Alarm.com extends intelligent video protection to More Entryways with new battery-powered 781B. Wire-free video doorbell brings intelligent video, relevant alerts, and proactive deterrence to entryways where traditional doorbells aren't practical Published on 10/06/2026 at 06:15 am EDT Business Wire Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM), the leading platform for intelligently connected properties, today announced the Alarm.com 781B Battery Video Doorbell, giving homeowners and businesses a new way to bring video security to entryways throughout their properties. Alarm.com announces the release of the Alarm.com 781B Battery Video Doorbell (ADC-VDB781B). The 781B combines a rechargeable battery, Wi-Fi connectivity, and intelligent video capabilities in a doorbell designed for locations without existing doorbell wiring. Customers can install the 781B at a front door, side door, back door, detached garage, gate, shed, or other entryway where running new wiring may be impractical. As part of the Alarm.com platform, the doorbell works alongside the broader connected property system, unlocking a range of intelligent features that go beyond basic video coverage. "The 781B brings intelligent video, proactive deterrence, and connected actions to more entryways," said Dan Kerzner, President of Platforms Business at Alarm.com. "It gives our service providers another strong wireless option for delivering comprehensive video coverage across a property." Intelligent Awareness at More Entryways A square 1:1 view captures visitors from head to toe, while Advanced Video Analytics can identify people, animals, vehicles, and packages to help deliver more relevant alerts. As the first Alarm.com battery video doorbell to offer animal and vehicle detection, the 781B helps customers distinguish different types of activity around their property. Familiar Face Analytics can recognize up to five familiar people and support customized notifications, while Package Alerts help customers stay aware of deliveries and removals of packages. When a response is needed, customers can interact with visitors remotely through crisp two-way audio and Call Screen Actions, allowing them to unlock doors, turn on lights, and more through the Alarm.com platform without leaving the doorbell screen. For unwanted visitors, Perimeter Guard(R) combines attention-grabbing lights and audio alerts with the ability to trigger connected lights throughout the property. AI Deterrence can also deliver AI-generated verbal warnings when a person is detected at the door. Flexible Protection Without Doorbell Wiring The 781B is designed to make video protection possible in more locations without requiring an existing doorbell power source. Its battery-powered, Wi-Fi-connected design allows customers to install the doorbell where traditional wired models may not be an option without requiring connection to a hub or base station. Specially designed Energy Saver Video Analytics help conserve battery power during periods of inactivity. When it's time to recharge, the removable battery can be swapped out, or customers can use optional wiring for continuous trickle charging. The removable universal rechargeable battery is also compatible with the Alarm.com Volt Series(TM) V731B Battery Camera, giving customers a common battery solution across compatible devices and a simpler way to expand battery-powered video throughout a property. Designed for Everyday Security From monitoring a side entrance to keeping an eye on packages delivered near a garage, the 781B extends the role of the video doorbell beyond the front door. Customers can see activity, communicate with visitors, and respond to unexpected activity from the Alarm.com platform, wherever the doorbell is installed. The 781B also supports Bluetooth(R) Enrollment, designed to make device setup faster and easier for service providers. Availability The 781B is compatible with a range of Alarm.com residential and commercial video service packages, with feature availability varying by service package.

Hi-Tech Integrated Systems in Asheville: connect CCTV, alarms, and smart-home control. A security project becomes easier to evaluate when cameras, alarms, and home controls are treated as connected decisions rather than a single equipment list. Hi-Tech Integrated Systems is listed as a Smart Home Security Installer in Asheville, with its public record showing 20 Fore Rd, Asheville, NC 28806. Its official website presents security systems and cameras alongside home automation, theaters, and lighting control. That combination makes the central question less about buying the most devices and more about defining how the property should be observed, alerted, and controlled. Start with the event the system must explain. Before discussing a camera count, the property owner should identify the moments that matter. Is the goal to see who approached a front door, review activity around a driveway, receive an alarm notification, or manage entry for household members? These answers affect camera placement, image quality, alarm zones, and access-control decisions. A written site review should distinguish an identification view from a general overview. It should also note lighting changes, likely blind spots, privacy-sensitive areas, and the locations where a phone alert would be useful. Use Hi-Tech's published integration scope as a conversation starter. Hi-Tech Integrated Systems' official website says it installs wired and wireless security hardware integrated with Alarm.com and describes app-based access to the security system and security cameras. The same page names Control4 and ELAN for smart-home systems, including control of security, audio, video, shades, and lighting. Those are useful facts to bring into a quote discussion, but they are not a substitute for a project-specific design. The owner should ask which proposed components will work together, which app handles each function, and whether the existing network and electrical conditions are suitable. Keep CCTV and alarm detection in separate lanes. CCTV answers a visual question: what happened in a particular area, and what detail can the recording actually show? An alarm answers a detection question: which sensor changed state, and what notification or response follows? Combining both can improve the information available after an event, but the two systems still need separate scopes. A quote should identify camera locations, recording or cloud-storage arrangements, retention terms, night-vision expectations, and user permissions. For the alarm side, it should specify sensor types, arming modes, notification paths, and any monitoring arrangement rather than assuming that an app connection equals professional monitoring. Decide whether access control belongs in the project. Residential security may only require controlled entry at exterior doors, while a home office, workshop, or shared property can create a more detailed access question. Access control should therefore be described in operating terms: who receives access, how access is removed, what happens if a credential is lost, and whether a door event should appear with camera footage. If a smart-home platform is part of the plan, the owner should ask whether door locks, lighting, cameras, and alarms can be managed together without making basic security functions difficult to use during an internet or power interruption. Turn the Asheville address into a verification step. The published local record places Hi-Tech Integrated Systems at 20 Fore Rd, Asheville, NC 28806, and lists +1 828-252-6001. Those details provide a direct starting point for confirming current service scope, scheduling, and the right contact for a site assessment. The company's official website is http://hi-techsystems.com/. Before relying on any online description, the property owner should confirm whether the requested installation is currently offered at the specific address and whether the project involves new wiring, replacement equipment, or integration with an existing system. Compare the written scope, not just the device names. A useful proposal should make the system understandable after the sales conversation ends. Look for a floor plan or location list, equipment model families, installation assumptions, configuration work, user-training arrangements, and exclusions. Ask how software updates, password ownership, camera access, alarm testing, and future additions are handled. Warranty, service, monitoring, and cancellation terms should be stated in writing rather than inferred from a brand name. It is also worth asking what the system can still do locally if the internet connection is unavailable. Hi-Tech Integrated Systems' combination of security systems, cameras, and smart-home control gives Asheville property owners a focused set of topics to investigate. The strongest decision will come from matching each device to a defined security question, then confirming integration, operating limits, and written terms directly with the installer. That process produces a clearer comparison than choosing by camera count or a broad promise of peace of mind. Adjacent intel
