Something to add as well…

Scott and Jeremy decided in 2006 that they needed a model home instead of a store front to show their products and capabilities.  Today more than 50 scheduled visits a year show interested clients what Home Automation, Custom Security, Distributed Audio, Climate and Lighting Control, and Remote Access to IP camera's really mean to a home or business owner.  Scott and Jeremy also have a fully functional six seat theater that interested clients can "experience".
