Home Control
We're here to help! If your coffee table is littered with six remote controls - and you can’t figure out which one turns the Blu-Ray player on - we’ve got your solution! Intelligent home control devices put an end to remote overload. With one reliable & user-friendly device, anyone in your family can operate the entertainment system, lights, thermostats, shades and more.
Lighting Control
Custom-tailored lighting control will allow you to change the mood of any area of your home to suit the occasion. Whether you are watching TV, dining or entertaining, one press of a button can create the ideal atmosphere you desire. New construction or upgrade - let us fashion a lighting solution perfect for you.
Shading Control
Windows are a key design element in any residence. However, achieving the greatest beauty and efficiency in each room means being able to control the light that surrounds us. Motorized shading and drapery by Lutron transforms harsh glare into soft pleasing light, enhances privacy while preserving exterior views, reduces solar heat gain, provides UV protection of expensive furnishings and artwork, and provides the ability to change daytime into nighttime for restful sleep.
Networking
A network is a home’s central nervous system. We’ll help lay a solid and reliable foundation that’s ready for today’s technology and for tomorrow’s. Our experience has shown a hard-wired solution almost always works best. So, why not wireless? For most home entertainment and communications applications, wireless should only be used if it is not feasible or cost effective to get a wire to a location. Either way, we will work with you to find a networking solution.
Audio Distribution
Audio Distribution systems send music to any room in your home via a central processor. Control of your music playlists is simple and intuitive by means of a touch panel, keypad, handheld RF remote, iPad or similar Wi-Fi device. Whether the speakers are place in the wall, or the ceiling, or invisible, each A/D system is uniquely designed to blend in with its surroundings in order to minimize the visual impact.
Audiophile 2-Channel
2-channel (stereo) music systems are making a significant comeback. Digital music has been a tremendous innovation, and there’s no better way to appreciate your personal library of music than with a true audiophile stereo system. Music systems are more advanced than ever, with AC power regenerators, beryllium tweeters, PCOCC/Silver cables and more, and they have to be heard to be believed.
Video Distribution
Video distribution means enjoying movies or TV shows in any of the rooms that are part of the system. You could be enjoying cable TV in the living room, while the kids are watching a film in the media room and your spouse is sitting outside catching up on their favorite streaming series, all with the equipment in one location (keeping the clutter out of each room). We provide elegant control for simple operation, streamlined design for efficient use of components, and reduced costs from elimination of infrequently used cable/satellite boxes.
Home Theater
A dedicated private cinema is a room in which the environment has been precisely designed & engineered to provide maximum movie and music enjoyment. Special acoustic treatment isolate the room from outside noise, and measured speaker placement optimizes the audio. Plush theater seating is carefully positioned to allow for unobstructed viewing of your video content on the big screen. Room lighting is controlled, as well, in order to ensure the best picture delivery from the 4K projector.
Streamed Media Content
As part of simplifying your digital lifestyle, we install media players that will stream music, movies and TV shows anywhere in your home from the Internet. Outside or in, one room or whole-home, our systems can be controlled entirely from your smartphone or tablet.
Media Rooms
Some of the most exhilarating surround sound rooms are not cinema rooms at all! They’re Living Rooms, Family Rooms, Master Bedrooms and outdoor Patios that serve dual functions. In fact, almost any room in your home can be recreated into a multi-purpose media room, concealing a home theatre that only reveals itself at the touch of a button. We can engineer hidden screens and speakers that descend from ceilings, hide inside framed artwork, or rise from specially-designed furniture.
Energy Management
With real-time monitoring, it is possible to look at your processes and see where energy is being used efficiently - or inefficiently - throughout your home. Let our control systems optimize energy consumption while maintaining comfort. We work closely with architects and builders, as well, who desire to execute such energy-saving ideas into their projects.
Camera Systems
With cameras in and around your home, you can monitor activities whether you’re in the house or halfway around the globe. We can route your security system through a central monitoring system, alerting you via email or text message of events that you set. If the temperature in your wine cellar exceeds a certain level, or there’s a water leak, you and your plumber can both be notified. If they are integrated with your home control system, you can adjust the temperature or shut-off the water remotely.
Remote Monitoring
Easily view and manage locks, or grant or remove access to the house. Receive notification the moment that something isn’t right, such as a pipe leaking in the basement or the garage door left open. Monitor the state of your home, no matter how far away you are, by putting the control in your own hands.
Video Intercom/ Access Control
Stay connected throughout your home. Our entry systems can be standalone or integrated into your iPhone. Pick up to speak with someone, or just press a button to open the gate. Add video capability, and you can see who’s there or be able to record a license plate history of all visitors on your property. Program the doorbell or phone to pause the house audio system so you never miss a ring, no matter how loud you like your music.
Design and Engineering Consulting
Our goal is to accomplish your systems integration while maintaining your home’s interior design. We work with you, your architect, contractor and designer to incorporate everything seamlessly into your remodel, renovation or new construction project. We are also prepared to fulfill any design and engineering needs with professional, experienced consulting services, with an eye toward increasing the value of your upgraded home.
