Snap One’s Luma x20 surveillance system has made sure that no matter where anyone roams on the 2-acre property, the homeowners know who it is and what they are doing.
Stephen Muenstermann and the rest of the systems integration team at Cloudbusters integrated this home with safety and security in mind. After living with their new technology for a few weeks, the homeowners felt somewhat disappointed with the third-party surveillance system. The stationary drone cameras were not able to pan and zoom as the homeowners wanted them to.
The Smart Tracking capabilities of the x20 cameras pan and tilt automatically to follow detected people and vehicles, zooming in and out based on the changing target distancePlus. This meant that the owners did not need to continually check on the cameras to see what was happening as the Luma x20 cameras send push notifications to the owners’ smartphones when they detect motion. This PTZ camera can also be programmed to follow a schedule, such as watching and recording the driveway in the morning as the children are being picked up.
Cloudbusters modified the surveillance system to accommodate the expanded coverage, and within a day or two presented the homeowners with a new-and-improved solution comprising a combination of the original third-party cameras and the Luma x20 cameras.
The owners utilised the advanced analytics of the x20 cameras and Control-4-enabled surveillance applications to keep close tabs on the property. The owners can view camera images in real-time and pan, tilt and zoom them for a better look from the Luma View app, any of the home’s 10 Control4 touchpanels, or the screen of any TV. They can also choose to view the scene captured by an individual camera or all 32 in a thumbnail format.
The Luma x20 surveillance system has streamlined setup and configuration for Cloudbusters. As they are located hundreds of miles from the project, having a way to remotely access the cameras, as well as other technology in the home, was crucial to Cloudbusters.
