“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” If that rings true to how you’ve been feeling lately, join the club. To put it mildly, the world has changed a bit over the last few months. However, our opportunities to enjoy our wonderful world have not. We simply have to enjoy it in different ways on occasion. A home theater install is a fantastic step toward doing exactly that. Synergy Integrated Systems has some creative solutions to get you started. (more…)
To say that times have changed over the last few months is the understatement of the century. Across the globe, many of us will have a before and after line of demarcation. Not only has the world changed quite a bit, so have our needs and desires. As we attempt to find a new sense of normalcy, many of us question what goals were previously important and try to make them fit into our new strategies as we move forward. Considering a home network during this transition period is a wise step. If installing a wireless network and utilizing a home router is part of your “after,” Synergy Integrated Systems can help. Offering Rukus, Luxul, and Araknis Networks, we work to ensure your satisfaction and exceed your expectations. (more…)
Over the past few months, many of us have truly realized how much our home is our sanctuary. A place of peace, rest and escape when the outside world seems a bit chaotic.

While we all strive to make it a safe and comfortable place, it’s also wise to make it a fun and entertaining space. Home theater installation is a fantastic way to achieve that goal.

Autonomy. That’s a big, broad and beautiful word. If you take it literally, it represents the idea of self-rule. Freedom. The right to govern yourself, etc. and et al. One may wonder.

A search for the best home network on the internet can feel a bit like falling into a rabbit hole. The internet in itself can become a maze of information. Every search leads to the access point of another. Those access points of information seemingly become endless. A never-ending labyrinth of knowledge. In fact, a few key lines from Alice in Wonderland come to mind.
“The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.”
Rabbits have diligent purpose as they create their maze of tunnels. Knowing which trail to follow requires expertise. If you choose the wrong tunnel, you may go deeper than expected as Alice did. Down she fell. After all, she wasn’t a rabbit. She didn’t have the expertise. (more…)
There are many products on the market that tout smart home automation. Numerous products for control and automation include programmable thermostats that make climate control easier. Other products, allow you to adjust lighting and window shades with a remote. Some help you control video and audio. Several provide remote access to control security and door locks. Our team at Synergy Integrated Systems, enjoys the proliferation of all this smart-house integration. Especially, when we find a company that does it all. ELAN Systems is that company. In fact, they’re one of the best and a global leader in automation systems.
What does that mean for you? We’d like to show you what it means. To fully visualize it, let’s imagine a day in the life of a smart home with total control thanks to ELAN Systems. (more…)
We have a word of the day for you – domotics. Perhaps, you’ve heard it. Likely, you haven’t, as we’ve noticed even our spell-checking platform is confused by it. Either way, it’s a fabulous word that results in fabulous things. Derived from the Latin word domus, meaning house, domotics refers to technology that makes a home smart. Basically, it refers to smart home automation. Better yet, we want to make YOU smarter by providing a little information on ELAN home automation.
A Brief History of Smart Home Automation
First, let’s backtrack a bit as we understand the full definition of domotics and smart home automation. In the early 1900s, the idea of household products doing work independently of human assistance proliferated with the introduction of electricity. Washers, refrigerators and sewing machines were just a few of the labor-saving machines that made our tasks at home easier.
By 1975, desire for more control met new technology. At this point, wired communication provided freedom to regulate additional devices with brief radio frequency bursts. Primarily, this led to remote control of lights and appliances. As we move into 2020, the landscape has grown even further.
What Can Be Smart in Your Home?
Essentially, it’s easier to consider what you can’t automate. Even with what you may come up with, there is probably a company out there with a solution! In fact, Synergy Integrated Systems is one of them. We strive to stay on the cutting-edge of smart technology and partner with the best companies capable of providing it. ELAN home automation is one of those elite providers. More importantly, we are proud to be an experienced installer of their products.
To best grasp what we can do for you and your home, consider how our expertise can make systems in your home operate smartly. Just a few things that you can currently control with smart home automation include:
Lighting – control ambiance no matter where you are
Video – movies, games, shows, whatever you like, view it from any room in the house
Sound – send sound soaring indoors and out
Heating and Air – schedule the atmosphere ahead of time or change temps with the touch of a button
Security -keep your home safe with innovative features
Sprinklers – water the lawn without even being home
Smoke and CO Detectors – synch sensors into your smart home system
Air Quality – monitor levels within your home
Kitchen Devices – cook dinner while you’re still at work
Blinds and Shades – control lighting without moving anything but your finger
Keep in mind, this just a sampling of what you can do.
Benefits of ELAN Home Automation
To understand the full benefits of ELAN home automation, it helps to have more specific examples. After all, you’re only as good as the tools you have. ELAN products are powerful, versatile and adaptable.
Initially, consider relaxation and entertainment. ELAN approaches these directives with several tactics to meet both goals. Using one interface, ELAN allows you to control music, video and essentially everything else with the touch of a button. Send sound soaring in any room of your house. Bring movies or your favorite sporting event with you as you enter new rooms. Change channels, turn audio up, turn it down, whatever you need, with a unified system.
Moreover, as you enjoy your sights and sounds, relax in the perfect ambiance. Manipulate lights, shades and blinds with one command. Or, set ambiance ahead of time to fit specific moods. Program lights to begin at specific times such as wake-up lighting. Or, request a mood when you’re ready for it such as party lighting or dinner music.
Similarly, control climate to set the perfect environment. Once you get comfortable, the last thing you want to do is hop up and adjust air. Change the temperature with the touch of a button. Likewise, climate systems actually anticipate what you may need. Therefore, you can relax in comfort without giving it a second thought. Pre-set climate for various times of the day, eliminating the need for changing the thermostat at various times.
Enjoy the outdoors? Your smart home does too! Remotely, program the hot tub to heat and open the lid before you head out to hop in. Set music and lighting throughout your outdoor space for the perfect ambiance. Forgot to water the lawn? No worries, your automated smart home remembers for you.
All of the elements mentioned above are also easy to use. ELAN’s intuitive systems are easy to understand and enjoy. Better yet, their elegant controls blend seamlessly into your home.
Why You Should Make Your Home Smarter
Now that you know smart home capabilities, you may wonder why you should begin installation now. Foremost, this technology is more affordable than ever. Plus, it’s advanced to a point that it’s also easy to update when it advances again. Okay, we admit, that may sound a little confusing. To clarify, you don’t have to add all systems at once. If you desire to advance your system later, you can. Or, if technological options improve, installing new products is much simpler than in the past. Integration is the key. More and more home products are made to work seamlessly with automation controls.
Smart homes save money too. A smart HVAC system intuits needs and adjusts to be efficient. Plus, you can easily view a readout of your utility usage. Correspondingly, automatically-timed shades use light efficiently. Blinds and shades that react to internal temperatures also save on your utility bills.
Not only are these perks good for the environment, they increase your quality of living as well. Saving time and being comfortable makes for a happier home. Saving money on utility bills adds to the happiness factor! Often, we’re so busy taking care of everyone else that we forget to take care of ourselves. Your smart home won’t forget.
Similarly, when you improve your home for yourself, it improves it for others. Consequently, smart home automation can actually increase your house’s value. Not only will your family enjoy it, future occupants will savor the benefits as well. When it comes time to sell, these features will add value to your investment.
A Smart Home is a Safe Home
Most importantly, at Synergy Integrated Systems, we help make smart homes safe homes. From nearly anywhere in the world, turn lights on or off. With the touch of a button, ensure you closed all the doors. Double-check that you locked all entry-points. Ensure your security system is active and view live footage.
In the end, this means that you can relax wherever you are. At home, or away, you will know that your home is secure.

A decade ago, Crestron began planting seeds that grew into the landscape of digital media as we know it today. Those seeds flourished through the years and now flower into multiple DM NVX platforms. From encoders, decoders, DM NVX Cards and DM NVX Director, this AV distribution technology transforms how we network. Ultimately, it creates a more seamless, real-time experience as all components work in tandem.
To best benefit from all that these systems offer, you first need an expert installation company. Synergy Integrated Systems is excited to be the Raleigh area resource to help you enjoy this innovative technology.
DM NVX Advantages
Initially, to fully grasp how DM NVX changed the landscape overall, it’s useful to understand its capabilities. Therefore, let’s review a few of the key elements it provides.
Foremost, superior image quality immediately separates this technology from its predecessors. Delivering real-time, full-motion 4K60 video, it’s more than suited for presentations, live camera imaging, and video conferences. Essentially, it’s nearly as close as you can get to “being there” when you physically cannot.
Likewise, this is the only network AV solution that ensures no latency. In other words, this patent-pending technology from Crestron eliminates any latency most have unfortunately seen during network transmissions. Awkward pauses and glitches are all but eliminated due to simultaneous encoding/decoding and scales. Thus, you can enjoy quality sound and video without delays.
Similarly, the ease of control reduces room for human error. Switch and control modes on the fly with a Crestron system or XiO director. Moreover, this saves costs. No longer do you need to modify network structure with costly hardware changes.
Speaking of hardware, DM NVX software is infinitely scalable. Across all networks, its encoders and decoders deliver content throughout your home or business. With a point-to-point set-up, you reach thousands of endpoints.
Additionally, this medium delivers display accolades at 4K60, 4:4:4 and HDR on a 1GbEthernet. Consequently, you needn’t worry about 10Gb infrastructures that many network AV products require. Clearly, this also saves on costly upgrades and extra maintenance.
Finally, the ability to control network security is imperative. In fact, this is often one of the most critical directives. Features such as Active Directory, credential management, and 802.1x authentication and more, create a secure solution for all users.
Finding Superior Installation
Now that you understand the basics of this innovative system, it’s appropriate to find a quality installation company. After all, these superlatives mean little without an informed, supportive and skilled team. As an experienced provider of Crestron products, Synergy Integrated Systems is here to help with that aspect.
Generally, we find that our customers have a few basic questions. Foremost on their mind, is cost. To help you determine this, we provide a free consultation to review your needs. Plus, we help you discover the scope of your installation and what fits your parameters most appropriately. Then, we provide a free quote to help you finalize your decision.
