Our Signature Camera Page
Audio Advice provides two home automation system choices: our Crestron based Signature Series system and Control4. Crestron is one of the oldest and most successful automation companies with systems in luxury homes, Fortune 500 boardrooms, and five-star hotels around the world. Control4 makes great products that are affordable and easy to retro-fit.
Audio Advice Crestron Signature
With iPad integration, our Signature program is second to none. By using iPads instead of expensive wifi touchscreens, the cost of the system has come down, and we’ve been able to include many features found only on the iPad.
We’ve literally spent thousands of hours refining our Signature system which is now in its third version. The other great thing about our Signature system is the ability for us to roll out updates for all of our Signature clients. Scott Newnam, our CEO and technology wizard uses his own home as a beta site for new ideas and features, so you can trust Scott has fully tested anything before we unveil it. Please read our introduction section on home control to learn about what we mean by built in intelligence that is an integral part of our Signature system.
Anyone in the industry who has seen it in operation agrees, its flat out the best they have ever seen, taking home automation to a new level of ease of control.
Universal Control
The Signature Series lets you indulge in luxury with one touch. Using one button, your lights dim, shades close, the flat-screen TV turns on and you relax as your favorite movie begins. Listen to jazz CDs while you read in the den, the kids play video games in the media room, and your spouse listens to the radio on the terrace. Control your music from any room in the home – there’s no need to walk to the stereo to choose a component, select CDs, change tracks or adjust volume. You can control security cameras and watch what’s going on around the house on your Signature Series iPad. Monitor your front door, watch the kids by the swimming pool, or check on the baby napping in the nursery.
Music, climate, security, lighting and more, all on your iPad
Roaming iPads
The Signature Series mark of distinction is our exclusive roaming iPad technology. This lets you walk all over your home with one iPad or have up to six throughout your home that all can work each and every system so you do not have to keep track of which one works which room. From your den, you can control the surround sound system there, go down to your basement and control the media center at the basement bar. Walk to the pool and control the music outdoors or in the whole home. Access a camera page on your touch panel to see who is at the front door! No separate iPad is needed for each area. Each iPad can do anything and everything. Nothing we have seen beats the ease of use of the Signature Series.
These enhancements are a few of many the Signature Series experience brings to your home and life. Ask your consultant how Audio Advice engineering makes your Signature Series system unique.
Home away from home
Your Signature series system will include a Cisco enterprise grade network, which not only gives you speed and security, but the ability to have a secure, remote access to your system. Imagine being on vacation, pulling out your iPad and viewing the cameras around your home! You can actually do anything you can inside your home!

Control 4
The Control4 mission was to create a home automation system that could reach a large audience. With Control4, it’s easy to begin with a simple one room control system and expand it to cover your entire home. By using wireless devices, Control4 may be installed in an existing home with a minimum of rewiring. Control4 offers whole house audio, streaming audio, lighting control, HVAC control, camera control and more. For no more than the investment in a universal remote you can get started with the expandable Control4 system.
Both Control4 and Crestron offer remote access so you can check your home while you are away. (If you want to really make the neighbors wonder what’s going on, you can even play music through your outdoor speakers!) We invite you to experience both Crestron and Control4 in our showroom. Both systems are set up and ready for you to have fun with.
