Gizmos to Get Fit With

If you're in "getting in shape" mode, you might be interested in learning about the help you can get from technology and the internet.

Bathroom Scales

This is the first and most basic tool for any weight-loss program--measuring where you are currently and helping you decide where you need to go.  But now scales are Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth compatible.  There are so many of these products on the market that the easiest way for you to check many of them out is to simply click here to link to Amazon.com to give you a good starter list and prices of some that are available. They don't just measure weight!  Depending upon the model (and what you're willing to pay) you can learn your degree of body fat, bone mass, muscle mass, hydration and more.  And you don't need to keep record.  The scale will send your results to your computer or smartphone and log it for you through software and/or phone apps they provide!

Activity Monitors

Light activity is where you want to start?  Then all the experts say you should have a walking regimen.  Again, LOTS of products available and they start with the technology version of pedometers and advance to handle other forms of exercise.  This blogger covers six different devices that may be of interest to you.  In short, these devices will do such things as total up your activity level, monitor your heart rate, measure your blood pressure, calculate calories burned, etc.  Of course, most of them will do the recording for you in your health/fitness program on your computer or phone.

Rest is Important Too

Getting proper rest is important to an overall fitness program and, yes, there is even technology to help with that!  One of those is Zeo.  Whole clinics are now devoted to sleep assessment because having your eyes closed at night doesn't equate to sleep.  So most people don't know why they're fatigued when they awake thinking they've had a good night's sleep.  One product Zeo offers is a headband you wear while you sleep.  The information the headband downloads shows you how restful or else restless you sleep, measures the amount of REM sleep you got and scores your night.  You'll even get recommendations on how to improve your sleep.

Weight loss and fitness management is about about measurable results.  These products and SO many more can help you keep that New Year resolution.

Consider These Benefits of a Professional Security System

Installing a security and surveillance system seems to be fairly straightforward, but perhaps you have not considered the many different ways you can use it in your everyday life. Security alarms and cameras aren’t just about protecting your home in the Baton Rouge, LA area; it’s also about simplifying your day-to-day tasks and keeping an eye on everyone in your house – even the dog! Continue reading to discover all the benefits of installing one of our systems in your house.

Baby Cam, or Nanny Cam

When there is a baby in the house, there is nothing more important than making sure the little boy or girl is taken care of. When they are that small, they need constant attention and a watchful eye to make sure nothing goes wrong. We have small cameras that are most appropriate for capturing your little one 24-7. You will be able to check in on him or her at any time through your mobile device or computer. The video is in color and crystal clear so you can see even the smallest movements. Of course, we have audio tied to it as well so you can hear if the baby is crying. Our cameras are also wonderful for keeping an eye on the nanny too so you can observe how they handle your kids.

Pet Care

We know you love and care for your dogs, cats, or other animals like family members, so we offer special surveillance for them too. We can install cameras on the porch, in the backyard, or any place your pets reside. Just like your kids, you can check up on them at any time during the day or night and see realtime footage. If you see the dog has escaped or the cat has gotten into something bad, you can immediately take action. We can even set up alerts for you so that if your pet goes into an off-limits area you will get a text message or email. These sensors are helpful for when strangers step onto your property or your dog gets loose.

Screen Visitors

Another great way to use cameras is to hook them up to an intercom system. Place a surveillance camera at the front door, and then when someone knocks on the door or rings the bell, you can see who it is out front and even speak to them through an intercom. You don’t even have to be at home! Say for example, a UPS woman stops by to drop off a package. You get an alert sent to your smartphone at work and talk to her through the intercom to let her know she can leave the package at the front door.

Our goal is to help you stay connected with every member of your family and make sure they are safe at all times. While safety and security are top priories when installing these systems, we like to assure you that there are many other ways you can take advantage of the technology too. Do you need an update, a new install, or a repair? Call us or message us online!
