Are Your Kids Full of Surprises? Alarm.com Has You Covered.
When you’re a parent, life is full of surprises. Some of them more welcome than others.
Kids made you breakfast in bed? That’s cute. Kids got into the garage and painted the floor purple? That’s not cute at all.
To protect you and your kids from bad ideas that seemed good at the time, we have launched Unexpected Activity notifications. They’re a new type of proactive, intelligent protection powered by our Insights Engine, which looks out for your family by learning your everyday behavior patterns and letting you know when something out of the ordinary is going on.
You don’t need to do anything to set up this new smart home feature. Alarm.com’s Insights Engine works proactively as part of the smart home security platform that powers your home. Over time, however, you can train it with simple ‘useful / not useful’ feedback that the Insights Engine will adapt to. You can also opt to ‘pause’ for 24 hours if a sudden schedule change, such as a sick day, begins triggering alerts.
Unusual Activity notifications can be triggered by all sorts of sensors around your home, including contact sensors on doors and windows, and motion sensors that you’ve placed in dangerous or forbidden areas.
Here are five areas of your home where an Unexpected Activity alert can save the day:
1. External doors
On weekday mornings, your front door sees a lot of activity. On weekend mornings—not so much… so why did it just open at 6.30? Answer: your curious four-year is exploring the front yard while you’re still waking up with your first cup of coffee. This Unexpected Activity notification will have you alert in no time.
