Home Theater

Home Theater Creating the ultimate home theater environment is easy using automation. With a single touch of a button on your touch panel or remote the lights dim, the shades close, the screen opens, the temperature adjusts, the AV components turn on, the inputs are selected, the volume is set and the DVD server begins to play your movie. A home theater by Rotech System Integration puts you in complete control right from the comfort of your seat. For those movie lovers, there is nothing like the impact of earth shaking bass and sound effects that suck you in and make you feel like you're right in the middle of all the action.

Multi-Room Audio

Multi-Room Audio Enjoy music throughout the entire home or in just the room you choose with a multi-room audio system. Listen to your favorite jazz CD's while you sit back and relax in the great room while the kids watch a movie on the big screen in the media room and your spouse listens to the radio on the terrace. Now there is no need to walk to the stereo to choose a component, select a CD, change tracks or adjust volume. Control your system from anywhere in the house with the press of a button. Kick off your shoes and relax. You deserve it.

Lighting Control

Lighting Control Lighting control allows you to set the perfect scene and create the desired ambience for any occasion. Whether it's an intimate dinner for two, a business party or a quiet Sunday relaxing and reading the newspaper, lighting establishes the right mood. Traveling out of town or working late? The vacation mode can execute recorded lighting patterns to simulate established lifestyle patterns. With the security mode you can activate all the lights to flash in an event of an emergency. Are you not sure if you left a light on? Press the good night button and you can turn off the whole house.

Effect of Dimming Incandescent Light Bulbs

  • Dimming the light this much:

  • 10%
  • 25%
  • 50%
  • 75%

  • Saves electricity

  • 10%
  • 20%
  • 40%
  • 60%

  • Extends bulb life

  • 2 times longer
  • 4 times longer
  • 20 times longer
  • More than 20 times longer

Because the human eye perceives light non-linearly, it is possible to reduce light levels by over 10% before the reduction in brightness is noticed. This would lead to a near 10% saving in energy consumption. A 50% reduction in dimming levels would save around 40% of the energy.

Home Automation

Home Automation A home automation system automates your whole house, triggering events and routines involving light fixtures, security components and the heating/cooling system based on the time of day, temperature or any other condition that you select. For instance, when a sensor detects a vehicle in your driveway, your home automation system could turn on your lights. An automation system controls a collection of "subsystems." A subsystem is a system that even when operating by itself provides benefits to a homeowner. Common subsystems include lighting, security, entertainment, and heating/cooling systems, as well as devices like motorized drapes and basic appliances. A home automation system puts two or more subsystem under the control of one central controller, so that the press of one button can issue several commands to a variety of different electronic products.

A popular example: Pressing an "Away" button on a keypad might arm the security system and set back the thermostat to an energy-saving level. Pressing the "Home" button does the reverse.

Motorized Window Treatments

Home Theater Window shades are the most effective and flexible way to receive the benefits of daylight, yet manage the light and heat entering a room. Control the heat and light, and you have control over energy costs. Window treatments also add another important benefit aside from controlling heat and light and that is UV protection.

The sunlight streaming through your windows may seem beautiful. But keep in mind that it carries with it damaging UV rays that, over time, will damage your home's furnishings, artwork and floors.

Security and Surveillance

Security Monitor the front door or gate, watch the kids by the swimming pool or check on the baby napping in the nursery. You can control security cameras and watch what's going on around the house right from your touch panel or TV.

Advanced Wiring Infrastructure

Wiring In today's techno-savvy world, the benefits of advanced wiring in the home ranges from computer networking to elaborate home-automation systems. A comprehensive advanced wiring system by Rotech System Integration provides the infrastructure to create a well-organized communications network from room to room, and floor to floor. Advanced wiring when installed during new construction eliminates the need to retrofit wires through a finished wall, or cut open the wallboard to relocate wires that are not located in the correct spot. Instead, true advanced wiring often involves installing a bundle of wires from a central point to multiply locations to support systems that make our lives more convenient and our surroundings more comfortable.
