Determining the Best Tech Gift

Smart home technology encompasses a vast range of possibilities. Is your tech lover also a fan of high-fidelity music? Do they spend time immersed in sporting events and watching movies? Maybe security is first and foremost on their mind. 

Do they have an existing home automation platform, like Control4? If so, you’ll need to consider compatibility. Because Control4 is compatible with over 25,000 third-party devices manufactured by hundreds of brands, chances are you can find the right gift for their needs. 

Audio Redefined

High-fidelity music systems managed by home automation are some of the most popular smart technologies in the audio world. These allow instant connections to all their audio sources, whose signals are sent to speakers in every room. The result is stunning music and immersive audio that captivates attention and changes mood.

While in-wall and in-ceiling speakers are often the go-to option due to their high-fidelity sound and unobtrusive integration into a home’s design, wireless options do exist. Another possibility for audio enthusiasts is smart soundbars, which provide impressive 3D surround sound experiences. 

For over 30 years, Electronic Integration has provided customized audio-video and automated solutions. We can discuss your friend or family member’s preferences and come up with a solution just for them. 

Smart Security Gifts

Home security, in one form or another, seems to be on many people’s minds. One of the popular options in this category is the video doorbell. This solution lets users see what’s happening at home from their smart home app. When someone comes to the door, they’ll receive an alert and can view live video feed. Two-way audio lets them speak to their new arrivals. From there, they can open the door, turn off the alarm, and illuminate the lights, allowing them to relax until they return home. If it’s a delivery driver, they can open the garage door and ask the driver to place the packages inside for safekeeping.

The Ultimate Home Entertainment

If you're considering a gift for someone who has not yet embraced the latest 4K smart TVs, you can’t go wrong with the latest Sony options. For those looking to share the ultimate video experience, the Sony Bravia 8 II is the brand’s premium QD-OLED 4K HDR Google TV, delivering brilliant real-world colors, pure blacks, extreme contrast, and the highest OLED brightness. AI technology enhances every scene.
