One-Touch Arm & Disarm
Arm Away as you walk out, or disarm as you pull into the driveway, all with a single press.
Callaway Security offers a remote control key fob with four billion codes that never repeat. Our key fob works with virtually any alarm manufacturer’s control panel through the data bus (as listed in the compatibility chart), uses no zones in data mode and will provide AWAY, STAY, DISARM and PANIC output. Once you connect the data lines, the encryptor will automatically self configure after it auto-detects the alarm panel.
Not everyone wants to remember a code or pull out their phone every time they walk in the door. Callaway Security & Sound adds Alarm.com key fobs to your system so anyone in the house or on your team can arm, disarm, or trigger a panic alert with a single press, no app, no code, no Wi-Fi required.
Each fob is registered to your system individually, so every arm, disarm, or panic press shows up in your activity feed under that person's name. No shared code, no guessing who came and went.
Arm Away, Arm Stay, Disarm, or hold the panic button, whatever the moment calls for.
Your system reacts instantly, the same as if the action was entered on the keypad or in the app.
The action appears in your Alarm.com activity feed with a timestamp and the name tied to that fob.
Small device, big convenience. Here's what a key fob brings to your existing security system.
Arm Away as you walk out, or disarm as you pull into the driveway, all with a single press.
Arm just the doors and windows while you're still home, without touching a screen.
A press-and-hold panic button sends an immediate signal to the monitoring center in an emergency.
Great for kids, grandparents, or anyone who'd rather not memorize a PIN under pressure.
No app, no charging, no signal needed. It just works, every time you press it.
Every fob is registered separately, so each press is logged by name in your Alarm.com activity feed.
A key fob doesn't replace your keypad or app, it gives you a faster option for the moments that call for it.
| Scenario | Keypad or App Only | With a Key Fob |
|---|---|---|
| Hands Full With Groceries | Set everything down to disarm | One press from your keychain |
| Kids or Grandparents | Have to remember a code | Press a single button, no code needed |
| Phone Dead or No Signal | App is unusable | Fob still works, no battery or Wi-Fi needed |
| Emergency Situation | Requires unlocking phone or reaching keypad | Press and hold the panic button instantly |
Most households and businesses use fobs alongside a keypad and the app, not instead of them, so everyone has the option that works best for them in the moment.
Anyone who'd rather press a button than remember a code or pull out their phone.
Answers to what customers ask us most about key fobs.
Most key fobs let you arm the system Away or Stay, disarm it, and trigger a panic alert, all with a single button press, no code or app required.
Pressing and holding the panic button for a few seconds sends an emergency signal directly to the monitoring center, the same as any other panic alarm on your system.
Yes. Each fob operates independently, so you can hand one out without ever revealing your personal code, and remove it from the system if it's ever lost.
Yes. Each fob is registered separately, so every arm, disarm, or panic event shows up in your Alarm.com activity feed labeled with that specific fob.
No. A key fob communicates directly with your panel over its own wireless signal, so it works without an app, Wi-Fi, or a charged phone.
That specific fob can be removed from your system at any time, so it stops working immediately without affecting any other fobs, codes, or the rest of your system.
We'll help you figure out how many fobs make sense for your household or team, and get you a clear quote before anything is installed.
