- 4K sensors, wide field of view
- Color night vision with IR fallback
- PoE on Cat6A — no wall warts
Security & Surveillance
Awareness. Access. Control.
Professional IP cameras, smart locks, and video intercom — integrated with your Control4 home as one calm, coherent system.
Professional Security
More Than Cameras
DIY kits leave you juggling five apps and a closet of hubs. We design a single integrated system — cameras, locks, doorbell, alarm sensors, and access control all running through your Control4 home. One interface, one network, one team responsible when something needs attention.

A Coordinated Security System
Six components that turn separate devices into one professional installation.
- Classifies person, vehicle, animal
- Zone and line-crossing rules
- Quiet by design — fewer false alerts
- Footage held on a network video recorder
- Cloud copy survives tampering
- Retention sized to your coverage needs
- Visitor feed auto-pops on every screen
- Two-way audio through home speakers
- Pre-event capture before the press
- Keyless entry, time-limited guest codes
- Auto-lock with alarm arming
- Every unlock logged with timestamp
- Cameras on every touchscreen and TV
- Locks, lights, alarm respond as one
- Mobile access on a hardened network
Luma AI Surveillance
Cameras That Recognize What Matters
Wadden Electric is an authorized Luma dealer. Luma's AI engine classifies people, vehicles, and animals — so you only see the alerts that matter and footage stays organized when you need to find a specific moment.
Security Scenes
One Button. Whole Home Responds.
Security isn't a separate system — it's woven through every scene your home runs. Arrival, departure, sleep, vacation, guest visits — each gets its own coherent response.
AwayArmLocks engage, cameras active, lights randomize.
HomeDisarmGeofenced unlock, interior zones stand down.
VacationExtendHigher sensitivity, longer recording, daily digest.
GuestWindowTime-limited code, interior zones eased.
Our Process
How Security Gets Installed
Designed for your property — not a templated package.
01
Site Walk
We walk the property together. Entry points, sightlines, lighting conditions, and coverage gaps mapped before any device is specified.
02
System Design
Camera placement, sensor zones, lock locations, and Control4 integration drawn up. Network plan reviewed against your existing infrastructure.
03
Infrastructure
Cat6A runs and PoE to every camera. Security devices placed on an isolated VLAN — separated from your personal network.
04
Install & Program
Cameras calibrated, locks paired, alarm panel programmed, and Away / Home / Vacation / Guest scenes built into Control4.
05
Handover & Monitoring
We walk through every scene and camera view. Remote device monitoring engaged so issues are caught early — often before you notice.
Security Works With Everything
Control4
The brain that unifies cameras, locks, alarm, lighting, and climate into intelligent scenes.
Networking
PoE cameras, isolated VLANs, and remote monitoring depend on enterprise-grade networking.
Lighting Control
Exterior and interior lighting tied to security scenes — the first layer of deterrence.
Standby Generators
Keeps cameras, alarm, and the network running through Nova Scotia outages.
Common Questions
Security Answers
Can you install security cameras at my home or business in Halifax?
Yes. We install professional IP camera systems as an authorized Luma dealer — including NVR recording, video doorbells, intercom, smart locks, and access control. For larger homes and commercial properties, we also design alarm sensor coverage and integrate the entire system with Control4. Request a security quote →
How does home security integrate with home automation?
Through Control4. Cameras appear on every touchscreen and TV in the home. The 'Away' scene locks every smart lock, arms the alarm, switches lights to randomized occupancy, and confirms the garage door is closed — all from one button press. Doorbell footage auto-pops on the nearest screen when someone rings. Security stops being a separate app and becomes part of how the home behaves.
Why install professional cameras instead of a DIY system like Ring or Arlo?
DIY kits work for a single doorbell or a single camera. They struggle when you want full-property coverage, locally retained footage, integration with the rest of your smart home, and one team responsible for upkeep. Professional IP cameras run on PoE-powered Cat6A, store footage on a local NVR (with cloud backup), and integrate cleanly with Control4 — one network, one interface, one place to call when something needs attention.
What happens to my security system if the internet goes down?
Core functions keep working. The alarm panel runs locally — sensors still trigger, sirens still sound, and cellular backup handles outbound notifications. Local NVR recording continues without internet. Live camera view stays available on your home network. What pauses: remote app access and cloud-side backup until the connection is restored.
