Automation
Let’s
face it, we live in a complicated age. It seems as if every item in
the house requires part of our daily lives to keep it running. Too many
remote controls, lights that need to be turned on and off hourly, heaters
and air conditioners that are skyrocketing monthly bills with the new
energy crunch, pool and spa controls that you have to trudge inside
with wet feet to operate… where is the relief?
AMX.
AMX
is an integration systems manufacturer that specializes in taking all
the disparate subsystems throughout the house, tying them together,
and allowing them to be accessed throughout the home, away from the
home, or automatically. Some would call this “smart home technology”.
Unfortunately, most smart home products are just toys that are unreliable
and provide few choices in the way people can run their homes. AMX is
a residential product built by company that manufactures very powerful
commercial integration systems. With their wide array of processors,
LCD touchscreens, keypads, and control software, virtually anyone can
learn to run an entire house in a matter of a few minutes.
More
importantly, AMX systems are designed to run in tandem with partner
manufacturers, so functionality can be shared from one product in the
home to another. For example, the AMX Lighting system can receive information
directly from Apex Alarm Systems products. Since the AMX and Apex communicate
with each other, sensors and detectors can be used to trigger on lights
when a family member enters a room and turn off lights when the room
is vacant. Since all AMX products run on a network, any part of the
system can be changed and added as needed.
User
interfaces, such as keypads and touchpanels have very unique features,
such as built-in thermometers, clocks, and microphones. Each keypad
is capable of running up to thousands of devices in a single home, even
though it fits in a standard single-sized wall box. Moreover, the keypads
can display caller ID of incoming calls and screen those calls. They
can even intercom from one room to another utilizing flush-mounted architectural
speakers which are built into the walls and ceilings. The days of clunky
Nutone squawk-box systems are over!
Want
to put some spice in your home theater experience? AMX has advanced
touchpanels that will display video on the panel itself. Want to see
who is at the front door without having to miss your favorite football
game or movie? Just press a button and you see the front door camera
on the touchscreen. With inclusive software, you can pan, tilt, and
zoom in to get a better view. You can even videoconference through the
touchpanel with additional webcam software.
With
over 13 years experience, we can provide proven solutions to our ever-growing
complex world. AMX equipment is modular, so you can start with a modest
cinema system and use the same parts to build a full-blown integration
system. For those who own several homes and want the ability to interconnect
and control off-site, AMX's Netlinx product offers a variety of web-based
systems powerful enough to run several estates from virtually anywhere
in the world. A property manager in San Francisco can maintain a French
chateau in real-time. Fantasy? No, AMX.
