Yes. A burglar alarm alerts you when an intrusion is detected, but cameras provide live visuals, recorded evidence, and can help deter crime before it happens. Together, they create a stronger security system.
Cloud storage saves video footage online, allowing you to access recordings anytime from your phone or computer. Local storage saves footage to an NVR or DVR in your home, usually with no monthly fee.
Yes. Both Alarm.com cameras and traditional NVR/DVR systems allow remote viewing. With Alarm.com, everything is managed through their mobile app, while DVR/NVR systems usually include a manufacturer app or web portal.
Most homes need at least 3 to 5 cameras to cover entry doors, the driveway, and main living areas. Larger homes or properties with multiple outdoor spaces may require additional cameras for full coverage.

If you choose an Alarm.com camera system, a monthly fee applies for cloud storage and remote features. Traditional DVR/NVR systems usually do not require monthly fees, since storage is local.
Alarm.com Integrated: Access your cameras, alarms, locks, and lighting from a single app—perfect for smart-home enthusiasts.
Traditional NVRs: Ideal for homeowners who prefer local storage and no subscription fees.
Both systems offer HD live video, motion detection, and secure remote viewing.
