Alarm.com
Alarm.com is a dealer-only security and automation platform rather than a hardware vendor in the usual sense. Its Z-Wave thermostats, sensors and water valves are ordinary Z-Wave Plus devices that Home Assistant drives locally through Z-Wave JS. Everything else, from the cameras and doorbells to the commercial access control and fire range, is licensed to the Alarm.com cloud, and reaches Home Assistant only through an unofficial integration or not at all.

Devices in this brand
Sensors & Environment
3 devicesADC-FLEX-100
A standalone LTE sensor with a reed switch, a loop input and a relay output, for monitoring things far past the reach of any house radio. All of it reports to Alarm.com over cellular.
ADC-S2000-T-RA
The previous-generation Alarm.com remote temperature sensor, superseded by the ADC-S40-T. Z-Wave, with a device file in Z-Wave JS, so an existing one can be kept and read by Home Assistant rather than binned.
ADC-S40-T
A Z-Wave Plus S2 remote sensor reporting both temperature and humidity, sold to average a room against an Alarm.com thermostat. In Home Assistant it is simply another Z-Wave sensor, usable by any automation rather than only by the thermostat it was sold with.
Security & Safety
6 devicesADC-FC100
A UL 864 listed dual-path fire communicator with dual SIM, replacing POTS signalling on commercial fire panels. Regulated life safety equipment, deliberately closed.
Not recommendedADC-SDS2001
The indoor Shooter Detection Systems sensor, using paired acoustic and infrared detection to confirm a gunshot in under a second. Specialist life safety equipment on the Alarm.com for Business cloud.
ADC-SWM150
A motorised 1-inch shutoff valve with a flow meter in the same body, speaking Z-Wave Plus with S2. Home Assistant can include it directly in Z-Wave JS, which puts whole-home water shutoff and consumption data on the mains without an Alarm.com account.
ADC-SWV100
The current Alarm.com water shutoff: a motorised 1-inch valve on Z-Wave Plus with S2, but without the flow meter the older ADC-SWM150 carried. Home Assistant can include it in Z-Wave JS and close the mains from an automation.
Not recommendedADC-NK-200T-A-CC
A 4G LTE connector with battery backup that links access control and shooter detection systems to Alarm.com for Business. Infrastructure for the commercial platform, not a device in its own right.
Not recommendedAUC-LX30B-Q50T / LX30B-Q50TU-AUC
A 4G LTE communicator that takes over an existing POTS alarm panel and puts it on the Alarm.com platform. A monitoring upgrade path, with nothing exposed locally.
Access Control
16 devicesADC-AC-CARD-50L4
The DESFire card credential for the Alarm.com access readers.
Not recommendedADC-AC-CARD-50M4
A dual-technology card carrying both DESFire and 125kHz proximity, for sites migrating from older prox readers one door at a time.
Not recommendedADC-AC-ET10
The slim mullion-mount reader in the Alarm.com access range, reading proximity, DESFire, NFC and Bluetooth over OSDP Secure Channel.
Not recommendedADC-AC-ET20
The single-gang reader, same multi-technology credential support and OSDP Secure Channel as the ET10 in a wider body.
Not recommendedADC-AC-ET25
The keypad reader, adding a PIN pad for two-factor entry or code-only doors, with the same OSDP Secure Channel credential support.
Not recommendedADC-AC-FOB-60L8
The DESFire keyfob credential for the Alarm.com access readers.

Sixteen supervised input points for a Mercury controller.
Not recommendedADC-AC-MR16OUT
Sixteen relay outputs for a Mercury controller.
Not recommendedADC-AC-MR50

Adds relay outputs to an Aero controller, for locks, barriers and auxiliary devices.
Cameras & Doorbells
26 devicesADC-CSVR2000P
The base commercial stream video recorder, with PoE ports feeding Alarm.com cameras directly. Storage sits on the client's premises but stays bound to the Alarm.com account.
Not recommendedADC-CSVR2108P
An eight-port PoE commercial recorder for Alarm.com camera systems. Local storage, but administered and played back only through the Alarm.com platform.
Not recommendedADC-CSVR2116P
The sixteen-port PoE commercial recorder, for larger Alarm.com camera deployments. Same closed platform as the rest of the range.
Not recommendedADC-SVR210
The residential stream video recorder, adding continuous recording to Alarm.com Wi-Fi cameras. The disk is in the house but the footage is reachable only through Alarm.com.
Not recommendedADC-V515
A 1080p indoor Wi-Fi camera with HDR, sold behind an Alarm.com video plan. Now superseded by the ADC-V516, and with no local stream it never reaches Home Assistant.
Not recommendedADC-V516
The current 1080p indoor Wi-Fi camera, replacing the ADC-V515 with dual-band Wi-Fi and working two-way audio. Still streams only to Alarm.com, so Home Assistant gets nothing from it.
Not recommendedADC-V530
A 4MP indoor camera with a motorised privacy shutter and an Ethernet option, which is the best hardware in the indoor range. The stream is still Alarm.com's alone, so Home Assistant cannot use it.
Not recommendedADC-V729 / ADC-V729AC
A 4MP outdoor floodlight camera with up to 3,000 lumens of dual LED lighting and a strobe mode. Both the camera and the light are driven from Alarm.com only, with no local control.
Not recommendedADC-V730
A 4MP outdoor Wi-Fi camera with a spotlight for colour night vision and onboard microSD recording. The card is encrypted to Alarm.com, so local storage does not mean local access.
Not recommendedADC-V731B
A 4MP battery-powered indoor or outdoor spotlight camera with a removable pack and solar charging. Wire-free siting, but the same closed platform, and no onboard recording at all.
Not recommendedADC-VACC-BAT-2LIB18650
The spare rechargeable pack for the ADC-V731B battery camera, so a swap replaces a recharge. Accessory to a camera with no Home Assistant path.
Not recommendedADC-VACC-SP4W
A 4W solar panel for keeping the ADC-V731B battery camera topped up. A sensible accessory, tied to a camera we would not specify.
Not recommendedADC-VC729P
The PoE commercial version of the 4MP floodlight camera, powered and cabled like any other network camera but licensed to Alarm.com for Business, with no ONVIF for anything else.
Not recommendedADC-VC730P
The PoE commercial 4MP spotlight camera, giving colour night video over a single Cat5e run. Recordings go to an Alarm.com recorder or an encrypted SD card, neither readable locally.
Not recommendedADC-VC7398PA
The varifocal 8MP Prism bullet, the long-throw counterpart to the 8498PA dome. Same PoE cabling and the same closed Alarm.com for Business platform.
Not recommendedADC-VC827P
A 1080p indoor and outdoor PoE dome on 802.3af, supporting 24/7 recording and Alarm.com's business analytics. Conventional hardware, but reachable only from the Alarm.com platform.
Not recommendedADC-VC8295P
A 5MP fixed dome in the Prism commercial line. Enterprise-grade hardware on ordinary PoE cabling, provisioned against an Alarm.com for Business account and closed to everything else.
Not recommendedADC-VC838PF
A 4MP varifocal turret on 802.3af or 12VDC, with the full business analytics set including people counting, heat mapping and queue monitoring. All of it licensed to Alarm.com.
Not recommendedADC-VC8498P
An 8MP fixed dome in the Prism line, for commercial areas that need detail across a wide scene. PoE cabling, Alarm.com licensing, no ONVIF path off the camera.
Not recommendedADC-VC8498PA
The varifocal 8MP Prism dome, with the lens set on site rather than fixed at manufacture. Top of the commercial range, and still available only through Alarm.com for Business.
Not recommendedADC-VDB750
The standard Design Studio doorbell, 2MP with an unusually wide 165-degree view. Wi-Fi, and locked to the Alarm.com service, so neither the picture nor the button press reaches Home Assistant.
Not recommendedADC-VDB755P
Alarm.com's first PoE doorbell, powered from a switch or one of their recorders rather than a doorbell transformer. Standard cabling, but the stream is still Alarm.com's alone.
Not recommendedADC-VDB775
The premium wired doorbell in the range at 4MP, sold in the same finishes as the 750. Same closed video platform, so it is no more reachable from Home Assistant than the cheaper model.
Not recommendedADC-VDB780B
The battery doorbell, running on a 9,540mAh pack with no wiring at all. It will not join the house Wi-Fi: it has to associate to an Alarm.com access point, and it needs a video plan on top.
Not recommendedADC-W114C
The earlier Wi-Fi doorbell chime and camera extender, superseded by the ADC-W115C. Same closed pairing to Alarm.com doorbells.
Not recommendedADC-W115C
The wireless chime for Alarm.com doorbells, which doubles as an access point for their cameras. The usual host for the battery doorbell, and inert to anything but Alarm.com.
Climate
4 devicesADC-T2000
The first-generation Alarm.com thermostat, superseded by the ADC-T3000 but still on the wall in plenty of homes. It is Z-Wave Plus, so Z-Wave JS drives mode, setpoints, and fan locally once it is out of the dealer's panel.
ADC-T25
Alarm.com's cost-reduced current thermostat, and the only one in the range that speaks Z-Wave Long Range as well as mesh. Z-Wave Plus with S2 and SmartStart, so Home Assistant drives it locally through Z-Wave JS.
ADC-T3000
Second-generation Alarm.com thermostat that is a plain Z-Wave Plus S2 device under the branding. Excluded from the dealer's panel and included in Z-Wave JS, Home Assistant drives mode, setpoints, fan, and the humidifier outputs locally with no Alarm.com account in the path.
ADC-T40K-HD
The current flagship Alarm.com thermostat, and a Z-Wave Plus S2 device with SmartStart underneath the branding. Excluded from a dealer panel and included in Z-Wave JS, Home Assistant runs mode, setpoints, fan, and the humidity outputs locally.
Hubs & Gateways
2 devicesADC-SG130
A tabletop access point that exists to give Alarm.com cameras a Wi-Fi network of their own, separate from the household one. Single-band 2.4GHz, useful inside that ecosystem and pointless outside it.
Not recommendedADC-W110
A small bridge that puts a PoE-powered Alarm.com camera onto Wi-Fi where no data cable reaches. Solves an Alarm.com cabling problem and nothing else.
Other
2 devicesADC-CC100
An OBD-II dongle with LTE and GPS that puts a vehicle on the Alarm.com app for location, tow alerts and driving behaviour. Cellular only, with no local or Home Assistant path.
Not recommendedADC-SDS1000
The patented handheld tester that verifies an ADC-SDS2001 sensor without live fire. Commissioning equipment, with no smart home role.
