The Alarm.com platform works in the background to analyze system data and learn the normal activity patterns of a property. The system can then send notifications whenever unusual activity occurs in a home or business. Unexpected Activity notifications are intended to provide information only. These alerts are not a replacement or substitute for life safety monitoring features. 

If you have Unexpected Activity Alerts on your service package, this notification is automatically created and can be enabled/disabled but cannot be deleted. If you do not see the following options to configure Unexpected Activity Alerts, contact your service provider for more information. 

Note: The Unexpected Activity Alert feature requires 30 days of activity before it can start generating alerts. Therefore, new accounts or accounts that reset the Unexpected Activity Alert notification must wait 30 days before Unexpected Activity Alert notifications are generated. 

To configure Unexpected Activity Alerts using the website:  

Note: For Enterprise locations, Unexpected Activity Alerts must be configured from the Enterprise group using an admin login. Unexpected Activity Alerts that are configured from the Enterprise group will apply to all locations within the Enterprise group. For more information about locations within an Enterprise group, see Move/remove a location from a group.
