Alarm.com expands into commercial fire

TYSONS, Va. – Alarm.com has introduced its Fire Communicator (ADC FC100), expanding Alarm.com for Business into the commercial fire category.

With the addition of fire alongside intrusion, access control and video, service providers can now standardize on Alarm.com for Business across the four major categories of commercial security.

The Fire Communicator replaces legacy POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) fire communications with reliable, dual-path signaling that works with both new and existing fire alarm control panels. Businesses can modernize fire monitoring without the cost and disruption of replacing current infrastructure, creating a more affordable path to updated fire communications while gaining real-time alerts and centralized visibility through Alarm.com services.

For service providers, this approach simplifies operations with one portal, one technician app, and one bill across all security categories. Businesses benefit from a more consistent experience with centralized alerts, reporting, and history for intrusion, access control, video and fire monitoring.

“More than 20 years ago, Alarm.com transformed residential intrusion by combining reliable signal communication with a modern cloud platform and connected user experience,” said Dan Kerzner, president of Platforms Business at Alarm.com. “The Fire Communicator applies that same model to commercial fire, giving service providers a simpler way to manage installations, monitoring, and customer accounts while helping businesses bring fire monitoring into the same day-to-day workflows they already use for the rest of their security system.”
