Alarm systems, security cameras, and 24/7 professional monitoring for Scottsdale homes and businesses, including the ones that sit empty part of the year.
Get a Free QuoteA lot of Scottsdale homes are seasonal or part-time, which changes what a security system needs to do. When a house sits empty for months, the questions are who notices a problem, how fast, and whether you can see what is happening without getting on a plane.
That is where cameras, smart locks, and a thermostat you can check from your phone earn their keep. Everything runs through the same Alarm.com app as the alarm itself, so one login covers the whole property from wherever you are.

Scottsdale requires an alarm permit and bills false alarms on an escalating schedule. For a seasonal home that matters more, since nobody is there to walk to the keypad. The app lets you check and disarm from anywhere.
The City of Scottsdale’s published permit fee is $10, with a $10 renewal.
The first two false alarms are not billed.
After that, the published fees are $50 for the third, $75 for the fourth, $100 for the fifth and sixth, and $200 from the seventh on.
An alarm without a permit is billed $50 for every activation.

Real reviews from AZ Alarm customers, shown with the city each one lives in.
The technicians that handled the installation were efficient, clean, and very friendly. They showed us the entire system before they left and made sure we were comfortable with everything. We even received a call a couple of days later to confirm everything was working as desired and ask if we had any questions. Highly recommended!
I had AZ Alarm come out to my house after we moved in to update the system that was already here. We had a couple new touchscreen keypads installed, also added home automation features so I can adjust the temperature, lock and unlock the front door, and turn on and off lights while we travel. The installer spent time showing how to use the new system. Nicely done, thank you.
