"Distributed audio can even allow
three or four different things to
play in different rooms," LaRiviere
says. "You can operate the different
system with a Control 4 system,
and even tie everything into your
smartphone or tablet."
As for home security, even the most
basic systems are effective.
"With more packages being
delivered to homes by Amazon and
other online retailers, homeowners
want security systems, too. They can
be as basic as swapping out your old
doorbell for a new one with a high-
definition camera. They're motion
sensitive, you can view the camera at
any time, record, and even have two-
way radio capability."
Estabrook says it's important to get the installation
right the first time, no matter whether it's a basic
doorbell, one-camera system or high-end multi-camera system.
"There are so many options — technology is evolving very fast; there's
something in every price range. Some security cameras can be retrofitted
for under $300 and you can record locally with a micro SD card or a
traditional camera with an internal hard drive. Just get a reputable company
to do the system properly. And avoid costly monthly subscriptions."
The most important consideration when outfitting your home as a work
hub, entertainment centre and safe haven?
