A truly secure home goes beyond a basic alarm system. Today's smart security combines cameras, smart locks, video doorbells, and sensors into one integrated system that you can monitor and control from anywhere.
Why Integration Matters
Most homeowners end up with a patchwork of security products from different brands, each with its own app. Your Ring doorbell doesn't talk to your August lock, and neither connects to your cameras. An integrated system changes that. One app, one interface, everything working together.
Security Cameras
We install high-resolution cameras from trusted brands that offer 24/7 recording, night vision, and intelligent alerts. Cameras can be placed at entry points, driveways, garages, backyards, and common areas. All footage is recorded locally on a network video recorder so you're not dependent on cloud subscriptions.
Smart Locks
Smart locks let you lock and unlock your doors remotely, create temporary codes for housekeepers or contractors, and see a log of who entered and when. We install locks that integrate with Control4 so they become part of your overall home automation.
Video Doorbells
See who's at your door from your phone, a Brilliant panel, or your TV. Video doorbells with two-way audio let you communicate with visitors without opening the door. When integrated with your system, pressing the doorbell can trigger your TV to show a live feed.
Automation Ties It Together
When you leave the house, one button can arm the security system, lock all doors, close the garage, turn off lights, and set the thermostat to away mode. When you arrive home, it reverses automatically.
How SHIM Sets It Up
We design a security system based on your property's layout and your specific concerns. Everything integrates with your Control4 system for seamless control. We handle installation, configuration, and show you how to use it.
