With these systems in the home, homeowners can have either, a wireless, color video camera or hard-wired cameras. The system   recognizes each camera and post clips of video on a customer’s personal, secured security web site. These systems can direct wireless and hardwired cameras and post their images on the customer’s site. For any given security event, one or any number of installed cameras can be instructed to capture video.

• Examples of what you can do: view a picture (or video) from inside the home, turn on lights, turn on your audio system, adjust the thermostat and water heater, learn of a water leak in the laundry room, and order groceries online, all at the same time. 
• You can choose where alert messages are sent (i.e. work phone, pager, cell phone, e-mail). You also determine what the response will be to the alert message. 
• Services offered in the initial release include a family calendar and scheduling center, and a grocery service link that utilizes a handheld bar code reader to capture UPCs and build a shopping list.
• Services scheduled for future release include home office supply ordering, and personal health monitoring devices. The company will also offer an energy usage and monitoring capability that allows the homeowner to partner with an electric service provider for better pricing.
• Provide total peace of mind for the elderly or handicapped by providing the freedom and dignity of living on their own with monitored home automation.
• The site architecture uses firewall, password, and encryption tools to preserve the security of customer information. All home data that passes across the Internet is encrypted.

In the past, systems would cost 30 to 60 percent of a homes budget. Now Home Automation can be obtained for a fraction of that cost. Metro Home Technologies will be happy to show you how.
