I. Intelligent lighting control

To achieve intelligent whole-home lighting management, various intelligent control methods such as remote control can be used to remotely switch on/off, dim, and fully switch on/off whole-home lamps, and achieve one-click lighting scenario effects such as "guest reception" and "theater"; various control methods such as timing control, telephone remote control, computer local control, and internet remote control can be used to enable various functions, thereby achieving energy-saving, ecofriendly, comfortable, and convenient intelligent lighting.


Advantages:

1. Control: local control, multi-point control, remote control, area control, etc.

2. Safety: Separate the control circuit from the load circuit by controlling strong current through weak current.

3. Simplicity: The intelligent lighting control system adopts a modular structural design that is simple, flexible, and easy to install.

4. Flexibility: The lighting layout can be changed and functions can be expanded simply by making software modifications and settings based on changes in the environment and user needs.


II. Intelligent electrical appliance control

Electrical control adopts a method of using weak current to control strong current, which is both safe and intelligent. It allows for the intelligent control of electrical appliances such as water dispensers, sockets, air conditioners, floor heating, projectors, and fresh air systems through various intelligent control methods such as remote control and timing control. This prevents water dispensers from repeatedly heating at night, which can affect water quality. When you are not at home, it can disconnect the power strip to avoid safety risks arising from the heating of electrical appliances. Additionally, the timing or remote control of air conditioners and floor heating ensures that you can enjoy comfortable temperatures and fresh air immediately upon arriving home.


Advantages:

1. Convenience: local control, scenario control, remote control, telephone and computer remote control, mobile control, etc.

2. Control: It is safe, convenient, and non-interfering through infrared or protocol signal control.

3. Health: It can monitor the temperature, humidity, and brightness in the home, and drive electrical appliances to operate automatically through intelligent detectors.

4. Safety: The system can automatically turn on or off the circuit according to the pace of life, avoiding unnecessary waste and fires arising from electrical aging.


III. Security surveillance system

With the upgrading of people's living environment, people pay increasing attention to personal and property safety, leading to higher requirements for the security of individuals, families, and residential communities. Meanwhile, rapid economic development, coupled with the sharp increase in urban migrant population, has posed new challenges to urban social security. To ensure the safety of residential communities, and prevent theft and robbery incidents, it is imperative to have your own security prevention system. The security model of civil air defense can hardly meet our requirements, and intelligent security has become a current development trend.


Video surveillance systems have been widely applied to public places such as banks, shopping malls, stations, and traffic intersections. However, actual surveillance tasks still require significant manual labor. Moreover, existing video surveillance systems typically only record video images, providing unexplained footage that can only be used for post-event evidence collection, without fully leveraging the real-time and proactive nature of surveillance. Intelligent video surveillance is particularly crucial to enable real-time analysis, tracking, and surveillance target identification, provide alerts and reports in case of abnormal events, and supports timely decision-making and correct actions by government departments and security agencies.


Diversified control methods:

I. Remote control

You can control the turning on and off of lamps, water heaters, electrical curtains, water dispensers, air conditioners, and other devices in your home with a remote controller. Through the display screen of the remote controller, you can check and display the on/off status of lamps and appliances on the second floor (or bedroom) from the first floor (or living room). Meanwhile, the remote controller can also control infrared appliances in your home, such as TVs, DVDs, audios, and other infrared electrical devices – a universal remote controller.


II. Telephone remote control

The high encryption (telephone identification) multifunctional voice-activated remote control function allows you to remotely control your home's air conditioners, curtains, lamps, and appliances via a mobile phone or landline telephone, whether you're traveling or away from home. It enables you to preset cooling or heating timing, activate or deactivate devices, monitor all electrical systems and appliances (e.g., food in the refrigerator) via a mobile phone or landline telephone, and assess indoor air quality (by installing smoke detectors or similar devices indoors and outdoors), thereby controlling windows and ultraviolet sterilization devices for ventilation or sterilization. Additionally, based on external weather conditions, you can humidify the indoor air and warm up the interior via air conditioners, etc. When you’re not at home, you can automatically water plants and feed pets via a mobile phone or landline telephone. You can also control bedroom wardrobes to sterilize and air clothes, shoes, bedding, etc.


III. Timing control

You can set automatic on/off times for certain products in advance, such as setting the electrical water heater to automatically start heating at 20:30 every night and automatically power off at 23:30, ensuring energy saving, comfort, and fashion while you enjoy hot water bathing. Of course, electrical curtains can be automatically opened and closed with great ease.


IV. Centralized control

You can turn on the lamps and electrical appliances such as kitchen appliances in the living room, dining room, and kitchen simultaneously at the entrance, especially at night when you can control the lamps and appliances in the living room and bathroom from the bedroom, which is convenient and safe. You can also check their operating states.


V. Scenario control

With a gentle touch of a button, multiple lamps and appliances automatically operate as you "desire", allowing you to feel and appreciate the perfection, simplicity, and efficiency of a high-tech and fashionable lifestyle.


VI. Online remote control

Whether you are in the office or traveling, as long as network access is available, you can log into your home through the internet and control the appliances in your home through a fixed smart home control interface in the online world. A free dynamic domain name will be provided. It is used mainly for the online remote control and operating state query of electrical appliances. For example, if you are on a business trip, you can control the lamps and electrical appliances in your home by logging in to the relevant IP address on a nonlocal networked computer. Before returning home or boarding the aircraft, you can turn on the air conditioners or water heater in your home…


Ⅶ. Whole-home mobile control

All lamps and electrical appliances in your home can be remotely controlled via a mobile phone. As long as the mobile phone has internet access, you can use it to remotely control the lamps, appliances, and other electrical devices in your home through the internet.


Advantages:

1. Safety: The security system can detect and notify the owner in advance of situations such as stranger intrusion, gas leakage, and fires;

2. Simplicity: It is very simple to operate, and can be armed or disarmed through a remote controller or a door controller.

3. Practicality: The video surveillance system can effectively prevent thieves from taking further actions and also provide useful evidence to the police after the event through outdoor cameras.


IV. Intelligent background music

Home background music is a new-type background music system that has evolved based on the fundamental principle of public background music, while incorporating the characteristics of family life. In simple terms, in any room of your home, such as the garden, living room, bedroom, bar, kitchen, or bathroom, various audio sources such as MP3, FM, DVD, and computers can be combined systematically, allowing you to enjoy wonderful background music in each room. The music system not only beautifies the space but also plays a great decorative role.


Advantages:

1. Uniqueness: Unlike conventional music, it is specifically designed for families.

V. Intelligent video sharing

The video sharing system involves the centralized installation of video devices such as a digital TV set-top box, a DVD player, a video recorder, and a satellite receiver in a concealed location. It enables televisions in multiple rooms (living room, dining room, bedrooms, etc.) to share a home audio-visual library, and allows users to select their preferred audio source for viewing via a remote controller. This approach not only allows televisions to share audio and video devices but also eliminates the need for repeated device purchases and wiring, thus saving both money and space.


Advantages:

1. Simplicity: With simple wiring, one cable can transmit multiple video signals, achieving convenient operations.

2. Practicality: No matter where the hub is, a remote controller can control all video hubs.

3. Safety: Using weak-current wiring and network cable for signal transmission ensures that it remains up-to-date, even after future upgrading.


VI. Video intercom system

Video intercom products are already quite mature, with numerous mature cases available. These include large-scale networked intercom systems and standalone intercom systems, such as those used in villas, including one-to-one, one-to-two, one-to-three, etc. Functions achieved usually include calling, video, intercom, etc. However, through integration by "Pinqi Residence", many products on different platforms have been unified, enhancing the advantages of the control section of the entire system, and allowing the indoor hub to control the lamps and appliances in the home as well.


Ⅷ. Home theater system

For high-end villas or apartments, the living room or theater is usually around 20 square meters, which is one of the most important parts of the building area. The living room or audio-visual room is naturally the most magnificent place in the home. In addition to being spacious and comfortable, it also has to be lively and entertaining. To meet these requirements, the "home cloud platform" is an essential "home treasure" for home theaters.


Advantages:

1. Simplicity: It is very simple to operate. With one click, you can activate various scenarios such as music mode, audition mode, karaoke, and movie mode.

2. Practicality: With a private theater, you can be your own master and watch blockbusters at home at any time, saving you valuable time. It's not an exaggeration to call it a "home treasure", as it allows you to get closer to your good friends at weekends.

3. Magnificence: Through connection to various rooms through a gigabit switch, you can operate projectors and televisions in different rooms via a remote controller or tablet, and share your private movie library.

Note: Coordinated control with intelligent lighting, electrical curtains, and background music can be achieved.
