Introduction
Your Control4 system includes powerful Intercom features that let you
monitor and communicate easily with all of your Intercom-compatible
devices. With at least two devices in your system, you can send and
receive high-quality audio and video throughout your home and to your
mobile devices with the Control4 Intercom app. You can:
• See and hear who is at the front door before you answer. (Requires
video-capable touch screens and a door station)
• Call a group of Intercom devices to invite your whole family to dinner
and easily manage your own groups.
• Monitor your baby’s room. (Requires two Intercom-capable touch
screens)
• Call from one room to another, using a touch screen or a third-party
app on a mobile device.
• Receive a door station call (or in a room without a touch screen) on your
smartphone from anywhere.

Using your Control4 Intercom
Here are a few common ways to use your Control4 Intercom:
• Answer a call from the door station
• One-to-one calls (supported on all Intercom-enabled devices)
• Call a group of devices
• Monitor your child's room
• Change Intercom device settings
• Add, edit, or delete Intercom groups
Answering a door station call
When someone rings the doorbell on your Control4 Door Station, you can see
and hear who is calling before you answer the door. Your dealer can configure
which devices, mobile phones, and touch screens are automatically called
when the doorbell is pressed. An alternate camera view can be configured to
display the image from a dierent camera when the door bell is pressed.
1 When the doorbell rings, you can see the video from the door station or
camera. Tap Answer or Ignore.
2 If you tapped Answer, speak into the touch screen. If your dealer set up
the door station’s custom buttons, you can use those to unlock the door or
trigger any other programming.
Making a one-to-one call
One-to-one calls allow one Intercom-enabled touch screen to call another.
1 From the Intercom menu, simply tap another device to start a one-to-one
call.
Note: If the Intercom device is busy, a "Station Busy" message
appears.
Answering an Intercom call
When someone is calling the touch screen in your room, the touch screen rings
and displays Answer and Ignore buttons.
1 Simply tap Answer to answer the call or Ignore to dismiss it.
If Auto Answer is enabled, these buttons will not display on the touch
screen. Instead, the call will automatically answer, and an End Call button
will show on the screen.

In-call menu and options
During a call these buttons appear (buttons may vary by touchscreen):
Volume—Tap to adjust the speaker volume on the touch screen.
Mic volume—Tap to adjust the microphone level on the touch screen.
Video—Tap to enable or disable video while in the call.
Call control buttons—Use to answer a call, reject a call, end a call, or
end a call and call back the sender. The buttons may vary by device
and type of Intercom call.
Making a group call
With a group call, you can tell your whole family to come to dinner from the
Intercom menu with only a single tap.
1 Choose the group of Intercom devices you want to include in the call, then
tap the name of the group.
Note: If a room’s Intercom properties are set to "Do Not Disturb,"
the Intercom device in that room will not receive the group call.
Note: A group call between dierent types of touch screens may
not behave the same as between touch screens of the same type.
Ask your dealer for more details.

Monitoring your child's room
With your Control4 Intercom system, you can easily monitor another Intercom
device, so it's perfect as a baby monitor or for monitoring your kids while they
play.
1 To configure your touch screen as a monitored device, tap Settings
from the Intercom home page and enable Monitor Mode. Monitor Mode
must be enabled on the device you want to listen to, for example the
touch screen in the baby's room.
2 After Monitor Mode is enabled, simply call that Intercom device (call the
touch screen in the baby's room) to start monitoring.
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 while Monitor Mode is enabled.
3 Tap End Call to stop monitoring.
Tip: An alternate camera view can be configured to get the perfect
view of your baby.
Managing your Intercom groups
Creating a group of Intercom devices allows you to use your Control4 Intercom
system to easily contact whomever you want in dierent parts of your home.
Your Intercom groups can be easily created and modified from your touch
screen. Your dealer can also configure Intercom groups with the Composer Pro
Communication agent.
1 To create an Intercom group, tap the groups icon , then select each
Intercom device you want to include in the group.
2 To edit or delete existing Intercom groups from your touch screen, tap the
edit icon on the Intercom home screen, then tap Edit or Delete next to
the group you want to edit or delete.

touch screen. These settings can also be modified by your dealer.

doorbell is pressed or a group call is started. The touch screen will also not
show as available for a one-to-one call.
