What would you say to dealers who are already familiar with your product line?
Thank you for your loyalty. This year’s product announcements are exciting as LILIN brings additional automation minded products to market. We have a steady stream of new products and are excited to partner with the leading brands in automation. LILIN is expanding our solutions to provide secure connections with easy setup.
What would you say to dealers who are stumbling across your company for the first time?
Welcome, LILIN is here to help. As a partner in automation, LILIN strives to provide high end surveillance solutions into the smart home with advanced products that enable you to program advanced features into your project.
If an integrator stops by your booth with only 5 minutes to spare, what’s the one product he/she should examine or one question they should ask?
LILIN’s new 1080P door station! The moment you press the button on the new door station it will call the touch pad of the integrated automation system or the LILINViewer app. The door station comes with an excellent intercom feature which provides echo free 2-way speech with visitors at the entrance.
The unit supports SIP for easy integration with home automation platforms and the use of PoE allows for installation with one single network cable. The door station is outfitted with a 1/ 2.7” high quality image sensor that provides more detail to be captured.
Combined with an integrated 2MP 1080P resolution high definition camera with image distortion correction and IR illumination up to 3 meters with a 60° beam spread. The camera also features IR cut filter, white light, a light sensor meter, and PIR motion detection for up to 5 meters. PIR detection and light sensor are able to be programmed into the home automation system to trigger pre-programmed actions leaving creativity to the dealer or installer of the smart home.
The door station also meets international IP55 standards for dust and moisture resistant allowing you to install the door station in environments subject to wind and rain and is ONVIF profile S compliant for recording video into NVRs.
What’s your most memorable CEDIA moment?
Bill Skaer of the CEDIA Board of Directors stopped by the LILIN booth during my first CEDIA and welcomed the entire LILIN Team to the event. Bill had many kind words to say and the conversation was extremely enjoyable. I felt very welcome into the membership. LILIN has been a CEDIA Member since 2013 and we look forward to many more.

Think of your closest competitor. What is one thing you do offer that they don’t?
When I look around the security space, it is common to find most products are made by only two or three manufacturers and rebranded for sale into the channel. As a true manufacturer, LILIN has developed a full line of award-winning products, including IP and AHD cameras, Network Video Recorders, mobile apps, firmware, and software.
All of these solutions can be used with many of the leading home automation platforms including AMX, Crestron, Control4, ELAN, RTI, SAVANT, and URC. Having control over the entire process allows LILIN the flexibility to provide deep integrations and add features to provide ways for the dealer to perform advanced programming into projects to offer solution minded applications into the smart home.
We understand dealers are offering high end audio and video with high end automation platforms. LILIN provides the complimentary high end surveillance offering with deep integration.
