Smart Home / AV
Control4 is the whole-home platform we design around. Home theater, lighting control, shade control, and solid networking / designed Wi‑Fi sit with that platform, from the same Chicagoland team as your security.
Home theaters and media rooms usually need it too, so one remote runs the whole room.
Control4: the platform
Many homeowners start with protection, then want connected living too. We design around Control4 as the primary platform, so theater, lighting, and networking aren’t a separate stack of remotes and consumer routers. Control4 gives you one app for lighting, climate and media.
If you’re already on Control4, or planning to be, we program for how you live, not a brochure stack.
Founded in 2009 for AV and connected living; licensed security under Acoustical Vision Security LTD since 2019. One local team for the work you need. One conversation when you want both.
Why Control4
- One app: lighting, climate and media without juggling remotes
- Scenes that match real habits: leave, return, movie night, overnight, programmed for how you live
- Works with security: arm/check cues, door events, and camera-aware moments planned with your alarm & video
Home theater & media
Dedicated theaters and living-room media, run by Control4 so one remote does it all, cleanly wired and programmed for how you watch.
Building or remodeling? Our pre-wire process shows how we plan the wiring before drywall.
Lighting control & shade control
Lighting and shade control built into your Control4 scenes.
Networking / Wi‑Fi
Designed Wi‑Fi and a wired backbone so Control4, cameras, and everyday devices stay reliable, not a brand-locked stack. Hardware sized to the job (Ubiquiti and similar when they fit).

Smart home questions
Which smart home platform do you use?
Control4 is the whole-home platform we design around. Control4 gives you one app for lighting, climate and media, with scenes programmed for how you live.
Do I need Control4 for a theater or media room?
Usually, yes. One remote has to turn on the projector, set the receiver and start your Roku or cable box, often with the equipment in another room. Control4 does all of that with one button.
Does Control4 work with my security system?
Yes. Control4 runs your music, TVs and lighting. Your security system works alongside it in its own app. Lights, cameras and thermostats can live on either system, and we'll help you decide which fits your home.
I already have Control4. Can you help?
Yes. If you are already on Control4, or planning to be, we program it for how you live.
How long has Acoustical Vision done AV work?
