Giving you full control, Open AV innovatively allows you to control your home via multiple sources. If you are at home, then you can simply control any room from any room either via the on wall panel or by the remote control, so if the kids have their bedroom TV up too loud, or you want to ensure all of your properties lights’ have been switched off before heading to bed without having to trawl around checking, you can do so from anywhere in the house with the click of a button.  Alternatively, away from your home you can access the control panel remotely over the internet from a PC or your mobile phone. This allows you to take full control of your property before you even enter it and is especially useful if you have a holiday dwelling or second home as you can access and control multiple dwellings from anywhere in the world.

Digital Entertainment
Dedicated to serving the new digital world, Open AV allows you to take control of all of your entertainment equipment from one centralised entertainment hub – choose some soothing music to listen to whilst you relax in the bath or remotely access the sky box to record a favourite programme. Connected to the internet, Open AV also acts as a digital streaming centre allowing you to view remotely any of the video sources from every connected device in your home, so if you are stuck in a hotel that offers no entertainment, simply log on and access your catalogue of stored DVDs and music or watch your recorded programmes from your Sky box.

Security
Extremely versatile, Open AV can also be used in partnership with integrated CCTV cameras and be accessed from a remote location to create a state-of-the-art security set-up.
