 |
| Amherst Alarm has several solutions for those home owners looking for a way to integrate their home systems for easier management. A home automation system allows you to control all of your home systems from one interface and also allows you to preset many daily functions. |
 |
With a home automation system you can remotely control systems such as security, lighting, climate, audio, messaging, cameras, and irrigation all from your home computer or via the internet using a PC, PDA, or internet capable mobile phone. |
| You can also have in-wall touchscreen control stations and wireless tablets installed. All integrated systems can be controlled from them. The tablet has a built in Wi-Fi so it can be placed anywhere in the home. You can also use the tablet and some of the in-wall stations to surf the internet. |
| So, how does a home automation system help you take advantage of today's home systems? Have a look at some of the following solutions and then begin to consider the possibilities for you and your family. |
|
Centralized Climate Control, Scheduling, and History Monitoring
• Monitor and control each thermostat individually or as a group, at home or while away, with a simple and easy to use interface |
Distributed Audio System and Music Storage
• Store your music collection centrally as MP3 files, and play them in any room with a simple player, or with a more sophisticated multi-zone whole house audio system |
Easy-to-Use Lighting Control & Scheduling
• Automatically set home, driveway, and pathway lights to turn on and off at pre-set times enhancing atmosphere, ensuring safety, conserving energy, and saving money --- and the system automatically compensates for sunrise/sunset and daylight savings time zone changes! |
Security Monitoring
• Graphically display your home's alarm system while monitoring the status of every exit/entry point in your home - from your own bed, your hotel room, or anywhere you have access to the Internet |
Video Surveillance
• See the inside and outside of your home anytime you want, and enjoy the peace-of-mind knowing your spouse, children, pets and home are safe |
Irrigation control easily accessed from your home – or away
• Easy, simple irrigation control means you're more likely to keep your landscape in great condition while saving water |
Phone Management System
• Access & control your voicemail from any phone, PC or wireless tablet PC on the Internet while home or while away |
|
| Here are a few examples of what you can do: |
| Press the away button on your tablet and your exterior lights turn on, your selected interior lights turn off, your climate drops to your preselected temperature, and your security system arms itself. |
| You get a call from Amherst Alarm that your alarm is going off and someone is on site who claims to be your mother-in-law and she can't remember the code or password. Login into your home from the internet and view your video cameras to see if it really is your mother-inlaw and even disarm the alarm for her. |
| When you get home from work grab the tablet sit down on the couch and call up your favorite MP3 music from the server. Now touch the messaging tab to review today's calls and listen to your messages. You can even return calls just by highlighting the call and touching the dial button. You'll be able to talk to them through the tablet just like on a normal speaker phone. |
