Create an Atmosphere You’d Love to Call Home 

In 2021, a study by Redfin found that most homeowners are living in their houses for an average of 13.2 years—up from 10.1 years in 2012. As more people stay put, they’re looking for ways to invest and improve their homes. If you’re also considering a renovation, is lighting in your plans? 

A great lighting design has the power to transform your home experience. When applied correctly, lighting can create an illusion of space and depth. And with a centralized lighting control system, it’s easier than ever to customize and adjust lighting settings. 

Here’s how upgrading your home’s lighting can benefit your Southlake, TX, home. And to learn more about lighting control and design, contact Texadia Systems here!

How Service Plans Benefit the Smart Homeowner 

As technology advances, smart home automation has become increasingly popular among homeowners in the Southlake, TX, area. A smart home can offer convenience, comfort, and security with access to all the home’s devices from one central location. 

But however sophisticated a smart home may be, technology can always have unpredictable hiccups. And should a homeowner want to make any changes or upgrades to their smart system, that’s where after-sale services and support come in. 

In this blog, we'll explore why after-sale services are beneficial for home automation installations and what these service plans typically entail. If you’re ready to discuss your smart home plan, contact Texadia Systems here! 

Waste Less Time & Make the Most of Video Conferencing 

Why does it seem like during the most important meetings, technology fails? Maybe it only feels that way, but we’ve all experienced tech not working when we need it most. 

As the modern workplace moves further online with virtual communication and video conferencing, it’s essential to have systems in place that are intuitive to use and troubleshoot. In the conference room, you should be able to start video calls in seconds, with all the essential hardware connected to video conferencing software. 

If your conference room AV isn’t there yet, no worries. Here’s how standardization can help your hybrid meetings run more smoothly. And if you’re ready to upgrade your business’s video conferencing, contact Texadia Systems in Dallas, TX, to get started. 

Unify Teams, Collaborate & Succeed Across Different Locations 

What is a digital workplace? Put simply, it’s a network of connected technologies that allow a business to communicate, store and share information, and conduct business virtually. Today’s digital workplace solutions are so sophisticated that entire companies can function remotely without stepping into a physical office. 

Whether your company is remote, hybrid, or has different office locations, the digital workplace is the future of modern business. With the right tools, your teams can still perform all their daily obligations and seamlessly join meetings, even if they’re time zones away. In-person companies can benefit from the digital workplace, too. You'll be prepared if staff travels for work or far-away clients want to communicate virtually. 

Here’s what you’ll need to create a digital workplace for your Dallas, TX, business. And to get started, contact Texadia Systems here! 

Make the Most of Hybrid Work & Your Conference Rooms  

We hear it all too often from all different businesses: “We come into the office, but we don’t meet.” Or, “We still conduct meetings from our desks on our computers. Everyone is still separated.”

It saddens us to hear businesses aren’t benefiting from modern hybrid technology—because the tools are there! We have solutions that unite in-person and remote staff with clear, comprehensive audio and video. Many businesses simply don’t know what they’re missing or where to look. 

So let us introduce you to Teams Rooms, the conference room solution for Microsoft Teams systems. Here’s why modern businesses need Teams Rooms to succeed in the hybrid world of video conferencing.

How Good Can Smart Lighting Be?

For anyone that loves new technology or has a passion for interior design, smart lighting control is an exciting new addition to any home. While smart lighting has been eagerly buzzed about in recent years, there’s a wide range of LED lighting products available to choose from. 

At the lower end, you’ll find DIY smart bulbs like the Philips Hue models that can be screwed into lamp fixtures and connected to your phone over Wi-Fi. But smart lighting can get much more sophisticated than this, with high-end Ketra lighting fixtures and Lutron systems that offer whole-home control. 

If you’re interested in lighting control, you have some options. Are you fine with lower-grade LED solutions or ready for luxury systems like Ketra? We compare both below to help you find the best option.

A Look at Coastal Source’s New Razor Speakers

Coastal Source has long been a significant player in the outdoor audio industry. Its satellite and bollard speakers are built to endure all weather conditions while blending into natural landscaping. 

But now Coastal Source has unveiled a new, exciting line of outdoor audio—the Razor speakers. Razor brings true high-fidelity audio to wall-mounted exterior speakers, the first of its kind. “We’ve become known for landscape speakers that go out in the yard,” says Coastal Source president Franco D’Ascanio. “But our dealers want us to bring that same quality to patios and decks.”

Below we share the best features of the new Razor speakers and how they complete any outdoor speaker setup. And if you’re looking for an outdoor audio installation in Dallas, TX, contact Texadia Systems here to learn more.  

Embrace the Future of Business Communication

When companies fail to adapt, they often get left behind. From Blockbuster to BlackBerry phones, brands that didn’t get ahead of the digital revolution soon became relics of the past.

Those examples may seem extreme, but if your business hasn’t adapted to hybrid meetings yet, will that cause issues down the line? You may encounter clients or partners that want to communicate over video call, and your in-person team won’t be able to adequately meet with them. That could send a subconscious signal that your company is behind the times. 

With a smart video conferencing system in place, your Dallas, TX, staff can seamlessly join video calls even with a room full of people. Here’s how it works and why it will help your teams grow and thrive.

Choose Whichever Methods Work for Your Business’s Security

How does your business manage who can enter your buildings? Do you use physical keys or card readers—or trust someone at a front desk to monitor everyone who walks inside?

If you’re looking to boost security for your Plano, TX, business, remote access control systems offer a convenient and secure way to manage and restrict access to your company’s facilities and sensitive areas. Rather than use one computer to manage access control, a remote system lets you do it all through the cloud. So across multiple devices, you can log in and add new users, adjust permissions, and revoke access to terminated employees.

But which access control method is right for your business? There are various types of access control systems on the market, each with its own set of features and benefits. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the most popular options.

DMF’s LED Lighting Fixtures Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

We’ve written on this blog about how the key to great lighting design is in layers. Ideally, a room shouldn’t be illuminated only by a few overhead lights. Mixing ambient, accent, and task lighting layers will bring depth and emotion to the room with the freedom to add or remove lights for life’s different activities. 

When we need to source LED lighting fixtures for a lighting design project, time and time again, we look to DMF Lighting. DMF engineers and manufactures high-end LED light fixtures with modular housings for its range of lighting products. DMF’s warm-dim and color-tunable technology make it the perfect choice for smart lighting control systems.

Last year, DMF unveiled its new small aperture downlight, a revolutionary product for the lighting industry. Here’s what small aperture lighting means and why it can do wonders for your Dallas, TX, home.

Sync & Listen to Music in Every Area of Your Home 

How do you listen to music today? Maybe you use a portable Bluetooth speaker or voice-activated device that connects to music streaming. Or perhaps you have a turntable system with a pair of loudspeakers on either side of the record player. 

Whichever method you use, that can only fill one room at a time with music. Some people try to spread music by blasting their speaker’s volume, which is incredibly unpleasant for anyone standing close to the speaker and leads to poor quality sound. But there’s a better way to enjoy music, podcasts, and audiobooks at home: a whole-home audio system. 

Whole home audio works by connecting speakers to play in unison across your house. And with weatherproof speakers in the lawn, you can extend multi-room listening outdoors, too. 

How does it work—and what are your options? Here’s how to get started with whole-home audio in your Dallas, TX home. And to learn more about multi-room audio installations, contact Texadia Systems here. 

Create Your Own Luxury Retreat with Automation

Are you new to smart home automation? It’s much more sophisticated than a single smart bulb or voice-activated speaker. When you own a smart home system like Control4, the controller works like the brain of your house, connecting all your technologies, from smart window shades to security cameras. 

And with a smart home system, you can experience more than safety and convenience—you can create a place of ultimate luxury, like a wellness retreat or five-star luxury hotel.

Improve Presentations, Video Calls, and the Conference Room Experience

When gathering in the conference room for a presentation, does it require several minutes to assemble the display and audio? Do you need to find cables to connect a laptop to the main display or spend time emailing files back and forth to get the PowerPoint up? And when the meeting calls for someone else’s screen, are you back to finagling cables and files? 

What about meetings that involve both in-person and remote staff? Do you have an easy way to connect cameras and microphones for better communication? Or do your remote teams struggle to see and hear everyone in the boardroom?

If your McKinney, TX-area business often faces frustrating technical issues, you’re not alone. Many companies are struggling in the new hybrid landscape and finding their old boardroom technology no longer hits the mark. 

But there is a way to streamline your conference room experience for simpler, more efficient meetings. With a complete boardroom technology system, you can make your meetings easy to start with intuitive technology. Here’s how.

Merge Zoom Video Conferencing with the In-Person Experience 

Does your company conduct video calls in the conference room? And if so, do your teams find themselves straining to hear clearly—asking “What was that?” to remote participants? And do remote employees have to make do with a wide shot of your conference table, unable to see or hear each person clearly? 

It may be time for a different approach. Zoom, the popular video conferencing platform, is helping businesses overcome the hybrid hurdle with its Zoom Room solutions. Zoom Rooms integrate conferencing devices into the video call, making it easy to start virtual meetings. 

As a commercial technology integrator, we help businesses across the Fort Worth, TX, area by installing sophisticated conferencing and Zoom Rooms systems. Here’s why Zoom Rooms are worth it for the modern-day company.
