Shooter Detection Systems, a subsidiary of Alarm.com Holdings, announced the commercial availability of its SDS Perimeter Outdoor Gunshot Detection System, a first‑of‑its‑kind solution that extends the company’s proven gunshot detection technology from interior spaces to exterior environments such as parking lots, campuses, and public venues.
The system was released after a successful beta‑testing program and is designed to provide earlier threat awareness for outdoor areas. It can be integrated into Alarm.com’s existing platform, allowing service providers to bundle the new capability with its SaaS‑based security and automation solutions for residential and commercial customers.
Alarm.com’s recent financial results give context to the launch. In Q4 2025 the company reported non‑GAAP adjusted earnings per share of $0.72, beating analyst expectations of $0.66 by $0.06 and a 9% beat in revenue, which reached $261.7 million versus the $250.8 million consensus. The company’s SaaS and license revenue grew 8.8% to $180.2 million, and total revenue increased 8.0% to $261.7 million, reflecting strong demand in its commercial security and energy‑management segments.
Management highlighted the launch as part of a broader strategy to expand into outdoor security markets, noting that the acquisition of Shooter Detection Systems in December 2020 positioned Alarm.com to address a growing need for public‑safety technology. CEO Stephen Trundle emphasized that the new platform would complement the company’s differentiated SaaS model and support the 25% share of SaaS revenue that came from commercial security in 2025, a segment that grew about 25% year‑over‑year.
The company raised its full‑year 2026 guidance, projecting SaaS and license revenue of $743.0 million to $745.0 million and total revenue of $1.058 billion to $1.065 billion, both above the consensus estimates of $1.0 billion. Non‑GAAP adjusted EPS guidance was lifted to $2.78–$2.79 from the prior $2.47, signaling confidence in continued margin expansion and recurring revenue growth.
The outdoor gunshot detection launch is expected to broaden Alarm.com’s addressable market and enhance its competitive positioning in the connected‑property and security solutions space, where demand for advanced public‑safety technology is rising. By integrating the new system into its platform, Alarm.com can offer a more comprehensive safety solution to a wider range of customers, potentially driving incremental revenue and strengthening its foothold in both residential and commercial markets.
