Control4’s New Chime Doorbell Is the Intelligent Front Door Sentry
This is the Video Doorbell For the Integrated Smart Home
Video doorbells are one of the most popular products in smart home devices. Even people who care little about intelligent devices and automation like the feeling of security they can impart. From porch pirates to unwanted solicitations, video doorbells make it easier to see and react to what's going on outside your door.
Many video doorbells are available for DIY solutions and professionally installed smart home systems, so it may be hard to choose. While many of these connected doorbells can do a good job, none can harness the power of Control4's powerful OS 3 smart home system like the new Chime. Fusion Home Systems, your local Henderson and Nevada Control4 dealer, is excited about all the smart security features Chime can bring to your home. Let’s explore more about Chime below.

Increased Security and Peace of Mind
A video doorbell is your automated front door sentry. The Control4 Chime has five zones you can adjust to watch for motion, so you can get an immediate alert when a package is delivered or someone is approaching your front door. With the highly versatile Control4 Touchscreen inside the house, you can screen a visitor with two-way audio and a crisp video feed. If you’re away from home, you can do the same on the Intercom Anywhere app on your smartphone as long as you have an internet connection.
The Control4 Touchscreen not only presents all the control options for your smart home, but it has high-quality audio and video intercom skills too. When your doorbell rings, you can instantly see who it is, start a conversation, and decide what you want to do. Or you can choose not to answer at all if it's an unwanted solicitation. The Chime's 5 megapixel HD camera has a wide field of view to capture an extensive range of activity around your front entry area, includingat night with night vision capability. Unlike many video doorbells, it can record hours of video footage to an in-house network video recorder for an advanced surveillance solution.
Smart Automation
We mentioned that the real power of Chime lies with deep integration with Control4’s powerful and flexible smart home system. For example, if you have smart locks, you can verify a visitor via video and audio and disarm your alarm system and unlock the door via a smart lock. You can do this from inside your home – say you're out onthe back patio – or from practically anywhere with the smartphone app. If you have motion detected at odd hours, you can also integrate other smart automation like outside and inside lights to activate to ward off potential snoopers and intruders.
Wired or Wireless Installation
Chime features flexible installation options with both wired and wireless network connectivity. For a retrofit installation, the doorbell can draw power from your old doorbell low voltage connection and connect wirelessly to your Wi-Fi network. For new construction or remodels, ethernet cable can be run, which provides both a secure network connection and also neatly delivers power to the Chime with industry-standard PoE (power over ethernet) for a simplified single-wire installation. With both elegant black and silver finishes, it will look right at home at your front door.
