The alarmM is a native android application which takes the advantage of all the power the existing native Android application and hardware. The alarmM is fully integrated with Message (SMS), Phone, Camera, Internet, Sound, People Contact and Calendar.

Compare with cloud smart alarm:Cloud alarm comes with minimum hardware features and maximum monthly subscription. They usually do not offer the video capability in their standard installation. Cloud alarm system is monitoring your home through their own server. This clouding is breaking down your privacy. This architecture is easy to break because it rely on three actors to be setup and running at the same time (your internet provider, the cloud server and the SMS gateway). On the contrary android phone can natively send SMS, Email and connect to internet. There is no need to have heavy and costly intermediate. This architecture is strong because it provides the three level of independent protection (basic protection is email, medium protection is peer to peer and advance protection is GSM). | ||
