Multi Use Family Room
Extremely clear picture. Crystal clear sound. This sound is so clean, all details are heard. This sound so good it’s like you’re on the set. But that’s not all this room can do. A press of a button or a verbal command from the user sets the scene. The lights dim, the shades draw to a close, the AC unit changes to a comfy temperature. And just like that, it’s movie time.
Outdoor Automation
Say Hello to the Smart Home and these integrated systems. This home was automated in 2007 with virtually no wiring. Our team worked hard on this home to create a technology experience for the traveling home owners. The lights were most important so we started with the outdoor and perimeter lights to make it look like someone was always home. Next, we added a security camera system so the homeowner could keep an eye on the property when traveling. We coupled this system with a video doorbell so the customer would never miss a package or a visitor. Lastly, we integrated the irrigation (drip and sprinklers) systems and automated the home using a Savant as control. The home turned out as planned and most importantly, easy to use.
Home Office
It’s a home office doubling as a HIFI Audio listening area at break times. The room has two speakers for the audiophile with the supporting back end to power the speakers and sources. The office side of the room has the fastest network backbone available, perfect for video calls.
Pool Party!
The mood starts with lights and smooth tunes. When the sun goes down, it’s time to play. Here, porch lights come on automatically and landscape lighting sets the tone for the evening.
Lobby
This smart lobby has a lot going on. Our picture couldn’t capture it all. We have video wall but not a boring 2×2 but a Mosiac. The video wall plays a space theme this day and employees are productive with Bob Marley playing in the background. This company does not have a receptionist. They use an iPad upon entry. The customer uses the iPad to ring the person they are there to see. Around the corner is a wall pad to set lighting scenes, audio scenes, a smart thermostat and a security keypad to arm the alarm. The front door has Access Control so if you don’t have a badge with the right credentials, you’re not getting in! There are multiple HD cameras on the premises to ensure the property and its employees are safe.
Conference Room
Wirelessly present on a video display or projector and screen. Computer audio and microphone routes thru speakers in the ceiling.
Conference Room
Walking in to a conference room should be impressive. With our integrated systems, phone calls, video calls and presentations are efficient, effective and simple to use. Wirelessly display from a laptop on to the projector or large panel TV.
Training Room
Testing! Testing! We’re making sure this training is a success. We have two projectors to display the content from the trainers laptop. He’s doing it wirelessly. We are also testing the audio in the microphone to make sure that everyone can hear it in back. There is a hidden gem here; all video and audio content is going to this company’s remote training team in Seattle, Boston and Chicago. It’s also being recorded for those who couldn’t make it or can utilize later. The lighting are biophilia/ circadian rhythm LED lights which change slowly through the day to keep attendees energized.
At the Gym
Technology Forward Gym. This local gym spares no expense in putting their members first and it doesn’t stop with the Audio Video. This location has 10 miles of wire; 100 televisions, 30 speakers and three independent group fitness rooms, complete with wireless microphones, powered speakers, heart rate monitors and accelerators in the Cycle room.
Group Fitness
The instructor kept saying “THIS IS SO COOL!” Before class, he plugs his phone in to the audio speakers, puts on a wireless head set, starts playing a heart-thumping song as he welcomes members. The TVs display heart rate as well as measures the RPMs from the Spin bikes. The information gets saved to the members phone. This class gets results.
Control
What value is a system if it’s too complicated to use? An integrated home should be easy to use. All services are in one place for ease of use. If there are 3 or more remotes on the coffee table, a universal remote is needed. If there are 3 or more apps on the phone, a smart system is needed.
