Alarm.com Access Control
Our go-to access control platform — fully integrated with your security system, cameras, and smart home devices in a single app. Manage users, view logs, and lock or unlock doors from anywhere.
One app.
Total control.
When your access control lives in the same platform as your alarm, cameras, locks, and smart home — everything works together. An unauthorized entry attempt triggers a camera clip. A door left open sends an alert. Arm away and every door locks automatically. No separate software, no separate login.
- Unified with your alarm, cameras, locks, and automation
- Manage users, credentials, and schedules from any device
- Real-time alerts and access event logs
- Mobile credentials — use your phone as a key
- Temporary and scheduled access codes for contractors, staff
- Door, gate, elevator, and garage control in one platform
Mobile Credentials
Use your smartphone as an access credential — no card or fob needed
User Management
Add, remove, and schedule access for any user from the app
Camera Integration
Entry events automatically trigger camera clips for review

Every access event is timestamped and logged — who entered and when
