Take Your Movie Nights Outside All Year Long

We’re lucky to live with beautiful weather from January to December here in Lighthouse Point, FL. So shouldn’t we make the most of the Florida sun and spend more time on our patios or by the pool? Unfortunately, most of us spend our evenings indoors with Netflix, Hulu, or the game on.

Outdoor TVs are changing that. We no longer have to stay cooped up inside on beautiful evenings with a weatherproof screen like Samsung’s The Terrace. The Terrace was first introduced in 2020 with several models for partial shade use. New in 2021 is the 75-inch model that boosts brightness for full-sun visibility.

Is an outdoor TV worth it? We’ll share all you need to know about The Terrace below so you can decide for yourself.

Enjoy a Long-Lasting Weatherproof Speaker System You Can Trust

All outdoor activities are just a little more enjoyable with music. Whether you’re grilling, working out, or sunbathing with a book, your favorite tunes always enhance the moment.

But it can be a hassle to bring your portable speaker outside every time you step through the door. Connecting over Bluetooth only seems to work half the time, and if you walk to another end of the yard, you probably won’t be able to hear music from a small, single device.

If that sounds like your current outdoor music setup, you could benefit from an outdoor sound system. Brands like Origin Acoustics and Coastal Source build durable weatherproof speakers that we install for year-round use in Parkland, FL. Whether you’re looking for audio on the patio, porch, or across the backyard, there’s a solution for you. We highlight which models will do best in each area below.

Security Options for Horse Stables and Training Facilities

Equestrian properties see many people arriving and departing throughout the day: entering stables and storage buildings, driving in with trucks of equipment, or riding through on a horse. If you own or manage an equestrian estate, you know how valuable the horses are to your livelihood and business. It would be a tragedy if anything were to happen to them.

Luckily, an access control system can alleviate your fears of trespassers or unwanted visitors. As a technology integrator, we’ve installed security and access control technology at an equestrian center in Wellington, FL. With the latest technology, they’ll now guarantee only permitted people can enter the facility.

Could your land be better protected by an access control system? Learn how it works and explore your options below!

How Equestrian Facilities Use Surveillance Technology to Ensure Horses Safety & Wellness 

If you own horses or run an equestrian facility, you know how much care and attention these wonderful animals require. A large stable with many horses is a lot to manage, and you may be wondering if there’s a more convenient way to guarantee the horses are safe, fed, and have the water they need.

We’re an automation technology integrator who has worked with equestrian facilities in the Wellington, FL, area. The horse owners we’ve partnered with now use a state-of-the-art equestrian surveillance system in and around their facility with night-vision cameras and a property-wide network.

In this article, we’ll share how security and networking technology can assist in caring for your horses.

Shared Space: What You’ll Need 

High-Quality Headphones 

Maybe the rest of your family doesn’t want to hear ‘Call of Duty’ gunshots or your galloping horse in ‘Red Dead.’ If they are in the media room too, you can still privately treat yourself to incredible game audio with high-quality headphones. 

Sony manufactures premium headphones with large internal drivers and noise-canceling features. It will feel like there’s a real surround sound system in your ear! And wireless models let you move about the room freely without being yanked by a cord. 

But if you’re looking for a headset to chat with friends online, choose a noise-canceling microphone with decent voice quality that won’t pick up background sounds. Brand like Focal are often cited as the best headset brands. 

Acoustical Treatments 

If headphones aren’t your style and you’d rather play over a speaker system, ensure your audio sounds its best with acoustical treatments. Soft materials on the walls and floor will help absorb excess sound frequencies, so there aren’t echoes. We install fiberglass panels to absorb frequencies and sound diffusers to scatter noise for evenly balanced sound.
