Every door, gate and delivery, handled from your phone.
A video intercom at the gate that rings your TV and phone, smart locks with codes per person, and a log of who came and went. Convenient for you, useless to anyone else.

Overview
See who is at the gate, talk to them, and let them in from anywhere.
What it is
Access control and intercom for a home means video intercoms at the gate and doors, smart locks with per-person codes, gate and garage control, and a log of every entry, all reachable from the Control4 app and touchscreens anywhere in the world.
Estates and townhomes have the same access problem in different sizes: the gate, the front door, the garage, the service entrance, the housekeeper on Tuesday and the delivery at 9pm. We install video intercoms with crisp two-way audio, tie the gate operator and garage doors into the system, and put smart locks on the doors that matter, each with time-limited codes for staff, guests and contractors.
All of it lands in one place: the Control4 app or touchscreen. The gate bell pops the camera view on the TV you are watching; one tap opens it; the event is logged.

Can the intercom ring my phone when I am traveling?
Yes. The intercom calls your phone anywhere with data, shows live video, and lets you open the gate or door. You can also set a schedule so it goes to the housekeeper instead.
Will smart locks fit my doors?
Most standard doors, yes. For custom pivot doors, multipoint locks and commercial hardware we coordinate an electrified strike or a motorized lock body with your door supplier, ideally before the door is ordered.
What happens to locks in a power outage?
Battery-powered smart locks keep working from their own batteries. Wired strikes and gate operators are on battery backup or the generator circuit and are fail-secure or fail-safe per your preference and fire code.
