As demand for smart security systems increases, make sure you include these devices

If you’re a builder, contractor, designer or otherwise involved in the home construction business, it’s crucial for you to include smart security in your houses. According to industry forecasts, demand for smart security devices in the U.S. is expected to increase by 10 percent every year through 2025, reaching $11 billion in revenue by then. Not having smart security in the homes you build could well cost you customers and money.

But if you don’t have experience designing and installing these systems, how do you know where to start? That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help contractors, designers and other building professionals choose the right security camera installation for your clients. Here are four basic camera types that are well suited to new homes in the Fort Lauderdale region of Florida.

Stash your home audio/video equipment in your walls, ceiling or furniture for a cleaner look

While your home theater and speakers deliver impressive visuals and sound, they’re rarely designed with your home’s interior design in mind. TVs may be thinner than in the past, and high-end speakers often have a futuristic look, but they still draw attention away from other décor in a space.

Living with these unsightly electronic behemoths is simply a face of life, right? It turns out that’s not the case. With clever planning and engineering, it’s easy to hide your home audio/video gear in discreet locations while still being accessible whenever you need them. Here’s how Florida homeowners in the Hypoluxo area can give their media room or home theater a makeover with hidden A/V.

The best way to create a smart home with minimal headaches is to bring in an integrator as a partner. Today’s blog will lay out all the advantages builders, designers and others can gain by working with an integrator on smart home automation projects in the Fort Lauderdale, FL, region.
