Alarm.com Transforms Multi-Tenant Buildings with Low-Cost Video Intercom Directory Solution

Advanced solution replaces outdated intercoms with smart video calling and mobile directory—no new hardware required

TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM), the leading platform for intelligently connected properties, today announced the release of its new low-cost Video Intercom Mobile Directory, an innovative solution for secure entry management. Available to Alarm.com and PointCentral service provider partners, it replaces costly traditional intercoms with a professionally supported solution that is affordable for clients across all markets, easy for consumers to use with their existing mobile phones, and sleek in its smaller installation footprint.

The Video Intercom Mobile Directory modernizes how multi-tenant buildings handle visitor management. Visitors simply approach the video intercom hub, scan the visitor QR code with their mobile phones, browse the tenant directory, and start a secure video call. Residents and commercial tenants can see, speak, and unlock doors from anywhere using the provided Alarm.com video intercom app. By providing mobile access control, this solution streamlines entry management and eliminates the need for traditional intercom systems in individual units, offering a more efficient and centralized approach to building security.

"We've designed the Video Intercom Mobile Directory to bring building intercoms into the smartphone era," said Dan Kerzner, President of Platforms Business at Alarm.com. " Property managers will benefit from a low cost and sleek low-footprint enterprise-grade visitor management solution, and our service providers will gain another way to provide substantial value to their multi-tenant customer bases."
