Your Home.
Smarter Than
You Think.
You don't need to gut your home to add professional automation and AI-capable security. Rivas Technology Group designs wireless-first — no drywall cuts, no disruption. Your home gets every capability it's been missing, without living in a construction zone.
Three Ways to Upgrade
Your Existing Home.
Every home and every homeowner starts in a different place. Here are the three most common entry points — each one a complete, standalone project or a phase toward a full system.
Start with Smart Security
Ajax Systems' wireless architecture installs in a day without touching walls. Intrusion detection, AI camera surveillance, water leak auto-shutoff, and professional monitoring — a complete security upgrade that integrates with Control4 when you're ready to expand.
Wireless · No Drywall · 1–2 DaysStart with the Foundation
A properly engineered home network is the infrastructure everything else runs on. Island Firewall and Araknis WiFi 7 access points replace dead zones and unreliable consumer hardware with enterprise-grade infrastructure that supports every smart system you add next.
WiFi 7 · Whole-Home Coverage · 1 DayDesign the Whole Home
Control4 automation unifying lighting, security, climate, shades, AV, and networking under one interface. Designed from scratch around how you actually live. One app. Every system. One team from design through ongoing support.
Control4 Gold · Full Integration · CustomEvery System We Install.
Every One Integrated.
Every platform Rivas Technology Group installs is selected to work natively with every other — not cobbled together after the fact.
Control4 Home Automation
Gold-level programming unifying lighting, climate, shades, locks, AV, and security. One app, every system. Scenes programmed around how you live — not templates dropped in and left.
Ajax Systems Security
Professional wireless intrusion, AI camera detection, water leak auto-shutoff. Installs without cutting walls. Integrates with Control4 — not a separate app bolted on.
WiFi & Networking
Island Firewall and Araknis WiFi 7 access points. Enterprise-grade infrastructure that eliminates dead zones and supports every smart device in the home simultaneously.
Smart Lighting
Control4 lighting control with Colorbeam tunable and RGBW fixtures. Circadian schedules that shift automatically from cool mornings to warm evenings. Occupancy detection per zone.
Ecobee Premium Climate
On-device AI occupancy learning, PM2.5 and CO2 air quality monitoring. Pre-conditions rooms based on observed patterns. Visible inside Control4 alongside every other system.
Motorized Shades & AV
Motorized shades integrated with lighting scenes and temperature sensors. Home theater and whole-home audio built into your Control4 ecosystem — not a separate remote.
Why Wireless-First
Changes Everything.
Most homeowners assume smart home upgrades mean living in a construction zone. Walls open, wires pulled, drywall patched. That was the old model.
Ajax Systems changed the calculus. Professional-grade wireless security installs without a single wall cut. Every sensor, every detector, every camera communicates over a dedicated encrypted wireless protocol — no home WiFi dependency, no false alarms from network congestion.
For networking and automation, we assess your existing infrastructure first and design around it. Where surface runs are the cleanest path, we run them cleanly. Where your existing wiring can be repurposed, we use it. A Rivas Technology Group upgrade looks like the system was always there.
The result: a complete smart home system installed over a few days — not a few weeks of construction.
-
Dedicated protocol. Ajax runs on its own encrypted 868 MHz frequency — not your home WiFi. Zero interference, zero dependency.
-
Two-way communication. Every device confirms receipt of every command. If a signal doesn't land, it retries automatically.
-
Tamper detection. Every device alerts if physically disturbed, removed from its mount, or if its cover is opened.
-
Battery life measured in years. Most Ajax sensors run 3–7 years on a single battery — not months.
-
Control4 native integration. Ajax integrates directly into Control4 — one interface for security and automation, not two separate apps.

Homeowner FAQ.
Yes — and this is the most common project type we do. Ajax Systems' wireless architecture means professional-grade security installs without cutting drywall. For networking upgrades, we work with your existing infrastructure and identify surface-run paths where needed. Control4 automation can be added to existing homes with minimal disruption in most cases. The honest answer is that scope varies by home — a paid Technology Design consultation tells you exactly what's possible before any commitment.
You can absolutely start with one system and expand over time. Most of our homeowner clients start with either a networking upgrade or an Ajax security installation — both are complete, standalone projects that also serve as the foundation for a full Control4 system later. Every platform we install is selected with integration in mind, so what you add today connects natively to what you add next year.
DIY systems use your home WiFi, require individual apps for each device, and are not monitored or supported by anyone. Ajax and Control4 are professional platforms — Ajax runs on its own dedicated encrypted frequency, not your home network, and integrates directly into Control4 for unified control. The difference shows up in reliability, response time, and what the system can actually do when something happens. Professionally installed systems also carry warranties and have someone to call when you need support.
A security-only upgrade with Ajax — hub, sensors, cameras, and monitoring setup — typically starts around $3,000–$8,000 depending on home size and camera count. A networking upgrade with enterprise-grade WiFi starts around $1,500–$3,500. A full Control4 system covering automation, security, networking, and lighting in a 2,500–4,000 square foot home typically ranges from $25,000 to $60,000.
