Overview

Connected Car and Connected Fleet offer a seamless, integrated user experience by extending Alarm.com’s security and awareness technology beyond the home or business. The Car Connector provides location tracking, unexpected movement while parked alerts, and real-time driving alerts, like for excessive speeding. It can trigger video recording rules when unexpected movement is detected—capturing would-be thieves in the act. It also helps keep vehicles in good working order to avoid roadside emergencies. Users can view engine status, analyze fuel efficiency, and receive diagnostic alerts. The Car Connector quickly and easily plugs into a vehicle’s OBD-II port, connecting the vehicle to the Alarm.com platform and it now supports electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

*Car Connector features and capabilities vary between Connected Car and Connected Fleet solutions.
