Security and Access Control

Home or away, a smart home provides the ultimate security features for your total peace of mind.

From remote controlled cameras to electronic locks, a smart home with a Control4 system at its heart allows you to rest assured no matter where you are in the world.

Hi-def cameras allow you to check-in on your property when you’re not at home or see who’s at the door if you’re home alone. Two-way communications enable you to talk to visitors, giving instructions or telling them to come back at a more convenient time.

Smart locks grant or deny access to certain people and send alerts to your device no matter how far away you are. Garage doors, windows and gates can all be secured remotely, and with a touch of a button.

Security lighting attached to motion detectors will light up anyone who shouldn’t be there, or simply have your home light up automatically as the sun sets every evening.

Smart lighting can even create a “mockupancy”, which alternates lights, shades and even televisions in a random order, making it look like someone’s home, even when you’re on the other side of the world.

All the security features are managed by one single system – Control4. This effortless smart home foundation allows you to control everything from a touchscreen, TV or mobile device.

“Features like automatically closing gates and garage doors has already proved valuable on several occasions when I have forgotten to close them. The reassurance in knowing if I do forget, they are closed on the time clock is awesome.”

— JOHN RAE

About the
Seller

Smart homes, home automation - call it what you will but there is a revolution going on in the homes of New Zealand, and Designer AV are the team to bring this technology to you.

Derek Crane is one of New Zealand’s leading experts in home automation.

With a background in electrical engineering, Derek has always had a passion for audio, and it was through installing Hi-Fi equipment that he eventually progressed into home automation.

From those early days installing home audio, as the technology grew, so did Derek’s skills. With the advent of WiFi and smartphones, technology had finally caught up with the dream of an automated home, opening the door to a world of convenience, ease, and simplicity. 

Back in the day, there were very few people who were offering full home automation, and with his background as a Sparky, Derek was one of the few people in the country who could understand and install the emerging technology.

From the beginning, Derek understood the potential in having all your devices work together in a seamless arrangement. Lighting, heating, video, music, and security can all be controlled with the touch of a button, from the sofa or the other side of the world, keeping your family warm and safe.

A decade of experience

For the past decade, Derek and his wife Michelle have been helping people get the most out of their technology and experiencing safer, smarter living through home automation.  

They pride themselves on exceeding the expectations of clients, and to make sure their products are up to the task, they test all the equipment in their own home first before suggesting it to clients.

Smarter homes

Derek is one of the most respected and trusted names in the business, and together with his team of industry-leading home automation specialists, he transforms modern Kiwi homes into wonders of modern technology and convenience. 

Once you have experienced the mind-blowing daily life of a fully automated home, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
