Is it essential for you to have high-quality audio and video?

If you're planning to replace going to the cinema with home movies, is it vital to have the same entertainment experience as you would at the theater? The newest audio and video technologies offer fantastic quality and provide evident competition to the cinema. If high-quality audio and video are essential to you, consider a 4K television or projector and immersive 3D sound. Both would help bring your movies to life.  

Do you want to see the newest releases?

Home theater has yet to compete with the cinema regarding the availability and access to new releases. However, following the pandemic, many production companies began co-releasing feature films at the cinema and on home streaming networks. With more options like this becoming available, we don't suggest hanging up your home theater viewing plans just yet.

1. Video Doorbell

Gone are the days of peering out the window to see who is on your porch to determine whether you’ll answer the door. With video doorbells like Control4’s Chime video doorbell, you can see and even talk to the people on your porch before you answer the door. Tune into your doorbell’s video camera on your phone or home’s touchscreen device and speak via an intercom system. You and your family won’t have to answer the door to a stranger again. 

2. Remote Access

Forget to lock the front door on your way out? That was a problem of the past. With smart locks and remote access, it’s easy to lock and unlock doors right from your phone. So, for example, if your dog walker comes over, tap an icon on a mobile device, such as your smartphone or tablet, to unlock your front door and let them in. Lock it again when they leave. No matter where you are, you enjoy complete control of your home’s locks.
