Centralized Control for Lighting, Shades, and Climate

A Control4 installation in a new Bountiful home allows for centralized control over lighting, motorized shades, and climate systems—right from the start. Centrally wired, panelized lighting systems enable homeowners to control individual fixtures or set scenes that adjust lighting, shades, and temperature in unison for any occasion. Integrating these systems during construction ensures that every element works together seamlessly, providing ultimate flexibility and a clean aesthetic without the wall clutter of needless individual light and control switches. It's all about creating the perfect ambiance with a single touch, customizing how you interact with your home. 

Whole-Home Entertainment

A full Control4 system can elevate the entertainment experience. Integrated early in the build with planning for wiring and equipment cabinets or closets, architectural speakers and hidden equipment deliver audiophile-quality sound in every room. Coupled with Control4’s 4K Ultra HD video solutions, which distribute content from multiple sources like Blu-ray, streaming services, or your personal collection, you're assured a top-tier entertainment experience. These systems are designed for a clean install, keeping equipment out of sight while delivering a seamless, consistent audiovisual experience throughout your home.

Wired Networking and Keypads for Reliability

The foundation of a robust Control4 automation system is a solid networking infrastructure. Installing high-performance wired routers and switches helps handle the most demanding AV and high-traffic network flows, ensuring a lag-free experience. Wired keypads offer dependable control and can be customized with engraved buttons for various smart home scenes, like a "Goodnight" setting that secures the house in one touch. This reliable setup, integrated during construction, provides the backbone for high-speed internet and seamless communication between all your smart home devices, from lighting and shades to security and entertainment systems.

Enhanced Security Integration

Incorporating a Control4 system in the early stages of your Bountiful home’s construction paves the way for an advanced security setup. With dedicated wiring for surveillance cameras and network video recorders (NVRs), your home will be equipped for high-definition, reliable monitoring day and night. These wired solutions ensure stable connections for live feed viewing on any device, providing peace of mind whether you’re at home or away. By planning for security integration from the beginning, you’ll benefit from optimal placement and functionality, making your home safer and more secure.
