Integrated Lighting

Next time you’re driving through your neighborhood at night, take a good look around. You’ll notice homes that appear dark and unattended and others that illuminate from within, with beautifully landscaped lighting that brightens the exterior. 

Which home do you think a thief would target? Control4 lighting solutions automatically turn on lights when sunset arrives, regardless of changing seasons and daylight saving time. 

When integrated with your security system, a triggered alarm can cause your home's outdoor and indoor lights to flash repeatedly, bringing attention to your home and scaring away any potential burglars. In addition, your TVs can automatically start streaming your security cameras, so you can see what’s occurring from anywhere in the house. 

Mockupancy

Deter intruders when you’re away by making your home look occupied. Control4 helps you accomplish this by turning your lights and TVs on and off throughout the day, just as if you were home. 

Remote Alert

Our certified WSC Home Audio Video technicians can program the system to send alerts tailored to your specific needs. For example, would you like to know when your children get home from school? You'll receive an alert and can then spend a few minutes checking in with them via the video surveillance cameras and a two-way intercom. 

You can also receive a notification when there's a water leak in the basement, unusual movement detected in the backyard, and any unauthorized access. 

Smart Security Cameras

When someone arrives at your front door, the video doorbell will alert you no matter where you are in the world. You can see who’s arrived, chat with them through the intercom, and, if warranted, unlock the door and invite them in. 

You can also see what’s going on in the home. Are your children being cared for by someone new? See what’s happening via your in-home cameras and use your smartphone to call any Control4 in-wall touchscreen in the home.  

Stay Notified

When your security system is integrated with Control4 home automation, you can check the locks on your windows, doors, garage, and gates from across town or across the world. Did someone leave home and forget to lock the back door. The lapse will show up on your home automation system, and you'll be able to lock the door with one touch on your tablet or smartphone.

Smart Alarms

When integrated with your smart home, your alarms do more than alert you when there’s a fire or dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. The system can automatically trigger your motorized windows to open, bringing in the fresh air. In case of a fire, it can shut off the HVAC system to limit the spread of smoke.  

Control4 integrates with over 14,000 third-party devices, delivering a seamless smart and secure home. Arm the security system, engage the locks, and turn on the front porch and foyer lights with one tap.
