Smart Home Security Designed Around Your Property
Total AV Control designs and installs intelligent security systems for homes and properties across Surrey and Guildford. Every system is designed around your property, how you live and the level of control and visibility you want.
We take a brand agnostic approach to security hardware, selecting equipment that suits your property and integrating it into your Control4 smart home system. The result is a single, consistent interface for every security function in your home — no separate apps, no disconnected systems.
Security Systems We Design and Install
We install a full range of security and door entry technology for domestic properties. Every component is selected to work within your wider smart home system and managed through Control4.
Video Door Entry
A video door entry system lets you see, speak to and grant access to visitors at your front door from anywhere — whether you are in another room or away from home entirely. When a visitor presses the doorbell, the camera feed appears on your Control4 touchscreen, your phone or your television. You can speak to the visitor and release the door lock without moving from where you are.
For larger properties with gated driveways, outbuildings or multiple entry points, we design door entry systems that cover every access point from a single interface.
CCTV Installation
We install CCTV systems for internal and external coverage across residential properties. Cameras are positioned to cover entry points, driveways, gardens and outbuildings, with footage accessible live or recorded via your Control4 system or a dedicated viewing app.
All CCTV installation is planned carefully around your property to provide effective coverage without unnecessary intrusiveness. We advise on camera placement, recording options and data storage as part of the design process.
Access Control
For properties with electric gates, garages, side gates or secure internal areas, we install access control systems that integrate with your smart home. Gate and door release can be triggered from a keypad, fob, phone or automatically when a known device arrives home.
Motion Detection and Sensors
Motion sensors, door contacts and window sensors feed into your Control4 system and can trigger a wide range of automated responses — turning on lights when movement is detected outside, alerting you if a door is opened when the house is in Away mode, or activating the CCTV recording when motion is detected in a specific zone.
Remote Monitoring
Every system we install can be monitored remotely via the Control4 app. Whether you are at work, on holiday or simply in another room, you have a live view of your cameras, door entry system and sensor activity from your phone or tablet at any time.
Security as Part of Your Wider Smart Home
The most effective security systems are those that work as part of a connected whole rather than as a separate installation. Control4 brings every security function together with your lighting, heating, networking and AV systems so they can respond to each other intelligently.
Examples of how security integrates with other systems in the home:
- The front door camera feed appears automatically on the television when the doorbell is pressed
- Exterior lighting activates when motion is detected by a camera or sensor outside
- The house switches to Away mode when everyone leaves, adjusting heating, lighting and security settings together
- Lighting varies throughout the day when the Away scene is active, making the property appear occupied
- Gate or door entry release is triggered automatically when a known vehicle or phone arrives home
- A Goodnight scene arms the security system, checks all doors and windows are closed and turns off every light in one action
If you are planning a new smart home installation, security is always considered as part of the overall system design. If you already have a Control4 system, adding or upgrading security is straightforward.
