When you think about your business security system, you probably think about alarms, cameras, and keeping your facility protected.

But today’s security technology can do much more than alert you when something goes wrong. It can also give you valuable insight into what’s happening across your business every day.

With Alarm.com Smarter Business Reports, important system activity can be organized and delivered directly to you—helping you stay informed without constantly logging in and checking your system.

Turn Your Security System Into a Business Tool

Your security system is already collecting information about activity throughout your facility. Smarter Business Reports can help turn that information into useful, easy-to-reference reports.

Depending on your system, reports can help you monitor areas such as:

Open and Close Activity

Want to know when your business is actually opening and closing?

Open/Close Reports provide a record of when your security system is armed and disarmed, making it easier to review activity over time.

Instead of manually checking your system, you can schedule recurring reports and have the information delivered automatically.

Access Control Activity

If your business uses access control, your system can provide valuable insight into activity at controlled doors.

Reports can help you review successful and failed access attempts and maintain a record of access activity.

This gives you another way to understand how your facility is being accessed and provides a history you can reference when questions arise.

Video Health Reports

Security cameras are only helpful when they're working properly.

Video Health Reports can provide insight into the condition of your cameras and video equipment, including important system information and recent snapshots.

Rather than discovering a camera problem when you need footage, reporting can help you stay aware of the condition of your video system.

Set It. Forget It. Stay Informed.

One of the biggest advantages of Smarter Business Reports is that you don't have to remember to pull the information yourself.

Choose the reports that are useful to your business and have them delivered automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Consider creating a dedicated email folder for your security reports. Over time, you'll build an organized history of system activity that's easy to reference when you need it.

Need information right away? Reports can also be generated on demand.

Reports + Real-Time Notifications

Reports aren't meant to replace your critical security notifications—they supplement them.

Real-time notifications help keep you informed about important events as they happen, while recurring reports give you a bigger-picture view of activity over time.

Together, they can help you stay informed now while keeping a record you can reference later.

Get More From Your Business Security System

Your security system shouldn't just sit in the background waiting for an emergency.

With the right reports and notifications in place, it can become another tool for understanding what's happening throughout your business.

ACE-HTI can help you determine which reports and notifications make sense for your business and help you get them set up.
