CalAmp Telematics Help Unite Vehicle Safety
with Home Automation
Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM) is connecting your car and home through
its integrated security platform to help people stay informed about
their vehicle’s status and unlock more home automation
capabilities. Alarm.com Connected Car, developed in collaboration
with vehicle telematics solutions pioneer CalAmp (Nasdaq: CAMP),
offers all the benefits of a vehicle monitoring solution plus the
unique benefit of deep integration with the Alarm.com smart home
security system. Vehicle insights, notifications and home
automation features are all accessible through one interface – the
Alarm.com mobile app.
“We’re excited to extend the technology and benefits of
Alarm.com to include cars,” said Alarm.com Chief Product Officer
Dan Kerzner. “Connected Car, like the rest of our offering, helps
people monitor and manage the things they care about most on a
unified platform with a seamless user experience. Adding cars is
another step forward in our ongoing commitment to helping our
partners improve the lives and safety of their customers.”
Compatible with most cars manufactured since 1996, the Connected
Car device plugs into a vehicle’s OBD-II port for easy
self-installation, reducing the need for costly truck rolls to add
the device. Connected Car uses a dedicated cellular connection and
has a battery backup, so it communicates with the home system and
end user, even when the vehicle’s engine is off. With CalAmp’s
telematics technology integrated with the solution, users can
create rules so they receive Alarm.com notifications about specific
vehicle details or activity, such as:
- Diagnostics and potential repairs (check engine light on, low
battery or low fuel)
- Driving Behavior (sudden acceleration, hard braking, excessive
speeding)
- Unexpected Movement (vehicle moves while the engine is off,
indicating it may have been towed, crashed into, or stolen)
Vehicles with Connected Car installed can be added to a user’s
existing Alarm.com-powered smart home security system to trigger
automation rules and reminders using the vehicle’s location. For
example, lights turn on and the temperature adjusts as a driver
arrives home. Or, alerts are sent to a driver’s mobile device if
they leave without closing the garage door or locking the front
door of their home.
“I love having my home and car connected through one system and
the consistency of Connected Car,” said Taylor Proudfit, COO at
Titan Alarm in Phoenix, Ariz. “It's always on and works really well
with the Z-Wave rules that I created to turn on the lights when my
car pulls into the driveway. This takes security technology to a
whole different level.”
“We are very excited to be partnering with Alarm.com,” said Jeff
Gardner, President and CEO of CalAmp. “By integrating CalAmp’s
innovative telematics technology, Alarm.com customers now have
seamless access to real-time information that will improve driver
safety, enhance vehicle security and allow customers to stay on top
of vehicle maintenance needs.”
Connected Car is available through authorized Alarm.com service
providers in the U.S. and Canada as a standalone solution or add-on
