Monitoring a room

With your Control4 intercom, you can easily monitor another intercom device (such as a touchscreen), so it's perfect as a baby monitor or for monitoring your elderly parents while you're at work.

To monitor a room, you must first set up Monitor Mode on the touchscreen you want to monitor.

To monitor a room:

  1. On the touchscreen you want to monitor, tap Settings  in the intercom screen, then select Monitor Mode.

  2. To monitor that touchscreen, call that monitored device from another touchscreen or mobile device.

    One-way video and audio is sent from the monitored device to the device that started the call. (No audio or video is sent from the device that started the call.)

  3. To stop monitoring, tap the  (close) button on the device that started the call.

    Tip: An alternate camera view (enabled on the intercom device by your Smart Home Pro) can be configured to get the perfect view of what you are monitoring.
