CHOOSING THE RIGHT SPEAKERS

It is difficult to install a high-performing outdoor audio system because there are no walls to contain the sound, and there are landscaping elements that may absorb or change what you hear. To get even audio throughout your open area, you must work with a professional integrator that will create a personalized plan for your outdoor space.

Another obstacle is choosing the correct speakers for your project. Sonance offers a variety of high-quality, weather-resistant speaker lines that are sure to please even the most discerning audiophile. For those concerned about the aesthetic of their backyard, some speakers blend seamlessly into the landscape of your outdoor space, whether embedded in flowerbeds or cleverly designed to look like natural elements. Another audio brand that we recommend is the Revel XC series. All components are created and tested to perform to Revel's exacting standards in extreme climates, ensuring they can withstand a variety of environmental abuses without being damaged.

THE BENEFITS OF OUTDOOR MUSIC

Once a professional integrator has installed your outdoor audio system, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy high-quality sound throughout your backyard. Connect your speaker system to your favorite playlists and streaming services with an intuitive control system. Enjoy evening pool parties with upbeat party playlists, or wind down to classical music with wine on the porch.

You don’t have to limit yourself to audio outdoors. Bring in a display component to create a complete entertainment system. Elevate your outdoor entertainment setup with a weatherproof Seura television or projector. Take movie nights outside under the stars without having to worry about sound or picture quality. Bring game day onto the porch so you can grill without missing a crucial play. An outdoor entertainment system will turn your backyard into a second media room just in time for the warmer summer weather.

HOW TO PICK THE BEST SHADES FOR CERTAIN ROOMS

Automated shades are not a one-size-fits-all solution. You must pick the best shades for specific rooms, considering both style and function. Some different styles and patterns provide the right solution for each room. Consider what each room needs; for example, home theaters and bedrooms might require minimalistic roller shades with sheer or blackout fabrics.

If you are looking for motorized shades that blend in seamlessly with your décor, Roman shades feature understated elegance and layered design. Choose colors and styles that integrate well with your client’s home: Lutron even offers customized color options. No matter the aesthetic of your choice motorized blinds, it is vital that you don’t sacrifice function for décor. Your customers will be equally impressed by the convenience of automated blinds as they are with their style.

TAKE IN THE VIEW WITH STYLE

While it is important to have window coverings, it is also vital that your client can enjoy the gorgeous view from windows on a daily basis. Sheer roller shades can maintain your client’s privacy while also allowing them to enjoy your scenic views through the window.

Protect your precious artwork and furniture by blocking out harmful long-term exposure to UV rays. Use a smartphone or wall panel to control the shades with ease, and your clients can create automated schedules to fit their family’s routine. They will also enhance the security of their homes. Program the shades to move up and down throughout the day while your clients are on vacation to simulate their being home.

Finally, your clients will love the energy-saving benefits that come with motorized shades. The heat that passes through windows can warm up a room and cause an air conditioner to work overtime. Install a sensor that signals the shades to close when the sun is at its brightest.

FEVER DETECTION CAMERAS

If you want to measure the temperature of delivery, keep an eye on overheating electronics, or detect fever in the people at your door, modern temperature detection cameras can help keep your property safe.

Fever detection cameras monitor heat on objects and people and determine appropriate temperature ranges. These ranges are based on differences in temperature between multiple people, objects, or the surrounding area. Cameras work in real time to prevent costly mistakes. Moreover, you can set limits and send alerts when your system detects temperatures outside above your safety standards. In other words, you can rely on your system to prevent sick people from entering your home.

Systems offer accurate readings, with some offering margins of error as small as 0.54 degrees or lower. So it’s a reliable means of limiting unwanted pathogens in and around your property. Objects, people, and animals with high readings stand out. Plus, cameras integrate with other security features for a more robust solution.

Our partner manufacturers produce a wide variety of smart security features and surveillance systems, including recorders, video analytics, and facial recognition software. We only work with best-in-class companies, so you can count on our technology to help protect your home.

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

Your integrator can guide you to the right solutions for your space and install them efficiently and safely. Reliability is the key to a successful system, and a professional integrator can ensure the most dependable connections.

Devices like Amazon’s Ring offer plenty of useful video doorbell capabilities, and they can provide ample visibility for your entryways. There are plenty of cool features and expanded capabilities that are easy to use and offer an affordable starting point for anyone looking to jump into smart video doorbells.

And if you want an even more robust system, like remote access control, your integrator can recommend technology that’s even safer, more efficient, and more private. Whether you invest in Ring or a full-scale entry automation system, your technology won't fail when you need it.

SIMPLIFY YOUR SYSTEM WITH APP-BASED CONTROLS

Whether you’re halfway around the world or, more likely these days, comfortably on the couch, you should have access to your system from anywhere. Controls centralized on your smartphone or tablet are available to carry around and manage wherever you are.
