The system of high degree security and privacy control established in CORTIJO del MAR is the main difference between this and other developments in the area.
All of the entry points, whether pedestrian or vehicular, have access control by means of a video security system. Within the homes, security control is carried out by the activation of alarms with an electronic key, which is also the system for access to common areas. There is motion detection in the main areas of the house, smoke detection in the kitchen, leak detection in bathrooms and kitchen which even allows shut-off of water supply and, in addition, an occupancy simulation system which operates lights and blinds. Reception of these alarms is made in the central security control computer of the complex. And, for your maximum comfort, all of the homes have direct access via internet and remote control of air conditioning, a timer for system control on a daily and hourly basis, watering of gardens according to the season, control of water heater, automatic lowering of blinds in case of rain, automatic switching on of lights, web server and wireless internet access, sound distribution system and touch control of sound as well as electrical mechanisms..
