Alarm.com Acquires CHeKT, a Leader in Proactive Video Monitoring Solutions
Acquisition Strengthens Alarm.com's Remote Video Monitoring Offering
Alarm.com (NASDAQ:ALRM), the leading platform for the intelligently connected property, today announced a majority-stake acquisition of CHeKT, a leading cloud platform for remote video monitoring (RVM) services. CHeKT's enterprise-ready platform includes subscription-based RVM services that enable central stations and service providers to deliver high-value, proactive, crime-stopping solutions to commercial and residential subscribers.
CHeKT has cultivated a robust partner base, and the acquisition strengthens Alarm.com's market opportunity in the emerging professional video monitoring space. CHeKT's intuitive control room operator interface enables proactive video verification and response capabilities, allowing central station operators to evaluate video alarm events quickly and accurately.
CHeKT's RVM solution is already embedded into many central stations and offers compatibility with many different video camera brands and other security products. CHeKT will continue to operate independently, and the Alarm.com video solution and the OpenEye enterprise video solution will be fully integrated into CHeKT's control room software. With the addition of CHeKT, Alarm.com's service provider partners can deliver an RVM solution to protect any property type.
"CHeKT is a pioneer and a leader in the RVM space," said Jeff Bedell, Alarm.com's President of Ventures Business and Corporate Strategy. "CHeKT's deep industry experience has allowed them to design a comprehensive product that fits in seamlessly with monitoring station workflows. Their technology has attracted an impressive roster of partners, and we look forward to building on that momentum with the CHeKT team."
"We're excited to take CHeKT to the next level with Alarm.com," said Wes Usie, President and Founder of CHeKT. "We built the CHeKT platform to help professional security providers deliver a unique and crucial video security solution to their customers. No company delivers on that vision as comprehensively as Alarm.com, making it an ideal outcome for CHeKT to continue to evolve and expand our solutions with them."
Financial terms were not disclosed.
