• Do Your Meetings Need a Makeover?

Whether you’re pitching a sale to a client, reviewing a new program with other leaders, or doing a presentation for colleagues, it’s essential to have the best technology in the boardroom. If not, the entire meeting suffers. Unfortunately, most meeting rooms aren’t equipped with quality TVs, speakers, lights, or any form of automation. Today’s audio-video systems are smart and impressive. By upgrading to LED lights, 4K TVs or a projector/screen system, and high-quality speakers, you’ll never worry about muffled audio and poor image quality. Best of all, the technology can be easily accessed and controlled with a building automation tablet or from an app on your smartphone. The result is a productive and impressive meeting.

• See Your Business in a Different Light

Clients and customers aren’t fond of old fluorescent lights. Employees don’t like them either. Not only do they put a strain on the eyes, but they do nothing to cast your rooms in their best light. It’s time to upgrade to smart and tunable lights. Tunable lights (or human-centric lights) are completely adjustable – both the intensity and the color. For a welcoming and warm atmosphere, tune them to an amber hue. If you want more productivity, a blue tone is ideal. There are so many ways smart lighting can transform the look of your business. At the same time, smart lighting control allows you to preset them, so they turn off and on automatically based on the time of day, occupancy, natural light level, and more. It’s a great way to save energy and money.

• Something Stunning About Smart Shades

Motorized shades not only save energy, protect the interior of your business from UV rays, and increase indoor comfort, but they are sleek looking as well. Automated window treatments operate by light sensors, or you can program to raise and lower them at specific times during the day. In the morning, they let in warm natural light, and they close in the evening to ensure a secure building. Unlike traditional shades that require rods and cords to operate, smart shades move smoothly and silently on a track. Available in many styles, colors, and designs, motorized shades complement any décor. In fact, they do more than that. They elevate the ambiance of any business space.  

• How to Have a Safe and Secure Business

It takes more than a security guard and a few cameras to deter an intruder. Tech-savvy thieves know how to pick locks, disable cameras, and circumvent older security systems. Unfortunately, if you’re still using an old system, it puts your property and people at risk. Today, artificial intelligence is transforming the security industry. High-definition surveillance cameras record and monitor everything on your property with amazing accuracy. Most camera models include 360-degree views, pan-tilt-zoom features, and infrared technology. Best of all, they are smart enough to alert you by text, email, or phone call when they detect an intruder. When you have smart cameras, an access control system, and automated door locks at your business, you have a building that’s virtually impenetrable.
