When you consider protecting your home and family in Hayden, ID, what’s the first thought that comes to mind? For many, it’s security cameras—a way to keep an eye on your home when you’re away and warn possible intruders they’re being watched. 

And you would be right. According to the National Council for Home Safety and Security, homes with a security system are 300% less likely to be burglarized. Today, however, security cameras are smart and offer much more than a scare tactic and another set of eyes. 

At Wipliance, an expert security camera installation company, we partner with leaders in home automation and surveillance. Two of those brands, Luma Surveillance and Control4, work together to enhance your home security, creating a layer of protection once unheard of.

Recessed lighting is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its sleek and minimalist design. But it doesn’t always look its best. If not properly executed, recessed lighting can cast unflattering downward shadows and lead to what designers call “Swiss cheese ceiling.” 

But when carefully designed and applied, recessed lighting can look elegant and high-end. Below, we share three common mistakes people make with recessed lighting. Here’s how our recessed lighting installation company can fix those issues and create a visually dynamic atmosphere in your Coeur d’Alene, ID, home. 

There is no one and only way to achieve the perfect living experience.

While many of our clients enjoy the great outdoors, those in Hayden Lake, ID, embrace their love of nature with extra enthusiasm. It's easy to see why when surrounded by such immense beauty.

It’s also one of the many reasons why outdoor entertainment is a big draw, with many turning their backyards into spaces where friends and family gather to enjoy shared meals, great music, and movies under the stars. Of the many outdoor TVs that make this possible, one of our favorites is the Samsung Terrace TV. 

Let’s explore what makes this TV unique and how it enhances our clients’ everyday lives. 

While some generations may not recall the dark ages of television, there was a time when people had to get up from the couch and walk to their TVs to change the channel. We know it sounds barbaric, but such was the state of technology before the early 1960s. Undoubtedly, there'll come a time when the world looks at manual shades and light switches similarly.

As smart homes continue to advance, there will come a day when most homes will incorporate automation set to respond to your every need and desire with one tap on a beautiful touchscreen or keypad or with no effort on your part. For many, that day has arrived.

The Control4 platform is the brains behind your smart home, communicating with many connected systems and enabling devices to communicate with one another.

In the right hands, your lighting becomes much more than a way to see in the dark and perform life's many tasks.
