TYSONS, Calif.—At ISC West 2024, Alarm.com showcased new proactive security technologies, including advanced deterrence measures and gunshot detection solutions. These new capabilities, the company says, demonstrate its commitment to expanding security through innovations that help prevent crime, speed emergency response, and save lives.
“Our newest product lineup has significantly enhanced the ability of security systems to detect and deter criminal activity,” says Dan Kerzner, president, platforms business at Alarm.com. “In addition, we remain focused on innovating to streamline operational complexity for home and business owners, as well as the service providers who protect them. By designing our products to work seamlessly together on a unified platform, we are able to provide richer contextual information about suspicious activity as well as a more comprehensive array of deterrence measures.”
Remote Video Monitoring Console, Sunflower Labs Autonomous Drone Highlight ISC 2024 Booth
At ISC West 2024 Alarm.com launched the Remote Video Monitoring (RVM) Console. The company states this product is a powerful system that enables central station operators to offer round-the-clock concierge video monitoring and proactive defense services to customers with Alarm.com Video Analytics cameras. Through the system the company explains that operators are alerted immediately when a person or vehicle enters a restricted area, and can use the RVM Console to assess the situation and intervene through system hardware onsite, including by talking down through Alarm.com cameras.
“Typical remote video monitoring solutions are disjointed and involve components from multiple providers, but our Remote Video Monitoring Console delivers a truly end-to-end solution that’s accessible and practical for a broader market,” comments Brian Lohse, general manager, Alarm.com for Business. “Alarm.com’s unified software platform drives not only the cameras and hardware at a property, but also the video analytics and the central station interface – eliminating the need for service providers to install separate gateways. The result is a superior, privacy-centric customer experience for home and business owners, streamlined operations for providers, and more data and control for central station operators.”
Alarm.com also unveiled new products at ISC West 2024 that pair seamlessly with the Remote Video Monitoring Console, providing additional ways to engage and deter trespassers, such as flashing lights, sounds, drone deployment, and even generation of room-filling white haze.
The company also partnered with Sunflower Labs to launch an autonomous outdoor security drone solution for larger commercial or residential properties. System sensor activity and Video Analytics trigger the drone to deploy and investigate suspicious events, covering 10 acres in 90 seconds. The drone provides aerial awareness for property owners and central station operators and serves as an effective deterrence measure by alerting intruders that they’re under surveillance.
“We are a long-time Alarm.com service provider and are thrilled to offer the Sunflower Labs autonomous security drone to our customers with large properties and exacting security needs,” states Richard Ginsburg, chief executive officer of ACS Security and Alert360. “The security drone can cover more ground and reach disturbances faster than a human security guard—so it’s a cost-effective way to complement and augment a traditional guard service.”
Other new products that were featured in the Alarm.com ISC 2024 booth were the new Outdoor Floodlight Camera that features 4MP video and Two-Way Talkdown, and 3,000 Lumen floodlights for customizable lighting options for homes and small- to medium-sized businesses. Additionally, the floodlight can automatically respond to threats when unwanted visitors or vehicles are detected, activating red and blue warning lights and playing warning sounds from a powerful siren.
For indoor threat deterrence, Alarm.com is set to release its VizBlinder, which quickly fills a room with a visibility-obscuring white haze that prevents criminals from proceeding with their activity. Central station operators can deploy the VizBlinder as an escalation measure after engaging with trespassers via Alarm.com cameras.
Alarm.com points out that it has expanded its commercial offering with the Shooter Detection Systems indoor gunshot sensor, which speeds response times during an active shooter incident. The new end-to-end solution instantly detects gunshots, sends alerts to facilities administrators, and provides first responders with critical information and situational awareness.
The SDS sensor uses dual-authentication technology to identify the acoustic and infrared signature of a gunshot with an accuracy rate of less than 1 false alert per 5 million hours of use. Gunshot signals are automatically forwarded to the Alarm.com platform and a central station is alerted within seconds, ensuring law enforcement arriving on scene know precisely where in the building the incident was detected.
Additionally, each of these new solutions, as well as others including Commercial Connected Fleet, the Pro Series PoE Doorbell, and more, were on display during ISC West 2024 in Las Vegas.
