do they do?
Alarm.com is a powerful integration platform used by licensed, independent security companies (like us!) to bring together all your devices and services into one seamless experience.
It’s the brains behind the scenes — giving you a secure, easy-to-use mobile and web interface that connects your security panel to everything else in your home or business.
💡 Here’s what Alarm.com can do:
✅ Control your security system from anywhere
✅ Receive real-time alerts and notifications
✅ Arm/disarm your system remotely
✅ Lock and unlock smart door locks
✅ View and control live video feeds
✅ Automate lights, thermostats, and garage doors
✅ Create custom scenes (like “Away” or “Bedtime”)
✅ Detect and alert you to water leaks or temperature changes
✅ Integrate with major brands like:
🔹 2GIG
🔹 Qolsys
🔹 DSC
🔹 Honeywell
🔹 Yale, Kwikset, Schlage
🔹 Lutron, LiftMaster, Ecobee, and many more
🛠️ The quality of your experience with Alarm.com depends heavily on who installs and supports your system. Poor service from an installer can lead to frustration — and unfortunately, the platform sometimes gets blamed when it's really an issue with the provider. So when you see a review about “Alarm.com,” it’s often actually a reflection of someone’s experience with the installer or dealer, not the platform itself. Just like bad service from a mechanic doesn’t mean your car’s manufacturer is to blame — it’s all about the local provider.
💬 That’s where St. Louis Alarm Co. comes in. We’re proud to be a trusted local partner who installs, maintains, and supports Alarm.com-powered systems the right way — with personal service and expert care and high recommends Alarm.com platform to all of our customers.
