Home Automation

It’s today’s standard that greatly increases the value, safety, enjoyment and efficiency of your home. It’s technology that’s used to simplify and enhance your life at home.

Home automation and control is easy to use. Through simple touch panels, you can access, change and monitor your system. Whenever you leave your home, with the push of a single button, you can arm your security system, adjust the climate control and turn off the lights to save energy. You can even control your system via the web and phone.

We can program your system in a multiple of ways to enhance your lifestyle. Imagine the start of your day with the blinds automatically opening, your favorite music selection gently starting to play, and the coffee pot starting to brew your favorite blend. All this and you haven’t even gotten out of bed.

We’ll design your system so that it’s easily upgradeable. If you don’t need some features right now, you could simply choose to add them later. Whatever your needs call for and your budget allows, we can design a system that’s right for you.

HOME THEATER

A luxury home theater is limited only by your imagination. You can have a superior design that surpasses the impact and realism of the best commercial cinemas. Outstanding features include special acoustics, large screens, drapery, lighting, carpet, plush seating and easy-to-use control panels.

Our innovative home theaters are designed to adapt to any space in your home. Whether you are building a new home, remodeling a spare room or completing an unfinished basement, we will create the perfect environment for enjoying a movie, watching a concert or viewing a sporting event. You will feel like you’re in a commercial theater, but in the comfort of your own home.

Our specially designed media centers feature superb audio and high-definition video. Every family member will receive the same quality experience from anywhere in the room. In addition to family room enjoyment, we can eliminate the clutter usually found in media rooms by concealing the electronic components in an attractive cabinet. Speakers can be flush mounted into the walls and ceilings. We now offer framed televisions where artwork can be uploaded, such as a family portrait or they can subscribe to a service where artwork can be chosen according to their taste and style.

SAFETY and SECURITY

An integrated security system does more than sound a siren or call the monitoring station. It’s capable of automation tasks designed to further protect your home and family.

Our systems can turn on or flash lights in the event of an alarm. We can schedule lighting scenes that give your home a lived in look to prevent costly break-ins. Automatic lighting scenes can be pre-programmed to different levels depending on the time of day. Our system can even be designed to call you or send an email when your children have arrived home from school.

Adding cameras around the perimeter of your home can further enhance your security. An access control system can be used to protect against unauthorized entries into restricted areas while allowing easy access for authorized family members and guests.

There are even video surveillance capabilities over the Internet so you can get a visual check of your home via your office PC, Mac or smartphone.

HOME NETWORKING

A home network solution gives you and your family the ability to easily transfer files, such as documents, music and photos. An integrated network solution also enables your family to share a printer, scanner, fax and other computer equipment. There’s no need to purchase devices for every computer. We’ll connect every computer in the home, no matter if the computer is a desk top, lap top, wired or wireless

We can provide a system that gives you the security and flexibility you need. We can enable you to control your children from accessing the Internet. Imagine your son or daughter has wireless Internet access through his/her notebook computer. You can control the signal by putting the modem on a timer, thus preventing your children to access the Internet after midnight.

DISTRIBUTED AUDIO

Sometimes the most pleasure comes from what you hear, not what you see. With a distributed audio system, you can hear music wherever you are in your home. Listen to soft background music, crank up the volume for a summer BBQ, or distribute your favorite satellite radio program to every room. It is more than great sound, it’s a way of life.

With a multi-source distributed audio system, you can easily access any music source from any location. Select from your iTunes library, MP3 collection, CD collection, satellite radio and more. All these audio sources can be individually controlled by locally mounted keypads, which are easy to use. You can enhance your listening experience with individual balance and volume controls.

A whole-home music system eliminates clutter, awkward components and obtrusive speakers. Equipment is neatly concealed in one discreet location, yet easily accessible. The keypads are designed to blend in with the décor.

High quality speakers can be installed in your ceiling or wall to look nearly invisible. Outdoor speakers can be disguised as landscape rocks and placed in your yard or garden.

LIGHTING and CONTROL

Controlled lighting allows you to create the perfect setting in your home. An integrated system, along with motorized shades and draperies, enables you to adjust the aesthetics to your liking.

With the touch of a single button, you can select scenes for different scenarios, such as “reading,” “cocktail party,” or “movie viewing.” Imagine hosting a dinner and pressing one button to light the interior and exterior of your home in the most attractive manner. Your control panel will enable you to manage the lights throughout the entire home from any one location.

Lighting also creates a more secure home. As you approach your driveway, exterior flood lights automatically turn on, lighting the pathway from your garage to your home. Should you hear a strange sound in the middle of the night, with the push of a single button, you can turn on all the lights in and around your home. When you leave for vacation, you can press one button so that the lights turn on and off during pre-set times and the shades open and close to create a lived in look.

Integrated lighting solutions add value to your home. In addition, the systems increases your homes efficiency by reducing expenses. Preset timers can conserve power and save you money. The same wiring that commands the lights can also control lawn irrigation and pool temperature.

With controlled shading solutions, you can easily raise the shades to add sunlight or lower them to reduce heat buildup and have instant privacy. Shades can be pre-set to automatically open and close during a specific time of year, effectively controlling sunlight to prevent harsh U/V rays from damaging expensive furnishings. If you prefer to operate the shades yourself, you can simply push a button to adjust the shades at your convenience. Either way, you’ll be able to achieve the greatest beauty and efficiency in each room at all times.

STRUCTURED WIRING

We offer a complete range of structured wiring solutions to enhance the functionality and efficiency of your home. Our structured wiring systems provide for complete audio, video and data transmission throughout your home. Your system will include sophisticated wiring protocols built into the walls and a residential gateway that serves as the central hub for your electronics.

Our state-of-the-art data transmission structure allows for multiple phones lines, data streams, Internet access and audio / video signals to occur simultaneously throughout your home. Our wire management system is cleanly hidden inside your walls and can be accessed by you through multi-port wall plates that are placed exactly where you need them.

Our wire solutions allow for expansion when you are ready for it. Once your home is equipped, you will have the ability to enjoy whole home video and audio, computer networking, security, climate control, lighting and more. This solution will not only enhance your lifestyle, but it will increase the value of your home.

WHOLE HOME VIDEO

With a whole-home distributed video system, you can watch shows from your DVD player, satellite dish or other video sources on any TV in the home. Each video source can be simultaneously viewed. There is no need to purchase multiple equipment for each room because the system is centralized. The components can be hidden away in a closet, or if you prefer, mounted in an impressive rack system in your media room.

Family members can challenge one another with an exciting gamming system. Imagine the fun everyone will experience with xBox, Nintendo and other video games distributed throughout the home.

You can easily operate the entire video system with handheld remotes or wall mounted control panels. The only components needed in each viewing area are the speakers and TV screens.

With a camera in your children’s room, you can watch your kids from any TV in the home. A camera on your front porch enables you to see who is at the door through any monitor. Never open it without knowing who’s there.

Intec’s security systems and video monitored systems are monitored by one the best monitoring stations in the industry. Our station, located in Louisiana, is a UL-Certified, Five Diamond accredited station which means not only do they need to have a required number of dispatchers on staff at all times, but those employees are trained to the highest of industry standards.
