The SMA market includes a mix of homes with existing alarm systems from various manufacturers as well as homes without any alarm system at all. Homeowners with existing systems express a desire to utilize their wired sensors and peripherals because they are already embedded into their homes' walls and hidden from their view. New home security customers want a convenient and flexible system installation without significant construction within their home. You need a solution that delivers a consistent feature set, user experience and operational management platform, regardless of the deployment scenario. uControl's open approach solves this dilemma.

You can install the TouchScreen onto previously installed systems confident that pre-embedded wired sensors and peripherals will operate seamlessly with the uControl SMA Platform. Installation is simple - replace one of the existing security keypads with the uControl TouchScreen, then follow the onscreen step-by-step instructions. For new customers without wired sensors, easily installable wireless sensors and peripherals promise ready-to-go security and home automation.
