AUTOMATION

Welcome to the world of the perfectly automated home. A home that keeps you and your family entertained, comfortable and secure. A place where your every whim is executed at the touch of a button. Here’s an example of life in your smart home: Your day begins. Your favorite music plays in the background, the thermostat in the house adjusts to 23 degrees, and the shades rise letting in the sun, all automatically. From your iPhone, iPad or Android device, you turn on the entertainment system to check the weather while you enjoy breakfast. As you leave the house, you press the button marked “away”. The entertainment system goes to sleep, the house lighting adjusts and the security system wakes to keep a watchful eye while you are gone. The proper conditions are ready for you when you return home. One touch of the button on your phone activates landscape and interior lighting, and sets the proper temperature. Once inside, music follows you throughout your home. A quick glance at your smartphone shows that all environmental and security settings are exactly as you desire.

LIFE SAFETY SYSTEMS

AV Design’s industry-leading ‘alarm’ systems offer a full range of detection and reporting capabilities, including burglar alarms, fire, carbon monoxide, medical emergencies, high/low temperatures, and enhanced safety with integrated door locks. Any incident notifications are shared via keypad alerts, phone calls, emails and text messages. Our intrusion systems link to lighting control to flash specific lights if an event is detected.

SMART ANALYTIC CAMERAS

Prevent incidents – don’t wait until it’s too late. Whether you are at home or away, we go beyond simple cameras. We integrate smart cameras and program them to detect unwanted activity. When an intruder or other unauthorized movement occurs, the cameras ‘notify’ the alarm system which contacts you and the authorities. We utilize the best surveillance equipment available to maximize picture quality and reliability. Get added peace of mind knowing that your home has extra ‘eyes’ and the ‘intelligence’ to act on your behalf.

NETWORKS AND WIFI

Speed and bandwidth matter. Streaming Netflix, kids on YouTube, Facetime video calls… we expect to see what we want, when we want. With your household carrying 10, 20 or more devices AND your security cameras, smart lights and automation system… carrying the ‘load’ requires an enterprise-grade network with enough ‘headroom’ so you are ready for today and the future. Larger home? Coverage is critical, indoors and outside. Leave it to our team of networks experts to get the right result.

LIGHTING, SHADE AND CLIMATE CONTROL

We integrate climate, shade and lighting control into a unified, programmed and intelligent system capable of reducing your carbon footprint, while enhancing comfort, privacy and safety. Preset ‘scenes’ run during the day and night based on your usage, weather, season, and occupancy requirements. You can easily modify settings to adjust temperature, humidity, or radiant heat for a room or zone. Modify the fireplace, gas lamps, or adjust the motorized shades and dim lights together with one button.

ADVANCED ACCESS CONTROL

Not only does our access entry systems provide the doorbell chime on the house phone or residents’ mobile devices, you can view and talk to the visitor and unlock the door remotely. We can include a facial reader, fingerprint or RFID and touch-displays to enhance access control and allow you to interface with other systems, achieving even higher site security.
