Make Your Life Easier With Smart Home Technology & Automation

Smart home technology and automation provides you with security protection and time saving devices, adding comfort, convenience, and environmental savings.

Adding home automation to an existing home is surprisingly affordable and simple, from remote or automatic control of a few lights, to home security, and the installation of advanced controllers, or voice recognition.

A broad selection of home automation products offered by Nerds On Site allow you to control just about anything you wish in your home that’s electric, such as home theater & entertainment systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, lighting systems (electric & natural), audio, video, security, and intercom.

Most home automation products can be retrofitted into an existing home and it’s a good idea to add networking, audio, video and control wiring during a renovation or when building a new home when it is easy and relatively inexpensive.

Nerds On Site home automation systems are designed to integrate together for immediate use and can be expanded on in the future.  These systems are unseen in your home, working seamlessly in the background.

Smart homes allow you to view visitors at your front door on your TV, play your stereo by using voice recognition, light up your home from a remote or the internet, and dim light fixtures you could never dim before. Turn the wall/ceiling heater in your bathroom on automatically 5 minutes before your alarm clock goes off on a cold morning, and so much more! You will find the simplicity of home automation enjoyable and fun to show off to your friends and family.

Has Your Web Search Been Hijacked?

You go to search a website address, and without you knowing what’s oing on behind the scenes, that search suddenly gets intercepted or “hijacked”, not by terrorists or hackers, but none other than your own Internet Service Provider!

For those who don’t understand Nerdspeak we’ve done our best here to explain.

Lets start with DNS (Domain Name Service) proxy. DNS (Domain Name Service) is fundamental to the Internet, similar to your address book or phone book. Web sites will sometimes move to a new IP (Internet Protocol) address, DNS is what will locate the new address of the website you are searching. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have always provided this lookup service as part of their offerings, but many people and companies prefer to use alternate lookup servers such as OpenDNS or Google.

The Coming Decade In 3D, HD Television

Gizmodo - Jack Loftus

Ready or not, 3D HDTV is going to take the television scene by storm in the coming decade, at least according to our buddies over at HDGuru. Here's why they think the future is more Avatar than anything else:

First, even though manufacturers might be rushing things, considering their last lovechild, Blu-Ray discs, hasn't really taken anything by a storm, let alone a slight tropical depression, there are some consumer-friendly caveats to consider before grinding those teeth in anger.

Take price, for example. HDGuru predicts set prices will be largely in line with current HDTV offerings. Initial pricing for a 40-inch 3D-ready 240Hz LED LCD will check in at about $1300, whereas a similar non-3D set from Samsung is currently for sale is $1,250.
