Smart Locks Offer Many Benefits Beyond Enhanced Security
With keyless entry and remote control via the Alarm.com app, a smart lock makes any entrance into your home a hi-tech access point. Mountain Alarm offers many styles of smart locks, combining keyless convenience with enhanced security, improved awareness, and an array of safeguards to better protect your home and family.
Linked to the other smart devices in your home, automated and controlled through the app, and able to trigger alerts and automated actions, smart locks are a key component to any modern security system.
Verify a visitor, then unlock remotely
All smart locks let you unlock your door remotely. With Alarm.com, you can also unlock securely, using your doorbell camera to conveniently control access to your home.
If you're expecting a valuable delivery but can't stay home from work, no problem. When the delivery driver rings your smart doorbell, you'll get an alert that turns into a video feed. You can talk to the driver, then unlock your door—all from the same screen—have them leave your delivery safely inside, and then relock your door.
Control your locks with Scenes
Inside the app, “Scenes” employ useful commands, with names like Home, Away, and Sleep, that activate several different devices at once.
With smart locks powered by Alarm.com, Scenes can offer better system control. Tapping your Home button as you arrive home will unlock your door and disarm your security system. Tapping the Sleep button before going to bed will lock your doors and arm the system, as well as turn your smart thermostat down, if desired.
Get automatic reminders for extra security
Did you know that one in three burglaries involve no forced entry? In the U.S., 500,000 burglaries are made easier by homeowners who neglect or forget to lock their doors and windows.
As part of an Alarm.com-powered home, your smart lock becomes a proactive defense against unlawful entry, triggering a reminder on your smartphone when you (or your family) leave home without locking up. These reminders come with a “lock” command included, so you don't even need to open your app–much less head back home.
Give user codes for access and awareness
If your smart lock has a numerical keypad, your family and trusted visitors can simply open it with individualized user codes. User codes eliminate the security risk of spare keys and the need for you to remotely unlock each time. You can customize the codes, so they only work at certain times (good for a dog-walker) or expire on a specified date. User codes also keep you aware of who's coming and going, with custom alert options that can tell you exactly who just unlocked the door.
