The Number One Priority for Businesses: Protecting Staff

What is your most valuable asset? Most employers would recognize that it’s their employees. In fact, ensuring a happy staff will go a long way in running a successful business. As Simon Sinek said, “Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.” One of the best ways to instill passion and loyalty is by taking proactive measures that let your employees know they're cared for. Protecting your team members should be the top priority of every business leader. 

In addition to training them to recognize danger and respond accordingly, operators can integrate security measures that keep them safe. An access control system is vital in this area and offers a “safety net” for your staff in Dallas, TX. If you’re interested in employing these critical devices, our team at Texadia Systems in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is here to help.

Heard, Not Seen: Audio That Blends into Your Home & Backyard

Whatever your style is, you can enjoy music, podcasts, radio, and any audio with a whole-home speaker system. 

But many homeowners are unsure where they’d put speakers in every room for a whole-home audio system. If you’re a minimalist, manufacturer James Loudspeaker has the solution for you. 

James Loudspeaker offers sleek in-wall and in-ceiling speakers alongside some unique disguised speaker options. So when guests visit your house, they’ll have no idea where that beautiful music is coming from!

Use Digital Signage to Increase Communications, Brand Awareness, and Profits

According to Precedence Research, in 2021, the global digital signage market was valued at $21.9 billion. By 2030, that number is expected to reach $42.54 billion. Pretty remarkable. 

Why the growing demand? The rapid growth is due, in part, to adigitized sign’s ability to attract attention from the target audience. Screenfluence reports that a digital display captures 400% more views than static displays. That’s a lot of attention! 

Has your Fort Worth, TX, business got on the digital signage bandwagon yet? If you’re wondering what all the excitement is about, just take a look around. It’s hard to miss those bright-colored moving displays. And if you'd like to learn more about this growing trend, contact Texadia systems today.

Today’s Lighting Design Combined with Smart Technology Creates Stunning Spaces

What’s the first thing you do when you wake in the morning and go to sleep at night? For many people, it’s turning on their lights. Whether flipping a light switch, controlling a dimmer, or tapping an in-wall keypad, light is with us 24/7 and enables us to complete our tasks and live in a beautiful environment. Like many things that have become commonplace, it’s easy to take it for granted.

Today, however, lighting technology is quickly evolving. Now, your lights can automatically illuminate in the morning and change color and intensity throughout the day. They can support your well-being by mimicking the sun's light and set the stage for every occasion with one tap on a touchscreen. 

Today’s designers and integrators consider the effect lighting has on one's moods and emotions, blending art and technology to create spaces that are both functional, breathtaking, and conducive to focus and relaxation.

To achieve this level of lighting design, you need an experienced smart lighting integrator. At Texadia Systems, we specialize in combining the latest technology with the best practices in residential lighting design. In this blog, we explore how our lighting design expertise helps to transform homes in Highland Park, TX, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

3 Reasons Why Lutron Palladiom Is the Designer’s Choice for Custom Shades

As technology advances, our lives quickly transform, and we forget how much easier and more convenient they’ve become. One day, we’ll look back on manual shades in the same light—a necessity that required getting up and tugging at cords to close or raise the window coverings.

If you haven’t considered motorized shades because you’re concerned about how they’ll integrate into your home’s aesthetics and lifestyle, you’ll be happy to hear about Lutron's Palladiom line. These window coverings are the designer’s choice for custom shades. Let’s explore their many features and how they’re transforming homes in Dallas, TX, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area. 

If you’d like to learn more about Palladiom motorized shades or one of the many other smart window coverings in Lutron’s lineup, contact Texadia Systems.

Want the Biggest Visuals Possible? Learn More about Sony BRAVIA

If you’re thinking about installing a home theater soon, you typically have two options: to use a projector system or TV. 

In the past, most homeowners opted for a projector and retractable screen to achieve cinema-sized visuals, since most TVs weren’t large enough. But today, you can enjoy stunning 4K video on 100 inches—that’s over eight feet—with the Sony BRAVIA XR X92. 

The Sony BRAVIA will surely give you enough space and dimension to feel like you’re in your own movie theater. But if you’re still unsure how it compares to a projector, we share everything you need to know below.

Time to Upgrade to Lighting Control and Design?

To attract talent, more businesses than ever are reconsidering their office design. From room layouts to desk arrangements, many companies are striving to create a more collaborative environment to bring the “WFH” workforce back into the office. 

If you’re undergoing an office renovation, there’s one key component that can’t be ignored: lighting. In a competitive hiring market, employees want to spend time in attractive spaces that lead to more satisfaction and productivity. Rows of uncomfortable fluorescent lighting won’t cut it anymore. 

Smart lighting and shading offer a convenient, automated way to transform the atmosphere of your Dallas, TX business. You can activate lights and shades wirelessly and even remotely from the same smart system that controls your conference room AV.

New to lighting control? Learn how it works and why modern businesses are adopting it below. And to get started in your organization, contact Texadia Systems here.  

Whether You Use Teams, Zoom, or Another Platform, Here’s How to Improve the Meeting Room Experience

Workplace meetings today look very different than they did only a decade ago. No longer can we expect everyone to be in person all the time. Nor are we only meeting virtually, as was the case in the early 2020s. Today, hybrid conferencing is more prevalent than ever, with some meeting participants gathered in person while others call in over video.

If your business is trying out hybrid meetings, how is the audio? For example, do you have to strain to hear the display speakers at the front of the room? And to your remote colleagues, do conversations sound distant and muffled?

To create a seamless, high-quality conferencing experience, you need speakers and microphones to draw everyone into the call. Here’s how we can integrate AV with your unified communication solutions for superior hybrid meetings.

If you’d like to learn more about our conference room installations, contact Texadia Systems in Fort Worth, TX. 

Simplify Video Calls with a Tap of a Button 

Since 1981, Logitech has been one of the world’s biggest names in computer hardware and software. In fact, we’re willing to bet you’ve used or owned Logitech’s products before—perhaps their computer mice, keyboards, computer speakers, remote controls or webcams. 

Today, the Swiss company continues to produce the highest-quality equipment while adapting to modern needs. As hybrid video meetings have become increasingly popular, Logitech has evolved too, building conferencing hardware that simplifies the hybrid meeting process.

Logitech’s Tap meeting room controller integrates audio and video to your preferred meeting software, whether that’s Zoom, Microsoft Teams, RingCentral, or Google Meet. It also offers hardware bundles to suit small, medium, and large spaces, so everyone is heard and seen clearly.

Here’s how Logitech’s conference room technology can help your business thrive. And to have conference room technology installed in your Fort Worth or Dallas, TX offices, contact Texadia Systems to learn more about our services.  

Command Your Lights & Shades Alongside Other Home Devices

Imagine lights that know where and when to turn on and motorized window shades that rise on their own. And imagine lights that, in the evening, gradually dim and warm to a golden shade of white. Finally, consider what life would be like if you replaced light switches with keypads customized to daily life, with buttons like “Dinner” and “Away.” 

It’s all a reality when you own a Lutron lighting control system. Lutron intelligently syncs all your lights, shades, and even smart thermostats to a central controller. So whether you’re using the Lutron app or pressing a button on the wall, you can activate and adjust your lights’ appearance anytime. 

Some homeowners choose to install a Lutron system and leave it there. But you can take it further by integrating it into a greater smart home system, like Control4. Learn how Lutron works and enhances your Control4 smart home in University, TX.

Texadia Systems is a Control4 and Lutron dealer, serving the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Contact us here to learn more! 

Want to Minimize Your Energy Usage While Staying Cool? 

Texas summers mean heat—and a lot of it. With temperatures often reaching triple digits, it’s nearly impossible to get through the season without the air conditioning switching on multiple times an hour - even at night! But as everyone knows, cooling costs can accumulate on your monthly electric bills while harming the environment.

What can one do? Sweltering at home to be eco-friendly isn’t a practical option. But when you own a smart home system with technology like Lutron shades, smart thermostats, and automated lighting, you’ll instantly save energy while keeping cool. 

If you’d like to optimize your Highland Park, TX home’s energy usage year-round, learn how smart home technology can help below. And to implement these solutions, contact Texadia Systems here. 

Home’s Easier to Manage When Everything’s Connected

Sometimes life can feel splintered—like everything’s disconnected. We try to make time for our work life, home life, hobbies, and exercise. We try to stay in touch with hometown friends, college friends, and family. Social events, errands, bills, to-do lists—it all can make anyone feel overwhelmed! 

We could all use a little simplification in our modern, hectic lives. But you don’t have to go off-grid to achieve simplicity. In fact, we can stay connected and use technology to live more effortlessly. When you own a smart home system like Control4, all your home’s devices and functions are controlled by a single home controller. 

And when you work with a Control4 dealer like Texadia Systems, we’ll design a personalized home system that syncs to your lighting, audio, video, security, and more. Rather than use separate off-the-shelf devices, here’s why it’s beneficial to have a smart home that encompasses it all.

QSC is an audio manufacturer that just so happens to also offer cloud-based AV control platforms.

Wave Your Hand & Walk Right Through the Door 

What if you could implement access control without requiring everyone to touch fingerprint readers, pin pads, and door handles? With OpenPath, you’ll no longer need to touch anything to open doors in your business! 

What is OpenPath? OpenPath was recently acquired by Motorola. It is a new access control system that allows users to unlock doors with a wave of their hand—and nothing else. No key-turning, tapping, scanning, or entering information. And if your company has automatic doors and elevators, once you wave your hand, they open instantly.

We’re excited to follow OpenPath’s future and share it with businesses in the Dallas, TX area. So how does OpenPath access control work? Read on to find out!

Simplify the Meeting Experience with Zoom Room’s Smart Gallery

When the corporate world went remote two years ago, we grew accustomed to seeing our coworkers’ faces in small squares on a screen. Whether your company used Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or another conferencing platform, you could see and hear everyone clearly in the gallery view.

Now that businesses are returning to the office, many are trying to find a compromise between in-person and remote work. Video conferencing proves to be a useful tool that’s here to stay. Even if your company is back in the office, you’ll likely still use video meetings for interviews, training events, and meetings with clients in far-off locations.

But hybrid meetings are proving to be a head-scratcher for many business owners. Some people gather in the conference room while others are at home, which complicates the meeting experience and can lead to technical difficulties.

Here’s how, with the right technology in your video conferencing system, you can make hybrid meetings easier for your Dallas, TX, organization. Contact Texadia Systems to learn more for your business!
