A Robust Smart Security System Deters the Growing Number of Burglaries, Protecting Your Home and Family

Connecticut has long been considered one of the safest states in the nation, boasting the fourth-lowest crime rate in the U.S. Unfortunately, times change, and 2022 has seen our state’s property crime rate increase dramatically. These crimes range from package thefts to major burglaries.

On March 15, 2022, residents were upstairs sleeping in their Greenwich, CT, home when thieves entered and stole several items. The thieves also targeted a second house, but they were unable to break in. The police are reminding residents to lock their doors and set their alarms. There has also been an uptick in car thefts. Today, home security is more important than ever.

Plan Early as Supply Chain Upheavals Are Affecting Home Tech Solutions

You’ve probably heard about our current supply chain crisis. Labor shortages, transportation issues, and insufficient raw materials have stopped production in its tracks. Tech has been particularly hard hit, from gaming consoles to home entertainment systems and all aspects of custom integration.

Now that the holidays are ramping up, demand is exponentially increasing, putting a strain on an already overloaded system. Have you recently spoken to an integrator about setting up a consultation for a home automation installation, only to receive a blank stare? That’s the compromised supply chain in action.

Let’s look at what’s being affected and what homeowners in Westchester County, NY, can do to get their projects going before the holiday season kicks into full gear.

A Comprehensive System Saves Property And Lives

Your home should be a place of sanctuary and solace. As the days grow shorter and the weather becomes colder, we invariably spend more time indoors. A smart security system offers peace of mind by protecting the property you worked to gain and the safety of those you love.

Integrated security monitors more than just entry points and yards. It alerts you of issues like fire, carbon dioxide, water leaks and temperature levels that could cost you more than money. So whether you are in the next room or at your vacation home, receive real-time notifications of trouble or allow access to your Pound Ridge, NY home with a touch of a button or through your mobile app.

Upgrade Your Viewing Experience with Stunning Video and Superior Audio

Autumn in Harrison, NY, brings with it a lot of good things, the air is crisper, the humidity is lower, and warm comfort foods are in vogue again. The season is also an ecstatic time for sports fans with an embarrassment of riches as major league baseball enters the playoffs and the NBA, NHL, NFL, and NCAA all begin a new year of play.

Being a fan of a team or league is a visceral experience that gets your heart pumping watching the action on screen. In fact, a seminal study by The Performance Lab at the University of Chicago shows that active and consistent participation in watching games increases language capacity and a greater ability to understand abstract concepts.

In order to maximize the enjoyment, you want a home media room that creates the ultimate sports arena atmosphere, putting you right in the game. Continue reading to learn more.
