Hills and Alarm.com announced a strategic partnership  to bring Alarm.com’s advanced smart home services to Hills’ significant partner base. Alarm.com offers cloud based security and home automation services. From a single mobile app, users can control and manage interactive security, video monitoring and energy management solutions as well as a broad ecosystem of connected devices.

Hills head of product practice Daniel Lee said the Alarm.com offering was the next step in home security and automation.

“Hills is delighted to announce this partnership with Alarm.com and to bring the next frontier of security technology to the market,” Daniel Lee said.

The Alarm.com services platform is deeply integrated with Tyco Security Product’s DSC alarm panels and gives end users a security and home automation system that adds significant convenience and peace of mind to their lives.

“We’re very excited about our partnership with Hills and the opportunity to deepen the reach for Alarm.com’s leading smart home services in the Australian market,” said Alarm.com’s senior vice president for global business development Reed Grothe.

“Security and home automation services are driving broad consumer adoption of the smart home and this partnership will help Hills’ dealer network capitalise on the opportunity,” Reed Grothe said.

Alarm.com’s leading services are built around home security and also include home automation devices like lights, locks, and smart thermostats. The user can control and manage devices and appliances in their home from anywhere through a smart phone app, and the home can automatically take action to manage energy more efficiently and reduce waste. It’s easily customised to suit the needs of any family.

Alarm.com’s smart home services with Tyco Security Product’s DSC security panels were on display at Security Expo 2015 held in Melbourne in July.
