What is an Alarm.com User Code?

How do user codes make life easier?

1: They’re a smarter way to give access

It’s simple to set up a unique code for each member of your family. Here’s a step-by-step guide to setting up Alarm.com user codes.

For non-family members, user codes are easy to customize for limited access. For your dog-walker, you can set up a code that works only on weekdays between 12.00 and 2.00pm. A one-day user code will let a contractor in today, but not tomorrow.

2: Access alerts give you peace of mind

Once everyone has their own code, Alarm.com can let you know who’s coming and going. You can get a text alert when the dog-walker arrives, or a daily video clip of your kids coming home from school.

3: It’s smarter for  security

User codes and smart locks eliminate many of the security risks and costs that come with spare keys. Unlike a key, a user code can’t be dropped, mislaid or left in the door. If your kids forget their codes, there’s always the doorbell camera.

And, should you ever suspect a code has been shared, stolen or misused, you can open Alarm.com and delete it, fully restoring your front door’s security with no locksmiths necessary.
