The Diamond Whole House Integration
System
Diamond Communications has anchored itself in the premise that converging
technologies should be used to simplify one's life. Every product and service we
offer is pre-tested in our own homes for convenience, reliability, ease of use,
and seamless integration.
A few examples
include:
Whole House Audio/Video Systems we install not
only allow you to listen to quality music in any room, but also provides the
ability to control your audio source from anywhere in your home. Additionally,
you may turn to a pre-configured channel on your TV to bring up your entire
music library on an Audio Server, which offers the option of browsing through
your music by song, artist, album or genre. When it comes to video, the
capabilities are innumerable. Modulating a video source, such as a VCR or DVD
player allows the movie to be played on any TV throughout the house. TVs can
also act as security monitors, capable of displaying video from any number of
cameras. Keep an eye on the kids, the baby room, the backyard and/or the front
door—it’s never been easier than with a whole house video system. Speaking of
the front door, answer it remotely or converse with a visitor just by picking up
your phone. If it’s someone you want to let in, just press a couple of buttons
on the phone to unlock the door. Pressing another set of numbers on the phone
could alert your teenager that she has a visitor.
Security and Automation is one of our specialties. Take
total control of your home with the confidence of an automation/security system,
whether you’re at home, at the office or on vacation. Monitor and/or be notified
of the comings and goings of your children by either phone message, email or
both. Never worry whether you closed the garage doors or turned off the coffee
maker again, with a home automation system, mundane yet important tasks are
completed for you. Never again come home to a dark house—your home can welcome
you instead, by illuminating the driveway, the front door, foyer, or any light
of your choosing. Save time water by irrigating only when necessary. The system
knows whether or not to water depending if it’s rained in the last few days. The
heat, air conditioning and water heater can be controlled based upon whether
you’re at home or away, asleep or awake, thereby saving on utility bills. Your
home can appear occupied while you’re away on vacation by having the system
mimic your normal lighting routine.
Computer
Networks and Telephone Systems are similar to one another, as both utilize
CAT5E wire. This fact allows for flexibility and convenience for the homeowner.
With Diamond’s Whole House Integration System, any outlet can be used either as
a data port or phone jack by a simple reconfiguration at the low voltage panel.
Utilizing the correct wire and a low voltage panel gives the home owner the
ability of sharing high speed modems, printers, and files. This results in a
more efficient use of resources in the home—not to mention home office benefits.
Home Theater, Audio Equipment and Surround
Sound is a major point of confusion for many homeowners. We take the
confusion out of the equation. Home Theater is realistically in the eye, ear and
(unfortunately) the wallet of the beholder. That’s why we offer systems for
every budget. Options of display considerations include: projection, plasma,
LCD, DPL, CRT. Audio and video formats such as Dolby Digital ES to Pro Logic II
to THX are all available variables. The techno jargon becomes almost
overwhelming, but we can help you navigate the sea of acronyms. We can and will
design, install (and are you ready for this) train you to use the perfect
system. Perfect because it is customized to your wants, needs and budget. The
possibilities run from the familiar TV with a simple sound system in the living
room, to a dedicated theater room with a huge projection screen, 7.1 THX
surround sound and bass thumpers in theater style seats. We are here to assist
you in implementing the best picture, the best sound and the best bang for your
buck!
Wiring Your Home for the Future is a
matter of standard with Diamond. Our philosophy extends from the home office to
the entertainment center, at the kitchen counter and out to the yard. We urge
our clients to run as much wire as their budget allows, while considering every
appliance in the home. These very appliances will have an IQ of their own, for
example; future refrigerators will keep an inventory of its contents, while
tracking expiration dates and emailing you the grocery list before you leave the
office. Most appliances are already utilizing microchip technology to operate
day to day functions, self-diagnostics and automatic online updates. Does all
this sound over the top? Consider this, only a decade ago a home computer was a
novelty. Think back a bit further, TVs and/or telephones in nearly every room
would have been considered extravagant. Not to mention central heat and air,
garbage disposals and garage door openers. Those items are now added to a new
home without a second thought. I can remember my father’s statement in reference
to the advent of the TV remote control, “just how lazy does a person have to be
to own one of those.” With the Diamond Whole House Integration System installed,
your can rest assured you are wired for the future.
