Alarm.com has reported growth in demand for AI-driven security solutions in Australia amidst rising crime rates, particularly in Victoria and New South Wales.

According to Victorian crime statistics, theft offences have escalated by 41,675 incidents over a year, totalling 208,758. Property and deception offences have similarly increased by 19.2%, reaching 332,342 incidents. In New South Wales, motor vehicle thefts have risen by 12.5%, and break-ins have reached a four-year high.

Ian Law, General Manager Australia at Alarm.com, said, "Security is more than technology—it's about empowering people to protect what matters most. We're proud to partner with Australian businesses to deliver smarter, safer solutions."

Alarm.com's security solutions include AI-driven Smart Arming, which automatically activates systems based on inactivity, and video doorbells that capture suspicious behaviour for real-time alerts. Additional features include comprehensive integration with smart locks, lighting, and climate control, providing users with a cohesive security experience.

Partnering with several companies in Australia, Alarm.com has shown significant growth. ADT Australia has seen over 36,000 activations. Chubb Fire & Security has reported a doubling of activations from the first to the second quarter and a further 10% increase in the third quarter.

Christopher Gray, Operations Manager at Chubb Fire & Security, said, "We're seeing steady growth across residential markets nationwide, driven by Alarm.com's innovative solutions."

BluSky is another major player utilising Alarm.com technology in the commercial sector, providing clients with enhanced security solutions. A BluSky representative noted, "Our clients rely on smart security solutions that not only deter crime but also optimise operational efficiencies."

Watchdog has made strides in servicing regional and SME markets with Alarm.com's security solutions, particularly in areas experiencing rising break-ins. "We've seen increased demand for AI-driven security features, especially in areas experiencing rising break-ins," remarked a spokesperson from Watchdog.

The surge in criminal activities and the economic pressures Australians face influence the need for advanced and affordable security systems. Alarm.com remains committed to addressing these requirements through continuous innovation, partnership expansion, and improving customer experience.
