WOULDNT IT BE WONDERFUL?

"Wouldn`t it be great IF finally in the Algarve A.V. community there was a qualified company that offered wonderful customer service,a superb blend of products,a cost effective upgrade path for older systems?

How about a company with their own in house Home Automation solution that provided a fair priced simple system that could be supported locally?



Or a company that swapped out any defecti...ve equipment within 48hrs and didnt make the customer wait for the repair?


What about a company that was at the same all round level as the very best in the world-and affiliated with such..a company that could provide any audio visual environment your heart desires..be it an entertainment room..world class THX cinema..designed and created by THX professionals- with video setup by ISF qualified folks?.....What about a fantastic outdoor cinema/..or a themed cinema? Or a company that married the operation of security,satellite,multi room audio and video onto an IPAD for you..customised how you want?


Wouldn`t it be great to know that a company sold the products that they believed in not just the ones with the highest margin some common distributor had recommended ?



Wouldnt it be great if the greatest Audio Video Showrooms in Portugal were on your doorstep and you could actually see these wonderful cinemas and products..and have them demoed to you by top flight professionals with more than 40 years experience in the Audio Video market..the same professionals that have worked with the movie studios,worked for movie companies and created music studios,screening rooms and top flight cinemas throughout Europe?"


There is such a company...its us..Projectiondreams...

HOME AUTOMATION***THE TRUTH..

Hello Folks,

For many years now Home Automation/Domotica/Intelligent Home hasn`t had the greatest reputation..why is that?

Because HA (Home Automation) was always sold on complexity and on the possibilities of what the system could do- as opposed to what the clients needs actually were..

This resulted in over engineered,over programmed and over costed solutions..

In addition,the simplest changes resulted in more programming charges..and the programming charges were ridiculous...

Add into the mix the fact that few in Europe had the expertise to install and support such systems-this resulted in a poor overall perception of Home Automation..and in short it never took off as it should have..

The most known Home Automation solutions were Crestron and AMX..both American solutions..Both HA packages were meant for huge U.S. homes or indeed-as with AMX,super yaughts..

They were never really meant for smaller type projects...

Indeed,it wasn`t so long ago that with Crestron for example,if one part of the Crestron install failed ..the whole thing failed...

Recently,there have been more simplified *off the shelf* solutions like Control 4,which due to the ease in which you can install and learn,have become more popular..(*the downside is the GUI is not customisable)

Nevertheless,HA still isnt being sold as a simplified system..which it should be..the customers needs are not in a lot of instances being met..for example the first question I ask a customer is.."What would you like to control"?

Then at Projectiondreams we tailor a solution accordingly..often on smaller installs,we completely customise a solution,writing our own code within programs like Bitwise and Homeseer for example,even designing our own icons or operating system.

Recently,our customised solutions have become incredibly popular with clients who want Ipad or Google Tablets throughout to make huge savings on *off the shelf* HA packages..this i believe is the future.simple..custom..cost effective....

Our latest HA project..a complete house..

In the old days..before Ipad,you wanted a whizzy looking tablet..it would have cost you 3k plus from the likes of Crestron et al..now that same functionality with a bit of custom programming is available for a 10th of that cost..and I think thats great for the customer..:-)

THE ANSWER TO SECURITY PRAYERS..TRACK AND TRACE..

Dear Folks,

Well..Projectiondreams are yet again first with another uniquety..and this time its a biggie!

EVERY piece of equipment sold by Projectiondreams will have the option of a Track and Trace service..this has been agreed with the distributors/manufacturers on certain kit, to ensure that in the event of a theft,your item can be swiftly located and recovered.

We are talking to insurers who will lower contents premiums because of this system-as well as local police forces who will co operate with tracking information provided by projectiondreams in the event of a robbery.

Any Projectiondreams customer that opts for this low cost service is provided with an outside plaque for their property that states TRACK AND TRACE SYSTEM INSTALLED.

This is a HUGE deterrent to thieves who are immediately alerted to the fact that any valuable items they may take would be traceable.

The Track and Trace system includes monitoring of your equipment..even if is is moved 1 metre..we will know and be alerted by SMS...the equipment will be checked daily.

This system is not only appropriate to equipment sourced from Projectiondreams,but can be retro fitted to your existing equipment-including expensive kitchen appliances etc..***

***In situations where the manufacturer has not given authorisation for additional devices,the client will need to sign an agreement of permission..this is though acedemical as the inclusion of track and trace does not interfere or interup the normal functioning of the equipment in any way..and as such not invalidate manufacturer warranty.

In these days where the targetting of the affluent and their possesions for robbery is rife,the security of knowing your goods may be stolen (*though it would be an incredibly stupid thief that steals traceable items that could lead to his/her arrest)..but not for long, is a huge "peace of mind" plus..

Certainly TRACK AND TRACE compared to nothing is an instant benefit..and is indeed the best deterrent..even better than security cameras and alarms.(which on their own,a lot of thieves ignore..)..added to security cameras and alarms its a comprehensive protection structure..:-)

Best Regards,
Vince
