While security technologies bring many benefits, businesses often struggle to properly integrate them without completely overhauling their infrastructure. Traditional integration approaches can require extensive rewiring, system downtime, and substantial capital investment—hurdles that can delay crucial security upgrades or make them financially unfeasible.
Enter Della, which allows multi-unit building owners to turn thermostats into a powerful integration hub, eliminating barriers to contemporary security solutions while providing a centralized control point accessible to facility managers [1]. Here’s how Della’s thermostat solutions allow for modern technology integration without rewiring.
How Della Thermostats Work With Security Technology
Della’s thermostats connect to existing HVAC infrastructure while simultaneously establishing a wireless mesh network that supports new security add-ons for your building.
Each thermostat functions as an extension of your security network, capable of communicating with access control systems, surveillance cameras, intrusion detection, and emergency response protocols, providing a comprehensive building management system [2].
With Della, it’s easy to add new security technologies as you need them without the typical “all-or-nothing” approach required by traditional solutions.
Benefits of Using Della Thermostats as a Central Hub
Benefit #1: Access Control Enhancement
Della thermostats interface directly with modern credential readers and smart locks [3]. When placed in lobbies and key access points, the thermostats serve as both environmental controls and security checkpoints. This innovative approach allows scheduled access permissions based on time of day, seamless integration with existing badge systems, visitor management through temporary digital credentials, and emergency lockdown capabilities controlled through a centralized dashboard.
Benefit #2: Surveillance System Extension
The thermostat hubs create a robust network foundation for IP-based security cameras without requiring dedicated cabling. This system allows businesses to connect new camera systems through Della’s secure wireless protocol, maintain high-bandwidth video streaming through smart network management, trigger recording based on environmental or access changes detected by the thermostat, and enable instant review of security footage through the same interface that controls building climate.
Benefit #3: Intrusion Detection Unification
One of the best benefits of Della thermostats is their ability to unify different security sensors into a cohesive detection system. Motion sensors, glass-break detectors, and door contacts can all communicate through the thermostat hub, while AI-powered analytics distinguish between routine activity and security threats for fewer false alarms.
