Remote monitoring isn’t new. Before the cloud, however, electronics specialists like Spectrum would have to log into each and every piece of your network independently and separately. If changes were required, the command for the change would have to be uploaded multiple times to update each piece of equipment. Through Invision, we can monitor your entire system and make changes from a single connection. We can maintain your entertainment, your network, your HVAC, your lighting systems, and any device that resides on your IP network.

Sunlight can be just as invigorating at work as it is when you let it shine into your home. At the office, however, it can also create glare and overheat spaces and ultimately decrease productivity…not to mention offering a less-than optimal impression for visiting clients. Walking that fine line between healthy natural light and oppressive warmth used to be a difficult challenge. However, new wireless remote options have recently been designed to optimize comfort and lower energy costs. And when you work with an established professional technology firm like Spectrum, your office shade systems can also be automated and integrated with other controls for additional savings and comfort.

If you were hosting a family reunion or company event at your home, would you be ready for the overflow of guests onto your property outside? Would you be able to provide ambient music through landscape speakers, keep them up-to-date on the game with an outdoor television, or even offer controlled lighting to set the mood while accenting your architecture? If not, BRAVAS Boca Raton can help!

Acquiring your own high-quality whole-home automation system is a tremendous personal achievement; however, there is a “bigger picture” to consider:  Will investing in home automation increase your property value?  The answer is YES!  When residential network control is integrated correctly (most especially during the initial construction), your home immediately advances to a higher value.

Has it ever been easier for homes and businesses to monitor what’s happening at the house or on site? Not likely. In South Florida and throughout the nation, it seems like everything is wireless and connected. Security is no exception. The goal remains the same: to protect your family, your valuables, your inventory, as well as your employees and clients. The difference is real-time monitoring on your smart phone or tablet and immediate contact with authorities should anything be amiss.

Whether remodelling an existing space or constructing a new home (and home theater), you’re going to want to work with a personal technology professional who is adept at collaborating with interior designers, architects, electricians and more. Why? BRAVAS Boca Raton has a few reasons for clients throughout South Florida and beyond…

 Welcome to our blog!

BRAVAS Boca Raton is a full-service design and installation firm specializing in home and office technology. We’ll be using this space to announce important Spectrum company news, spotlight preferred manufacturers and components, and generally keep in touch. Each post will also introduce another aspect of “The Spectrum Experience.”

Looking for a simple way to improve your property appeal, make your life easier AND reduce your energy costs at the same time? Then you’re really looking for the “Spectrum Experience” for lighting controls!

If you haven’t explored how connecting your lighting system can add a whole new dimension to your life, consider: Imagine having your lights dim automatically, enacting preset “scenes”(like “dinner party” or “kid’s night”) so only the fixtures you need come on, in the colors you’ve set for that scene; imagine getting up at night and walking to the kitchen, and the lights in your path automatically fade on and off so you don’t have to feel around for switches or startle anyone with excessively bright bulbs; or imagine your lights interacting with other home systems such as motorized window shades, security systems, thermostats and whole-house control and automation systems to maintain the temperature and economize energy use.
