A phone controlling a rental home's locks, cameras, and thermostat

For Airbnb & VRBO Hosts

Rent It Out Without Handing Over the Keys.

Guests get simple coded entry. You see what matters from anywhere in the world.

  • Guest codes, not lockboxes
  • Guest-proof energy rules
  • Eyes on the outside only

Plenty of our hosts live in another state; some live in another country. What they need isn't really an alarm. They need to see the house and run it from wherever they live. Guests get simple coded entry, you see what matters from your phone, and the house takes care of itself between bookings. Every host knows the math: people comp nights they shouldn't just to dodge one bad review. The fix isn't giving away the margin. It's having the record.

Guest Codes, Not Lockboxes

Every guest, cleaner, and contractor gets their own time-boxed code, logged by name. No key handoffs, no lockbox on the door handle, no wondering who's inside.

Access Control & Smart Locks

Energy Rules That Protect the Margin

Guest-proof thermostat set-points, and rules that shut the AC off when a door stays open — just like a hotel. Units stop freezing up, filters stop clogging, and the electric bill stops surprising you.

Eyes on the Outside

Doorbell and exterior cameras (never inside guest spaces) watch arrivals, the driveway, and the pool equipment people love to tamper with.

Cameras & Video Surveillance

Know What's Happening — From Anywhere

Who's in the house, what the thermostat is doing, whether the garage opened at 2 AM — on your phone, wherever you are in the world.

Damage & Environmental Protection

Alerts That Run the Turnover

Know when housekeeping's code is used before a back-to-back booking. Get a low-battery warning before a guest gets a dead lock. Small alerts, big saves.

Monitoring & Response

Property Awareness, in Practice

The Thermostat Log That Ended an $800 Dispute.

A guest checked out after a week and demanded a refund — claimed the upstairs AC never worked, and threatened the bad review every host dreads.

The owner asked us to look. The system log showed the guest had switched the thermostat to “off” two hours after check-in and never touched it again.

Electronic proof, dispute closed: no comped nights, no service call, no bad review — in peak season that's easily $1,200–1,500 kept. A real ALS customer's case, told the way Arthur tells it.

How It Starts

First, We Walk the Property.

Every system starts with a custom design and a property walkthrough — your entries, your sightlines, how your days actually run. No obligation, nothing off a shelf.

Everything after that is backed by the ALS guarantees: no contracts, you own the equipment, and a 100% money-back guarantee if you're not happy.

Questions People Actually Ask

Asked Every Week.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. We don't do contracts — everything ongoing is month to month. That's it. It's the question we get asked most, and it's the easiest one to answer.

What if I change my mind after the install?

We have a 100% money-back guarantee. If you're not happy, we take everything out, patch every hole we made, and refund your invoice.

Is professional monitoring required?

No. It's your choice. Plenty of customers want 24/7 central-station response and keep it because it's month to month — others self-monitor from their phone. Either way we set the system up just as carefully.

What about false alarms?

Modern systems make them rare. Your code at the smart lock disarms the alarm as you walk in, so there's no keypad fumble. And if an alarm does trip, video verification can confirm what happened before anyone gets dispatched.

What does a system cost?

It depends on the property — that's an honest answer, not a dodge. Call and tell us what you've got, and we'll give you a straight ballpark before anyone drives anywhere. After the free walkthrough you get an exact quote on equipment you own. No “starting at” games, and the monthly rate never goes up.

Do you put alarms in vacation rentals?

Only when it fits. Most rental owners actually need automation and awareness: coded guest access, thermostat rules, leak sensors, and exterior cameras. Where an alarm makes sense, our lock-integrated setup avoids the false-alarm mess that scares most owners off. Unlike the big alarm companies, we don't require central-station monitoring. The system can sound, alert you or your manager, and log the event without anyone dispatching police on a guest's morning coffee run.
