FAQ


When will the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera be available?

What versions of the Control4 OS software are required to support the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera? The 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera requires Control4 OS 2.2 or later.

What if I want the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera to be set up as a tabletop device for a countertop or a night stand? The 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera ships with the hardware to permanently affix it to the charger for these applications. This option is easily dealer configurable.

If I mount the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera into its stand permanently as a tabletop, can I still connect via WiFi in rooms where no Ethernet is available? Yes. Dealers can configure the device to use WiFi or Ethernet.
Does the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera automatically switch between Ethernet and WiFi when it is docked in its charger? No. The Portable is configured as either WiFi or Ethernet and does not change when docked.

Does the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera have any hard buttons? Yes, it has four buttons which can be configured to perform any programmable event including: changing volume or channel, adjusting lights, or activating any scene.

How long will the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera last on battery power when it’s not in the dock? During typical use with default settings, the Portable will last approximately 12 hours. In Suspend mode the battery will last approximately 20 hours.

How long does it take to fully charge a 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera? The Portable with Camera can be recharged in approximately 6 hours.

Can you walk around the house while using the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera on WiFi? Yes, the Portable supports WiFi roaming between WiFi access points in the home if they are set to identical SSIDs, channels, and security. Be aware that video intercom requires robust 802.11n/g signal strength for good results. If you are using older Control4 WiFi products, roaming is not supported.

Does the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera require a special license to enable the video intercom functionality? Yes, the 7” Portable Touch Screen with Camera does require an Intercom License to enable the audio and video intercom functionality. If you already have an Intercom License, no additional license is needed. The video intercom capability will be automatically enabled for existing licenses.

If I already have 5” or 7” In-Wall Touch Screens using audio intercom with an existing Intercom License, will the new video-capable devices work? You only need one Intercom License per system. Video intercom-enabled devices will communicate with other video intercom-enabled devices, and will communicate with the 5” and 7” In-Wall Touch Screens (C4-TSWMC5-EG-XX, C4-TSWMC7-EG-XX) through audio intercom. Such devices do not support video intercom functionality and they are not capable of playing the video portion of intercom sessions from the new devices.

What happens if I mix video intercom-capable devices with the older audio-only in-wall intercom devices? They will interoperate automatically. However, they will default to audio-only whenever an audio-only device is called. For example: In a mixed environment, a call between two video-capable devices will show video. However, a call from a video capable device to an older unit will automatically step down to audio only. The 5” and 7” In-Wall Touch Screens (C4-TSWMC5-EG-XX, C4-TSWMC7-EG-XX) are not capable of playing the video portion of intercom sessions from the new devices.

Are trial licenses available to allow customers to try video intercom before they decide to purchase a license?
Yes, trial licenses are available. The trial licenses enable full intercom functionality for 30 days. After the trial license expires, a license will need to be purchased to continue using intercom features.
