Did you know that the earliest CCTV surveillance cameras became available to the public in 1949? While they were groundbreaking new technology at the time, the 1949 cameras couldn’t record, were large and clunky, and required constant monitoring. 

Since then, surveillance technology has consistently evolved to perform better and keep people safer. Just recently, the surveillance manufacturer Luma unveiled a new line of products, the x20 collection, that are fully NDAA-compliant and will change the way homeowners protect their homes. 

If you’re in the market for a home surveillance camera installation, Luma’s new x20 cameras should be on your radar. Here’s how the latest technology can protect your Spokane, WA, home.

Music exerts a tremendous influence on humans. According to John Hopkins Medicine, listening to music has been shown to improve sleep, enhance mood, improve memory, reduce anxiety, and even reduce pain. That’s pretty powerful stuff. 

The question becomes, how much do we use the effective healing power of music? Our lives get busy. We rush home at the end of the day to spend some time with the kids and get dinner started. Others bring their work home with them. Before we know it, a day has passed without us tuning in to our favorite playlist, listening to our treasured vinyl, or just taking time to relax and let the music surround us. 

Here's the good news. A whole home audio system can change that. Let's explore how these systems transform homes and homeowners in Liberty Lake, WA.
