Keeping Your Car Safe: How Alarm.com’s Connected Car is Making Security Smarter
Protecting your car is more important than ever. Whether you're driving to work, running errands, or taking a trip, you want to keep your vehicle safe. Alarm.com’s Connected Car helps you track and monitor your car in real time, giving you better security and peace of mind no matter where you go.
What is Alarm.com’s Connected Car? Alarm.com’s Connected Car is a smart vehicle monitoring solution that seamlessly integrates with the Alarm.com home security ecosystem. It’s designed to provide real-time location tracking, diagnostic alerts, and driving behavior insights, making it an all-in-one tool for car owners who want to ensure their vehicle’s safety and performance.
Unlike traditional vehicle tracking systems, this device connects directly to your car’s OBD-II port (available in most cars built after 1996), making it incredibly easy to install and use.
Key Features of Connected Car
1. Real-Time Location Tracking
One of the standout features of Connected Car is its real-time GPS tracking. Whether you're keeping an eye on a teen driver, tracking a company vehicle, or ensuring your car is safe while parked, this feature gives you complete control. Simply open the Alarm.com mobile app to check your car’s exact location at any time.
2. Diagnostic Alerts & Maintenance Reminders
Ever had your car’s check engine light turn on with no clue what’s wrong? Connected Car helps you stay ahead of potential mechanical issues by sending alerts for:
✔️ Low fuel levels
✔️ Low battery warnings
✔️ Check engine issues
✔️ Other diagnostic problems
This ensures that you can fix minor problems before they become major repairs, ultimately saving you time and money.
3. Driving Behavior Monitoring
If you have a new driver, an elderly parent, or a company vehicle, monitoring driving behavior can be crucial.
Connected Car tracks:
✔️ Speeding
✔️ Hard braking
✔️ Sudden acceleration
These insights help you encourage safer driving habits and provide peace of mind, knowing how your vehicle is being used. 4. Unexpected Movement Alerts & Anti-Theft Protection One of the biggest concerns for car owners is vehicle theft. With unexpected movement alerts, you’ll be notified immediately if your car moves unexpectedly—whether it’s being towed, stolen, or used without your permission.
Imagine receiving a notification the moment your car starts moving outside of designated hours or locations. This feature acts as an added layer of anti-theft security, helping law enforcement recover stolen vehicles faster.

✔️ Your home’s lights can turn on as you approach your driveway.
