In this blog, we’re doing just that, but we’d also like to share our knowledge with you. Before we move on to all these exciting trends, let’s take a quick look back at 2018 and how that emerging tech has prepared itself for the new year.

Technology has become essential to our daily routines. When it stops working, our lives grind to a halt.

Think about how powerless you feel when your smartphone battery runs out while you’re on the go. Or what a massive hassle it is when your Internet service is interrupted. If you have a smart home, you’re even more dependent on complex, interconnected technology.

That is why it’s so important to work with a smart home company like BRAVAS Dallas for guidance and support. We lead you through the design and installation process for all of your home technology systems and help you understand your technology once it’s been integrated into your home, whether in University Park or elsewhere in Texas.

Lighting may be one of the most important, yet overlooked, details when it comes to design and construction. We often joke about the inclusion of “four cans and a fan” passing for lighting design, which is a sad commentary on how little attention is placed on lighting in many projects.  

Lighting literally changes the way we view our surroundings as our eyes are simply capturing reflected light. Poor lighting is commonly understood to create aesthetic and safety issues, but we are learning more about how lighting can effect our health and wellness, specifically the color of that lighting.  

High performance audio and an immersive music experience requires that the sound infiltrate your whole Westlake, TX house. Wouldn’t you love to host a party where the speakers pulsated with the same beat throughout the home AND the patio, playing your favorite song for the entire party to hear? What if you could pause your movie halfway through, and resume it in another room — because your audio-video equipment was all in sync?

Audio and video components are essential elements of your company’s daily functions. Whether you’re delivering multimedia presentations to clients or connecting with remote employees all over the world, you need commercial A/V solutions that will provide high performance, scalability, and flexibility for your office's ever-changing needs.

The experts at BRAVAS Dallas have your back. We can provide your business with a professional audio video installation that significantly enhances the functionality of your Dallas, TX office. Keep reading to learn about three ways commercial A/V technology can help your employees be more productive and have some fun during the holiday season.

Everyone needs to be doing more to conserve energy. Earth doesn’t have unlimited resources, and each new scientific study examining the sustainability of our environment comes back with grimmer and grimmer results. But it’s not too late to make small changes in our lifestyles that can have a significant impact on the future of our planet.

Smart home automation does a lot to make our lives more comfortable, but it also presents opportunities to make our homes more energy efficient. A motorized shade installation can help you cut down on energy consumption by regulating temperature and brightness, and our brand partner, Lutron, offers the most reliable technology with the most comprehensive and easy-to-use control system.

Keep reading to learn how a Lutron motorized shade installation can help you have a greener home, which is good for both the Dallas, TX community and the world at large.

You probably never thought you would hear hear that from an A/V company, but for some of our Dallas clients we now have a better option. If you are looking to mount a TV over your fireplace, or inside an existing cabinet then a traditional TV such as a Sony Z9D or Samsung Frame is still the best answer. But if you are after a theater-like experience without the giant projector hanging off the ceiling we have a great solution for you. 

Your home network is fundamental to how you use your living space. You can work from home because you can connect with coworkers and clients at any time. You can listen to music in any room because you have wireless speakers connected to a smart home control system that lets you choose what you want to hear, wherever you want to hear it.

But what happens if you try to hop onto an important conference call and your Internet connection goes out? Or you invite friends over to binge a new Netflix series and you’re stuck with blurry visuals because the stream isn’t buffering at high definition? Having speakers in every room isn’t any good if you can’t access your music service.

In our latest blog, we look at how a home network setup can increase the functionality of your Colleyville home by strengthening your Internet connection so it can handle all of your smart technology.
