Luma AI Surveillance
4K Cameras That Think
Luma's AI-powered cameras don't just record — they classify. Person at the front door? Alert. Vehicle in the driveway? Alert. Raccoon on the deck? Ignored. This AI filtering eliminates over 90% of false alerts, so every notification matters.
4K resolution captures license plates, facial features, and detail at distance. Full-color night vision provides clear footage after dark. Cloud backup plus local NVR recording means footage is preserved even if someone tampers with the recorder.
4K / 8MP Resolution
Crystal-clear video for license plates, faces, and detail. Wide 120° field of view eliminates blind spots around entry points.
AI Detection Engine
Person, vehicle, and animal classification. Line-crossing and zone-based alerts. 90%+ false alarm reduction vs. motion-only cameras.
Cloud + Local NVR
Dual storage — secure cloud backup plus local network video recorder. Footage survives even if the NVR is disconnected or stolen.
Full-Color Night Vision
Color imaging after dark with supplemental IR for complete 24/7 coverage. No more grainy black-and-white night footage.
Live on Any Screen
Pull up camera feeds on any Control4 touchscreen or TV. Doorbell camera auto-pops on every screen when someone rings.
OvrC Monitored
Camera health, connectivity, and storage monitored remotely through OvrC. We know when a camera goes offline before you do.
Professional Alarm
Professional Monitoring
UL-certified 24/7 professional alarm monitoring with smart home integration. Door/window sensors, motion detectors, glass break sensors, CO/smoke detection — all feeding into a central station that dispatches within 60 seconds of a verified alarm.
What sets professional monitoring apart: it integrates with Control4. When the alarm arms, your entire home responds — lights switch to "Away," thermostat adjusts, cameras activate, garage door confirms closed. Disarming triggers your "Welcome Home" scene. Security isn't a separate system — it's woven into how your home operates.
Multi-Sensor Coverage
Door/window contacts, PIR motion, glass break, smoke, CO, flood/leak, and temperature monitoring. Comprehensive protection.
Video Verification
When an alarm triggers, camera footage is sent to the monitoring station. Verified intrusions get priority dispatch. Reduces false dispatch by 80%.
Mobile Control
Arm, disarm, check sensor status, and review alert history from your phone. Push notifications for every event.
Security Scenes
Smart security isn't about separate devices — it's about scenes that orchestrate every system with a single action.
"Away"
Arms the alarm system. Locks all smart locks. Closes garage door. Activates all cameras to continuous recording. Lights switch to randomized occupancy simulation. Thermostat drops to energy-save. OvrC monitoring active.
"Home"
Disarms alarm. Unlocks front door (geofence trigger). Sets comfortable lighting. Thermostat returns to preference. Cameras continue recording exterior only. Intercom system activates. Music starts in last-used zone.
"Vacation"
Maximum alarm sensitivity. All cameras record 24/7 with extended cloud retention. Randomized lighting patterns simulate occupancy nightly. Daily email digest of all events. Guest lock codes disabled.
"Guest"
Creates temporary door code with time window. Disables interior alarm zones during guest hours. Records guest access events. Auto-locks and re-arms at checkout time. Code expires automatically.
Access Control
Smart Locks & DSC Panels
Yale smart locks integrate directly with Control4 — keyless PIN entry, mobile unlock, auto-lock with alarm arming, and guest codes with time-limited schedules. Every unlock is logged with a timestamp. DSC access panels manage multi-zone entry for properties with gates, outbuildings, or restricted areas.
Yale Smart Locks
Keyless PIN entry. Mobile unlock. Auto-lock on alarm arming. Temporary guest codes with schedules. Full activity log with timestamps.
DSC Access Panels
Multi-zone access control for larger properties. Master codes, employee tiers, contractor access. Real-time reporting to Control4.
Video Doorbell
Visitor rings — video auto-pops on every TV and touchscreen. Two-way audio through your home speakers. Package detection. Pre-motion recording captures 3 seconds before the event.
Intercom System
Room-to-room communication through Sonos speakers. All-call announcements. Gate communication. Emergency broadcast. Mobile access from anywhere.
Integrated vs. DIY
Why Professional Security Wins
DIY camera systems (Ring, Arlo, Blink) use separate apps, cloud-only storage, and have no professional monitoring. False alarm rates run 30-40%. Police often deprioritize unverified alarm calls. There's no insurance discount.
Professionally integrated security uses AI to verify threats, dispatches within 60 seconds, stores footage both locally and in the cloud, integrates with your entire smart home, and qualifies for 10-15% home insurance discounts. One Control4 interface replaces 5+ separate apps.
The Insurance Advantage
UL-certified professional monitoring qualifies most homeowners for 10-15% insurance premium discounts. On a $3,000/year policy, that's $300-450 back annually — often covering the monitoring cost entirely.
