Revamp Your Home Theater for Football Season!

Are you getting ready to build the home theater of your dreams? The one you’ve put on the back burner and finally decided, “It’s time!” 

There’s no better home entertainment than a home theater that aligns with your vision while providing the best possible experience—images and sound that captivate and carry you away. 

Achieving this state of total immersion requires video so lifelike that you’re no longer relaxing in a recliner. Instead, you’re on a passenger liner amidst storm-tossed seas or in a plane hurtling toward the Pacific Ocean. 

So, how do you get to this level of realism? 

One word: madVR

madVR is the most advanced, highest-quality video processor. What’s interesting is that in the massive decisions you’re faced with when designing a home theater, few consider the video processor. And yet, it is one of the most essential pieces of equipment for those who want the ultimate immersive experience. 

Whether watching the latest blockbuster or cheering on your favorite team with friends, a great video processor will transform the moment.

Experience Peace of Mind 24/7 with Smart Security/Surveillance

Among all the smart technologies available for your home, one of the most essential is a security/surveillance system. Today’s home security offers comprehensive protection, a significantly different technology from its predecessors. 

How do these systems work, and what do they manage? Today, they integrate with nearly every smart device, from audio and video to lighting, thermostats, smart door locks, garages, and motion sensors. You can manage them all right from your smartphone or mobile device, no matter where you are in the world. 

Here, we’ll explore the peace of mind that comes when a smart home works together to protect your home and family 24/7.

Why Early Technology Planning Creates More Successful Luxury Homes

In luxury home construction, timing is everything. The decision of when to consider home automation can make the difference between a seamlessly integrated smart home and a patchwork of technology solutions. At Sierra Integrated Systems, we've seen how incorporating technology planning during the blueprint stage leads to superior results for both the homeowner and the build team. When technology becomes part of the design conversation from day one, it transforms from an afterthought into an integral aspect of the home's functionality and aesthetic.

Why You Should Engage a Low-Voltage Contractor Early in the Design Phase

A low-voltage electrical technician plays a critical role when incorporating smart home technology. Unfortunately, integrating home automation is far too often an afterthought, resulting in costly change orders, incompatibilities, and delayed and over-budget projects. 

When low-voltage contractors are not involved in the early stages of a project, low-voltage technicians are unable to execute the project effectively, and the aesthetics, performance, and the client’s overall experience suffer. Here, we’ll explore why involving low-voltage contractors in the earliest design stages ensures a seamless outcome, maximizing functionality and design.
