Alarm.com Favorability Statistics 2021
Alarm.com has expanded into commercial with the purchases of OpenEye in 2019 and Shooter Detection Systems (SDS) in 2020.
Have these purchases changed Alarm.com’s reputation as a residential focused company? And how have their results changed since 2019? IPVM investigates how 200+ integrators responded about the once dot com startup.
