Combining the Power of DSC with Control4
DSC PowerSeries Neo security systems are state-of-the-art alarm systems in many high-end homes. The integration with Control4 lets homeowners use Control4's intuitive interface to manage security functions. For example, arming and disarming the PowerSeries Neo can be accomplished through Control4 touchscreens, the TV interface, the Control4 app on smart devices, and even the Apple Watch.
The integration of DSC with Control4 extends beyond the interface. If the alarm goes off, the Control4 system can enable automated responses in the zone that triggered it, like turning on the lights in that area and sending the image from a security camera to the homeowner. Other integrations make for more convenience and security. When the alarm is disarmed, an automated arrival scene can be engaged with lights, music, window treatments, and temperature set to welcome the homeowner home. The DSC system can also partner with Control4 for added security when the homeowner leaves. When the alarm is set, Control4’s unique Mockupancy feature can be activated. Mockupancy simulates a homeowner’s usage patterns for lighting, shading, and entertainment to create the illusion of an occupied home.
