Integrate Luma Surveillance with Control4 Home Automation for a Secure Smart Home

There was a time when video surveillance systems were limited to commercial businesses. Fortunately, more homeowners are looking to protect their families and homes and turning to these systems for security. According to the National Council for Home Safety and Security, a protected home is 300% less likely to experience burglaries and break-ins. These systems act as a deterrent, with many thieves choosing a different target if they spot a security camera. 

At The Integrated Home, we provide life-enhancing solutions in home automation and smart surveillance systems, using the latest technology to ensure the highest level of security and convenience. 

To accomplish this, we partner with Luma, an industry leader in intuitive smart surveillance that remains on the cutting edge of quickly evolving technology. In September 2022, the brand launched the new Luma x20 family of surveillance products.

Let’s explore what they offer and how, together, we’re protecting homes in Charlotte, NC.

Did you know that police typically only solve 13 percent of home invasions due to lack of witnesses or evidence? In case of a break-in, a surveillance system can help you catch the perpetrators to recover your property and avoid a second offense.

For that very reason, visible surveillance cameras will deter robbers from targeting your home altogether. Thieves know if they’re seen, they’ll likely be caught.

But installing a few security cameras is not enough to protect your Charlotte, NC home. The wrong ones or poor installation could result in significant holes in your surveillance system.  

We cover the biggest surveillance camera mistakes below (as well as how to fix them, of course).

How Starlight Technology Is Redefining Low-Light Surveillance

It’s the middle of the night, and someone is approaching your home. They travel discreetly up the side of your lawn and break into your garage, tampering with the lock. Now they’re inside your house and are stealing your belongings.

If you have a smart security system, alarms and lights should have been activated automatically. But if your entire property isn’t covered, or if an intruder finds a way to avoid being seen, all you’ll be left with is dark, impossible-to-see footage on your security cameras. That will be no help when handing it over to the authorities, and you won’t be able to catch the criminal.

That’s where starlight security cameras are changing the game. The lowlight cameras make surveillance systems just as effective during the night time as during the day. To see how starlight cameras, like models by Luma, can help your Charlotte, NC, home, discover the benefits below.
