The good news: Alarm.com is big, profitable and growing, and thousands of security companies depend on it. Its service is very unlikely to go away.
The bad news: You can’t use Alarm.com on your own. If your security company goes out of business or you cancel, you need a new provider to keep the app working.
If you own Alarm.com
- Ask your security company whether your equipment can move to another Alarm.com dealer if you ever switch.
- Keep the keypad code handy, since the panel works without the app.
