Security
The Security section lets you view or control security systems, door stations,
security cameras, locks, and sensors. Your Control4 Dealer must set up your
system to work with any installed cameras.
Viewing a camera
If you have security cameras, you can view their video feeds one at a time or
several at once. You can add up to eight cameras per page for Control4 for PC,
10 cameras per page for touch screens, and up to 18 cameras per page for TV
display.
Cameras can be installed anywhere you need to monitor activity, from outside
entrances and pools to the garage or the baby’s room. You can also position a
camera to look at the main entrance from several feet away, so you don’t have
to rely on the Door Station’s forward-facing camera. You can even define a live
webcam on the Internet (such as a trac cam) as a “camera” to monitor.
To view a camera’s video:
1 From your Control4 home page, select Security, then select Cameras.
Thumbnail views of each camera are displayed.
2 Select a camera to view.
• To use camera controls or views (if supported), select More.
• To display the camera view full screen, select Full Screen.
Using a Door Station
Use the Intercom icon (top of menu) to manage your door stations and
touch screens. See “Intercom” later in this guide.
Controlling your security system
To manage your security system:
1 From your Control4 home page, select Security, then select Security
System.
2 View and use the device controls or presets. (Available features depend on
the security system that’s installed.)
Refer to your security system provider’s instructions for more information
about your security system’s settings.
