Fourth Amendment Automation

Local-control smart homes, networking & security

Why us

Built the way we'd want our own home built.

We design digital homes the way we would want our own homes built: secure, understandable, and under the owner's control. Not locked into an app. Not dependent on a company staying in business. Not a black box the next technician can't figure out.

What sets us apart

Most integrators lead with convenience. We lead with security, ownership, and clarity—then add automation where it makes sense.

Security-first, always

Before we touch a smart bulb or a voice assistant, we make sure the network is properly segmented, the firewall is hardened, and IoT devices can't reach things they shouldn't. Security isn't an add-on—it's the foundation.

Local-first by design

We minimize reliance on third-party clouds and keep control inside your home. Your automations run when the internet is down. Your cameras record to your hardware. Your data doesn't leave unless you decide it does.

Documented and maintainable

We label everything, document the system, and walk you through what was built and why. When we're done, you own your install—not just the hardware, but the understanding of how it works.

Built to expand over time

Start with the foundation. Add cameras. Add automation. Add lighting. We design with the next layer in mind so expansion never means tearing out what's already there.

Modern homes are increasingly surveilled by platforms, apps, and cloud services most homeowners never agreed to. We help people take back control of their own digital infrastructure—and keep it.
