2025 Alarm.com Updates: Impact on All Secure Clients
What’s new with Alarm.com, and why does it matter for your property’s security?
As an official Alarm.com partner, All Secure is excited to roll out several 2025 updates that streamline access control, reduce hardware costs, and give you more visibility whether you’re managing a property, a team, or your own home.
We’re not just telling you what’s new, we’re showing you how it benefits you. Whether you’re already using Alarm.com through All Secure or looking to upgrade your current system, here’s what you should know about the latest innovations and why they matter.
1. The New Video Intercom Mobile Directory (VIMD)
We get this request all the time:
“Can I have a video intercom system that works with my access control and doesn’t cost a fortune?”
With Alarm.com’s new Video Intercom Mobile Directory, the answer is finally yes.
What it does:
- Visitors scan a QR code at the entry point.
- A list of tenants or users opens on the visitor’s phone.
- The visitor taps to initiate a video/audio call.
- The tenant can answer, verify, and unlock the door—right from their phone.
Why it matters:
No extra hardware. No bulky intercom boxes. No high-labor installs.
This is especially useful if you’re already using Alarm.com access control—because this new system builds right into your existing infrastructure.
“It used to take weeks and thousands of dollars to get a reliable intercom installed. All Secure got this mobile version set up in a single afternoon—and our tenants love it.”
— Megan L., Property Manager, Denver

2. Smarter Notification Controls
This one’s subtle but powerful—especially if you manage multiple users or locations.
Alarm.com now allows individual control over who receives what type of notification, and it’s easier than ever to adjust on the fly.
You can:
- Add or remove recipients to specific notifications
- Adjust alerts from the mobile app or web dashboard
- Ensure only the right people are notified for each event (no more flood of irrelevant pings)
“Our last provider couldn’t filter alerts by team member. All Secure walked us through setting it up with Alarm.com, and now our operations team isn’t getting alerts meant for IT.”
— James K., Facilities Director, Boulder

If you’re an existing All Secure customer using Alarm.com and want help optimizing your alerts, just give us a call. We’ll reconfigure it with you.
3. Better Setup Tools = Faster Installations
As a certified partner, All Secure now has early access to new backend configuration tools and resources—meaning faster setup times, cleaner installs, and less disruption to your day.
We now use:
- Partner-facing best practices for intercom & access control combos
- New tenant directory configuration shortcuts
- Streamlined testing tools for mobile access workflows
That means:
- Less time on-site
- More reliability
- Reduced wiring and visible hardware
If you’re getting ready for a renovation or considering upgrading your system before the year ends, now’s the time.
4. Unified Experiences Across Devices
This year, Alarm.com has also pushed updates that improve cross-platform functionality, making it easier for users to:
- Access systems via phone, tablet, or desktop
- Navigate access logs or camera feeds on the go
- Reset credentials, check notifications, or open doors from anywhere
We’ve seen these app improvements firsthand—especially during site inspections and fast-paced workdays.
Questions You Might Be Asking…
Do I need to upgrade my whole system to use the new mobile directory?
Not necessarily. If you’re already using Alarm.com access control through All Secure, we can evaluate your current system and show you how to integrate the mobile directory with minimal changes.
Is this just for commercial use?
While it’s built for commercial and multi-tenant environments, gated communities, HOAs, and even high-security residences can benefit from these updates.
Will All Secure help me get this set up?
Absolutely. That’s the benefit of working with a local, certified Alarm.com partner. We don’t just sell the system—we walk you through it, configure it, and train your team.
Can I rent a temporary setup or test it first?
We offer demos and walkthroughs, and we’re happy to show you how it would function in your space before you commit.
