Control4 security and CCTV in Cork brings the cameras, the intruder alarm, the gate intercom and the door locks onto the touchscreens and the app you already use for lights and music. Across Cork city and county that means a house that looks occupied while you are away and a gate you can open from the office.
How Control4 security and CCTV fits a Cork home
Footage stays in the house on a recorder in the rack and plays on whichever screen is nearest: touchscreen, television or phone. Setting the alarm at night can close the blinds and drop the lights at the same time, a gate call lands on the nearest screen with a release button, and a smart lock gives the cleaner or a tradesperson a code that only works on the right day.
Around Kinsale, Carrigaline and the harbour, where drives are long, the gate intercom does most of the work. In the city, where the front door is on the street, it is a video doorbell, a smart lock and a camera at the front and the back.
| Where it goes | What it does |
|---|---|
| Gate and drive | Video intercom, gate release from the app, cameras on the approach |
| Front door | Video doorbell, smart lock with time limited codes |
| Inside | Alarm integrated with scenes: set at night, blinds and lights follow |
| Recording | Local recorder in the rack, viewable on every screen |
| Away | Lights and blinds moving as they would with someone home |
The Control4 rescue in Cork included a CCTV system that had stopped recording because of the network behind it, which is why we treat cameras and network as one job. Alarm and CCTV installation in Ireland is licensed by the Private Security Authority.
Questions we are often asked
Will Control4 talk to the alarm already fitted in my Cork house?
It depends on the panel. A good number have Control4 drivers; if yours is not one of them we can either swap the panel or integrate the cameras alone and leave the alarm as it is.
Who can see my CCTV footage?
You, on your own recorder in your own house. We do not route footage through a cloud service unless you ask for one, and the app connects to your recorder directly.
Can I let a courier through the gate from work?
Yes. The gate intercom rings your phone, you see who it is, and one tap opens the gate. Regular callers can have a code instead.
Does CCTV in Ireland need a licensed installer?
The Private Security Authority licenses alarm and CCTV installers in Ireland. Raise it with us when you enquire and we will explain how it applies to your job.
