Complete Your Design & Build Projects with Remote Access Control

A Smarter, More Sophisticated Approach to Home Security   

Nowadays, new luxury homes are expected to include some form of smart technology. From security systems to multi-room audio, home automation is the future, and home builders, architects, and interior designers should incorporate it into their services to stay ahead of the curve. 

If your clients are building or renovating multi-million dollar homes, they’ll want to protect their property and assets. Remote access control allows homeowners to check on and manage their security system and technologies from anywhere, whether they’re across town or jetting off across the globe. 

Here’s how remote access works and why partnering with a home technology integrator is a smart move for your Fort Worth, TX, projects.

To Start, What Is Remote Access?

Remote access is a feature of smart home systems that allows homeowners to remotely control their technologies from any location. One of our preferred home control brands, Control4, works like the brain of the house and connects to all subsystems, from HVAC to entertainment. Once everything is integrated into the Control4 system, residents can control and automate their devices with a tap on their smartphone, tablet, or voice command. 

What Can Be Controlled Remotely? 

With a system as sophisticated as Control4, there’s no limit to what can be controlled remotely. In fact, Control4 is compatible with up to 14,000 third-party devices! 

Homeowners can use the Control4 system to access smart lighting, motorized shading, smart thermostats, air and water purification, audio, video, home theaters, pool controls, surveillance cameras, alarms, motion sensors, doors locks—and even more. If your clients can dream it, Control4 can most likely do it. 

How Does Remote Access Improve Security? 

Remote access allows homeowners to take action if anything goes wrong. If they forgot to lock the garage door? It only requires a tap on their phone to lock all doors in the house. Unsure if they armed the security system? They can glance at the Control4 app and verify whether or not the security system is activated. And if unusual activity is detected on the property, they can remotely turn on lights, check surveillance footage, and contact the authorities in a few quick swipes on their phone.
