Connected safety solutions are important because they offer the ability to monitor in real time and drive faster response times during moments of danger or crisis. To further enhance the goal to protect people, Alarm.com (News - Alert) has announced a majority-stake acquisition of Noonlight.
Noonlight’s next-gen connected safety and event management platform has over 3.5 million app users and provides a context-aware event management and emergency response for a range of IoT device vendors. Its 24/7 professional sensor monitoring, video monitoring, and data-rich emergency response offerings allow end users to quickly get help in any situation, without requiring a 911 call or the ability to talk or text.
Noonlight will continue to operate independently and its current management team will continue to lead the business from its headquarters in St. Louis, Mo.
“We’re thrilled to join the Alarm.com family,” said Zach Winkler, CEO of Noonlight. “They have a unique and successful history of majority-stake acquisitions – empowering innovative companies to continue to operate as an independent business and brand, while still benefiting from Alarm.com’s industry know-how, reputation, expansive resources, networks, and leadership team.”
Alarm.com’s platform for connected properties is used by millions of consumers and businesses to manage and control their property with security, video, access control, intelligent automation, energy management, and wellness solutions.
“Noonlight is a demonstrated leader in the personal safety and emergency response space and we’re pleased to bring their entrepreneurial team and leadership into the Alarm.com family,” said Jeff Bedell, Alarm.com’s Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer.
Alarm.com will leverage its existing technology and customer base to continue to expand Noonlight’s business. The two companies have synergistic objectives to protect people through advanced technology, making this a logical combination.
