Jenny, 5m4m contributor shares her insights into the Alarm.com website. This is a great resource for protecting your home. While we were compensated to write this post, all opinions remain those of the writer.

When it comes to home security, I usually lock my doors and don’t think twice. After all, I live in a fairly small town with a low crime rate. However, sometimes I wonder what would happen if I forgot? That was when I was introduced to Alarm.com.

When I first heard about Alarm.com I was skeptical.  However, I soon realized that this company does more than protect your home from intruders.  It protects your home from yourself.

Here is what I mean —

Are you forgetful? Did you leave something on? Did you lock the door? Wonder what the kids are up to while you are out? Imagine never wasting electricity again, being able to check on your pets while you are out, and more?  Now, that is useful!

Useful Features of Alarm.com

 Interactive Security

•  dedicated wireless connection
• crash and smash protection
• two-way emergency voice

 Video Monitoring

This feature allows you to see what’s going on at your property, even when you’re not there. Whether someone is driving up to the house, entering the front door, or even if a certain pet is up to no good; you will be aware!

 Energy Management

My favorite feature is the state of the art Energy Management solution, which allows you to make adjustments to your lights and thermostat. Alarm.com can help you stop wasting energy and start saving money on your energy bills.
