Control4 automation and control solutions get more surveillance camera and network video recorder (NVR) support following the implementation of the Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP) by 5 security vendors.
The companies in question are LILIN, Channel Vision, Planet, QNAP and Snap AV.
Surveillance camera and NVR integration within a Control4 system provides customers with remote property viewing via smartphones and tablets. It also adds the Control4 4Sight service, with automatic response triggers according to "actions" (such as text alerts if a person approaches the door or flashing lights if the door is opened late at night) identified by security cameras.
Homeowners can also check camera footage and remotely command the home from their mobile devices.
“We’ve seen a significant uptick in the integration of security and surveillance into Control4 systems in recent years-— in fact, a growing percentage of all Control4 projects now include some form of security," the company says. “With the expanded support for surveillance cameras and NVRs, Control4 customers can work with their dealers to develop a customised, integrated security solution to monitor and protect their homes, families and businesses.”
