Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, LLC, a portfolio company of Altas Partners, Leonard Green & Partners, GIC, and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, acquired The Alarm Group. The Alarm Group (TAG) offers advanced security solutions focused on residential and commercial applications through its core product, the Lyric system. This system integrates various functionalities including security monitoring, thermostat control, and management of cameras, lights, and locks, allowing users to maintain their environment seamlessly.

The intuitive design is tailored for ease of use, enabling control through a touchscreen interface or voice commands, which eliminates the need for complex programming and schedules. TAG's services also encompass professional monitoring with 24/7 oversight via a cellular radio network, ensuring reliable protection for clients' properties. The company's offerings are marketed primarily in urban and suburban areas across the United States, catering to a diverse range of clients from homeowners to business owners seeking comprehensive security solutions. TAG generates revenue through subscription-based monitoring services and the sale of its security systems, such as the Lyric system, which is a key product in their portfolio.

Clients typically engage in an initial purchase of the security system, followed by an ongoing monthly fee for monitoring services. This structure supports both direct-to-consumer and B2B transactions, catering to individuals and businesses alike. The company’s pricing plans encompass tiered options based on the level of service required, including professional monitoring and equipment packages, ensuring scalability to meet the needs of various customer segments. Such a transaction model positions TAG to effectively address the growing demand for integrated security solutions while establishing long-term relationships with its clientele.

In January 2026, The Alarm Group was acquired by Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, LLC, a portfolio company of Altas Partners, Leonard Green & Partners, GIC, and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
