With a whole-house distributed video system, you can watch shows from your DVD player, VCR, satellite dish, or closed circuit TV cameras on any TV, simultaneously in every room of your home. Now’s there no need to purchase DVD players and other video equipment for every room because the system is centralized. The centralized components can either be hidden away in a closet, or if you prefer, mounted in an impressive rack system in your media room.

Easily control the entire system through handheld remotes or wall mounted control panels. The only components needed in each viewing area are speakers and TV screens. Whatever your needs, an ideal system can be custom designed for you.

Put a camera in your children's rooms and you can watch your kids from any TV in the house. Put a camera on your front porch and see who is at the door without having to open your door. These cameras also come with microphones so you can also use it as a baby monitor.

No matter how simple or complex your home theater or media center is, a cabinet that brings everything together can provide the ultimate finished look. Our cabinet makers work with you to design a natural home for your audio and video equipment.

We can create cabinetry to best accommodate all your electrical equipment. We satisfy the demands for proper ventilation, correct viewing angles, wiring, media storage and maintaining the native sonic characteristics of high-end speakers. And with all accomplished, we still maintain the elegant appearance of the piece. We offer our creative expertise to provide cabinetry that is a timeless and unique addition to you home.

Controlled lighting allows you to create the perfect setting in your home. An integrated system, along with motorized shades and draperies, enables you to adjust the aesthetics to your liking. Instead of merely turning on / off various lights in the house, the system can work together in any combination to offer preset sequences or prearranged schedules. You can program scenes for scenarios like "reading," "cocktail party," or "movie viewing." Imagine hosting a party and pressing one button to light the interior and exterior of your house in the most attractive manner.

Lighting also creates a more secure home. As you approach your driveway, and with the touch of a button in your car, turn on your exterior flood lights, open the garage door and illuminate the hallway from your garage to your kitchen. One of the master controls for the entire home could be next to your bed. Should you hear a sound outside in the middle of the night, you can turn on all the lights in and outside the home. Or when you leave for vacation, you press one button so that lights turn on and off and shades close and open creating a pattern that suggests someone is still home

Additionally, integrated lights can add value to you home. The preset scenes and automatic timers can conserve power and save you money. The same wiring that commands the lights can also command lawn irrigation, pool temperature, hot tubs, garage door openers, and your complete home entertainment system. Imagine the simplicity, the convenience and the security that integrated lighting will bring to your life.

An integrated security system can do more than sound a siren or call the monitoring station. An integrated system is capable of a variety of automation tasks as well as protecting your home or business. Our systems can turn on or flash lights in the event of an alarm. We can schedule lighting scenes to give the home a lived in look to prevent costly break-ins. Additionally, automatic lighting scenes can be pre-programmed to different levels depending on time of day.
 
Adding cameras around the perimeter of the home or business can further enhance our security systems. An access control system can be used to protect against unauthorized entries into restricted areas while allowing easy access for authorized family members and guests. We do all we can to help protect your family.

Creating a luxury home theater today is limited only by your imagination. Advanced technology means you can now have a superior level of audio and video in your home entertainment room that surpasses the impact and realism of even the best commercial cinema. Other outstanding new technology includes features such as special acoustics, sound proofing, drape and light automation, multi channel audio, universal remote, custom theater carpet and theater seating.

Enjoy a media center with high quality video and audio from anywhere you sit. Furthermore, we can take the clutter usually found in the family room and conceal the electronic components in cabinets and wall.  Now, projectors may be hidden in custom-made tables or bulkheads, speakers can be flush mounted to walls and ceilings, and retractable projection screens just disappear into overhead cavities.

Our innovative home theater designs and media centers can adapt to any space, whether you are building a new home, remodeling a spare room or completing an unfinished basement. No matter if you would like to simply upgrade your family room with surround sound and an LCD television or create your very own movie palace, we can help you to enjoy the authentic theater experience.
