Smart Surveillance — Protecting Your Home with the Latest Tech

Home is where families should feel safest. But in today’s world, traditional locks and basic alarm systems aren’t enough. Fortunately, smart surveillance technology has advanced dramatically, giving homeowners peace of mind and builders a powerful feature to market.

At Advanced AV & Automation, we design and install smart surveillance systems that provide reliable protection—whether you’re home, at work, or across the globe.

The Evolution of Surveillance

Not long ago, security cameras meant grainy black-and-white footage stored on clunky DVRs. Today, homeowners can access crystal-clear, high-definition video from their smartphones in real time.

Key improvements include:

• 4K and HDR cameras for clear details, even at night.

• AI-powered motion detection that distinguishes between people, animals, and vehicles.

• Cloud storage for easy access to past footage.

• Integration with automation so cameras and alarms work together.

Core Features of Modern Systems

1. High-Definition Cameras

   • Capture license plates, faces, and small details.

   • Wide-angle lenses reduce blind spots.

2. Smart Alerts

   • Get notified only when it matters (no more false alarms from squirrels).

3. Remote Access

   • Watch live video from your phone anywhere in the world.

4. Integration with Smart Homes

   • Cameras trigger lights to scare off intruders.

   • Door locks, alarms, and surveillance work together.

The Builder’s Advantage

Homes with smart surveillance sell faster and command higher value. Buyers want peace of mind—and builders who include pre-wired camera systems deliver that security upfront.

Real-World Example

We recently upgraded a Houston homeowner from a basic DIY system to a professional-grade 4K setup. Now they receive accurate alerts, can see visitors clearly, and have full integration with their Control4 system.
