Security & Access
Quietly aware, everywhere.
Security works best when it is part of the house rather than bolted onto it, one interface for cameras, alarm, intercom, gates and locks, and behaviour that fits the way you come and go.
The idea
Integrated, not intrusive.
Cameras you can glance at from the kitchen touchscreen. An alarm that arms itself as part of Goodnight. A gate that opens as you turn into the driveway. Nothing dramatic, just a house that behaves sensibly.
We design equipment positions with the architecture in mind so hardware stays discreet and cabling stays hidden.
Seeing
Cameras placed for coverage, not for show.
Camera choice and position are resolved on plan, with attention to sightlines, lighting at night and privacy.
- Entry, perimeter, driveway and outbuilding coverage planned together.
- Recording on site, viewable from a touchscreen or your phone.
- Night performance considered against the exterior lighting design.
Access
Gates, doors, intercom and locks.
Everyday access should be simple for the household and controlled for everyone else.
- Video intercom answered from a touchscreen, keypad or phone.
- Smart locks and gate control for family, cleaners, trades and deliveries.
- Arrival scenes that combine access, lighting and disarming in one action.
Away
A house that still looks lived in.
When you travel, lighting, shading and audio can follow believable patterns while the alarm and cameras keep watch.
- Away mode ties security, lighting, climate and shading into one decision.
- Notifications for the events that matter, not for every leaf that moves.
- Remote check-in from anywhere without a separate app for each system.
