Distributed Audio

With just a press of a button, you can play popular music and tunes in any part of your home.  With distributed audio – speakers strategically placed throughout your house all connected through a single system – the songs don’t have to stop. Set your system to play an energetic song as you wake up in the morning, and speakers located in your hallways can continue playing the music as you make your way to the kitchen. Then while you relax in the living room or outside on the porch, play a calming tune or a soundtrack filled with ambient sounds. Start an audiobook in the bedroom, and finish it up as you go about the day’s routine throughout the house. You can pause and play with ease through a control application on your smartphone, or have songs carry over from one room to the next – from the basement to the laundry room to the entire upstairs. You have total control in selecting which rooms you want music to play in. Access streaming services like Spotify or Pandora using your control interface. You also can adjust volume, switch songs and playlists, or search through a virtually infinite library of music. You can elevate any event you host by playing DJ and pumping up the dance tunes, or wind down with friends and family as you turn on background music to talk over. Distributed audio helps you create your desired atmosphere every time.  

Distributed Video

Just like whole-home audio, distributed video means you can watch your films and shows in any space. Use your multi-purpose media room to have the ultimate movie night – but never feel limited to just one room for the entertainment. With a distributed video system, all of your video sources will be stored in one centralized location, and we’ll make sure you can access them from any TV in your house. So, if you want to watch a Blu-ray movie from your bedroom TV, you still can – even if the Blu-ray player is stored elsewhere in the house! There’s no need for clunky boxes alongside every TV in your home. You also can control your multi-room video setup using the same smartphone or tablet application you would manage a multi-room audio system through. Simply select the room you want to watch in, what video source you want to watch from (regardless of whether it’s from a cable or satellite box, a Blu-ray player or even a media-streaming device) and instantly your control application on your mobile device will act as a remote for the exact TV you are watching from. It’s really that simple. You even can start watching a movie in your living room, pause it, and then resume watching from your TV in the master bedroom. Just check out this short video to explore how easy it is to control your home’s TVs through a multi-room video setup: Bringing distributed audio video to your living space can make entertaining friends and family easier than ever.

Many people move out to the suburbs in order to move to a safer area, and for the most part, the suburbs are safer. Recently the National Council for Home Safety and Security ranked the safest cities with a population over 10,000 in Tennessee. They looked at the average crime rates per 1,000 people and in two different kinds of crime: violent crime and property crime. Overall in the state the violent crime rate was 9.45 and the average property crime rate was 39.33 per 1,000.

To imagine your home as a true smart home, with intelligent technology in all the right places, may be quite a challenge. Today’s technology for the home is moving fast. To truly understand the possibilities you need expert guidance, and the opportunity to experience the technology in action.

Outdoor entertaining has become very popular in recent years. Simple patio furniture used to be the only thing you saw on patios and decks. Times have changed and people have realized how great it is to have an outdoor oasis. It’s a place where you can relax and unwind from the stresses of the day, enjoy time with family and friends, and take in the best entertaining outdoors.

You’ve probably seen an ad or promotion recently for some type of DIY Security System. Often billed as unmonitored or self-monitored systems, the ads appeal to your desire to provide a safe and secure environment for your family. They promote the ease of installation, the limited investment, and sometimes the convenience of a broadband Internet connection. It sounds like a good deal, but is it really?

It’s the middle of the night, everyone has been in bed for hours, and your home is completely dark. You suddenly hear your backdoor forced open! Your security alarm triggers with violent ringing and you know that your family’s safety is on the line. Time is of the essence.

The ceiling fan broke, breakers are turning off, an outlet stopped working and you don’t know why. Your home’s electrical system needs experienced help.

Before you pick up the phone, consider what type of electrician you need.

If your home is older the electrical system may be outdated. You need a highly experienced electrician who knows how to work with dated wiring systems. Outlets in your kitchen and bathrooms may require updated GFCI receptacles to ensure safety for your family. Even the smallest project in an older home needs an electrician who understands the wiring of older homes.

Finding the right shades for your home can be tricky, especially if you have windows that are difficult to reach to change the lighting. If you want more than one lighting option for your spaces, like brighter for working hours and lower when entertaining, we have a smart feature for you that will allow you to control the lighting and shades from anywhere with devices you already own.

With a conventional light switch, you only have two options: on and off. Lutron Lighting offers wireless dimmer controls on lights to give you many more options in the lighting of your space. If you want to create cozy and romantic spaces or bright and lively ones, this lighting gives you the option. Lutron Lighting is also perfect for your home theater or media room, offering you ultimate control and integration.

Meeting rooms host many workplace events, from important business announcements to celebrations and even crucial business negotiations. These rooms can set the tone for your business culture as well as make a positive first impression on potential clients. Symspire knows how to seamlessly integrate all the technology you need in a meeting room.

According to a recent study from Futureforce Consulting, 20% of the companies surveyed said they plan to add additional meeting spaces. Employees have also noticed a 50% increase in their own use of meetings rooms for collaboration and communication. The increase in usage means that these rooms also need to increase in efficiency. No one has time to sit in a meeting room waiting for a call to connect to the audio system or for the screen to come down from the ceiling.
