Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify best practices for wiring data centers, offices, homes and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable (i.e. CAT-5E, CAT-6, and fiber optic cabling). These standards define how to lay the cabling in various topologies in order to meet the needs of the customer. Typically this entails running all cabling to between one and four distribution points depending on the size of the building. At each of these locations cabling is neatly dressed usually into a 19 inch rack where it is terminated onto patch panels. Each cable is also terminated at its particular device location and tested to ensure it meets specific standards.

Access control is the process of proactively controlling the individuals who can enter your premises, thus increasing its security and integrity. This is accomplished through the use of electronically controlled locks, keypads, card readers, and access cards/key fobs, all regulated by a master controller. Whether you are a business with high security and privacy needs, or simply wish to monitor the comings and goings of employees, access control offers a solution for your business.

Surveillance systems have redefined how we protect our homes and businesses. The wide range of surveillance camera options available in the marketplace today offers a solution for every situation. Installations range from a high definition pan-tilt-zoom camera with the ability to capture the action in a major sports arena to a covert board camera monitoring the cash register at a small retail store. In order to make any camera installation complete it needs to be integrated with a digital or network video recorder. These devices not only allow you to record and store the video from your cameras for long periods of time, but they also allow you to access your cameras from anywhere in the world. Whether you are a school looking to monitor student activity or a business looking to minimize liability, a properly designed and implemented surveillance system can be the perfect decision.

Digital signage is a great way for businesses to advertise their products, both new and existing. It is also a great way to improve employee morale by increasing company communication to its employees. Many retail businesses find that it not only increases new customer sales, but also improves the satisfaction of their existing customers. The days of using fliers and posters are in the past and the most efficient and effective way of getting your message across is by utilizing technology.

For both businesses and residential customers alike the decision to distribute your audio / video content from one centralized location can cut both costs and clutter. By utilizing properly placed keypads and remotes in each room you will still have the ability to control all of your sources and in many cases receive their content information as well (i.e. song title, station name, etc.). Customers have often found that their listening and viewing experiences significantly improve due to the increased quality of in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, along with the higher video resolutions displayed on their television.

Monitored security systems are a must-have in today’s society. With the Department of Justice reporting an average of over 8,000 home invasions per day, it is becoming an all too common occurrence. When taking preventative steps in their own homes our customer’s often report personal property to be the least of their concerns. Customers with preconceived opinions based on older security systems have asked: Can a security system really do much to prevent the modern criminal? With the advancements in technology, security systems no longer just protect your doors and windows. Security systems today can monitor internal movements using infra-red and microwave technologies built-in to the newest motion detectors. They can also sense the smash-and-grab type intrusions with the use of high frequency glass break detectors. Besides home invasions, security systems can also monitor for fire, carbon monoxide, and flooding even when the system is disarmed. And if all of this isn’t enough: most insurance companies offer an annual 15-20% discount on your homeowner’s policy for having a monitored security system in place.
