Notable Features

Depending on your needs, you can have a variety of cameras. Some camera models have specific uses, like doorbell models. Cameras like Control4’s video doorbell give you video and audio capability so you can answer the door whether you are elsewhere in the house or across the country. If you have a package delivered or need to give instructions, this type of camera keeps an eye on your entries and let you manage visitors.

Outdoor-rated cameras are designed to withstand rain, heat, and cold. They are best for keeping an eye on your property, whether at a gated entry, your backyard, or the house's perimeter. Most modern cameras have motion sensing and night vision capabilities. These features are not created equal, so if they are particularly important to you, we can guide you to the best models for each purpose.

Two-way audio is another newer capability that may be of interest in certain areas of your property. Inside, you can use it to communicate with a child at home or even to tell the dog to get off the sofa! From a security standpoint, if an intruder gets in your house and you're notified of the movement, you can shout a warning that the police have been called and that they've been recorded. That should give a perpetrator pause to continue!

Continuous Surveillance

A step up from recording events with motion detection is continuous recording. For properties that require a higher level of security, you might want to have video footage recorded whenever you're not at home – or even when you are if you have a large property. These systems typically store footage on a networked video recorder, which has a high capacity computer hard disk that can save thousands of footage hours. The newest systems have advanced features for the detection of people, animals, vehicles, and more. Should an incident occur, you can quickly get to specific events amid large amounts of recorded footage and determine what needs to be done. 

Depending on your needs, a variety of continuous recording cameras can be used. Bullet style cameras work well for monitoring specific outdoor areas, and dome cameras with wide viewing angles can be employed discreetly in indoor areas you might want to watch. Your video footage can stay on your system at home, but you can monitor a live camera view or see an incident on your smartphone from anywhere with internet connectivity.
